The one that started it all is back...

[Broodwich]

Sure.

For open Ice put in MXV and Oct 14

For Hangtime I think they got rid of the bday and changed it to a number instead and we just used our birthdays again anyway so it would be MXV 1014

will this work on maximum hangtime?

as for the sticks good to know on the IL switches being a different tolerance, i didn't know that (i don't think i've ever had an IL stick either).

if i can get the original ones from the manual from happ i'm definitely going to .

Yes .

 

[Broodwich]

well then, i'm having a maximum hangtime delivered to a buddies at 4 so i'll be sure and play MXV then

 

[MXV]

Haha, Ive actually played as you when I had a Max Hangtime cab. A buddy of mine and I one weekend played with every secret character in the game. You were a tester for Midway, yeah?

I was for a few years starting after MK2 then I worked in then ran their field test program the last couple of years they were in the coin-op business.

Thats awesome. Midway games from the 90s are some of my favorites. What a sweet job.

 

[OldTymeToys]

Nice! This was the first game I played at Dave & Busters when I went there for the first time many years ago. It got a lot of play on the MAME cab too.

Seattle is a good team to play as, but GP sucks in it. I've had him blow several layups. His stats are based on what he was before he was "good". I "won" with that team, but used Charlotte a lot too. Mourning and Johnson are a couple of bruisers. I thought I remember hearing back in the day that they were the best team or whatever. In any case, when you start playing the programmers teams, but computer assistance is crazy...better make sure you have a 15 point lead with the last 45 sec to go or you're screwed!

EDIT-Oh, and I picked mine up off E-bay for $450 about a month ago. It happened to be relatively local to me and he had just sold another one 2 weeks before that for the same amount. Both were TEs.

Seriously, its the worst. I actually found a pic of my 1st JAM cab. I dont know how my record was ever that good w/ the cheap losses you get.

You know who else is underrated? The Clips. Dominique and Manning/Harper are solid. Good team, for sure.

 

[Jedidentist]

Yeah, I think I went through it with only 4 losses. However, I think I've lost 6 out of the last 7 games I've played. As soon as you get the ball they swarm you and you can't even pass the ball. I just shoot it to try to kill 6-7 seconds of time.

Have you played Max Hangtime after beating all 29 teams? The CPU starts out with team fire. Its bullshit, man!

 

[PrepP]

Boooomshakalaka!!!!!

Awesome Jow!

I also got into this hobby because of NBA JAM. So many memories of dumping quarters into this game at the local arcade. Loved teaming up with my friend and playing other people who thought they could hang. So much fun. This was also the first Arcade machine I bought when I got into the hobby. I even purchased the Maximum Hangtime board from you a few years ago for it. THANKS again for that man. Still playing it today with my son! Congrats on getting your grail.

I'm gonna have to play as MXV later when I get home. Awesome!! Still need to find a TE v.1 board eventually too. I want it because TE had Larry Bird in it and for the MK characters.

Is that true? I had heard rumors of that but never saw it.

 

[treborlicec]

I do not know of a code to play as Bird. Can anyone confirm? My machine is on 1.0 and could test later.

 

[Broodwich]

i have v3.0 and v1.0 roms (i use the 1.0 roms strictly) i've never seen a reference to larry bird in the 1.0

here are the special chars in 1.0 and 2.0 that aren't in 3.0

*Coman(guy w/ gas mask) TJC OCT 11
*Elviscious ELV JAN 8
*Grim Reaper GRM OCT 31
*Kongo KNG JAN 16
*Raiden RAD JUL 9
*Reptile RPT NOV 11
*Sub-Zero SUB DEC 5
*Barkley BRK FEB 20


i can't wait to play some max hang time, T-Minus 1 hour!!!

me and my buddy are currently 24-4 both of us being rusty as hell at first we're now a brutal team (100+ injuries to the opposing team per game )

I've always been puzzled about Barkley being a secret character. In v1.0 and v2.0, he is selectable without a code. Does he have better stats if you use the code?

You also left out Scorpion, Brood.

Fact: While Open Ice was in development I came up with (along with my testing partner, the duke) the stats for all the secret players in the game.

Fact#2: I couldn't tell you for the life of me what they were though, that was so long ago. I do know that I was on the stronger end of the scale but the main programmer vetoed my having all 10's for stats!

I've always been puzzled about Barkley being a secret character. In v1.0 and v2.0, he is selectable without a code.

I'm pretty sure he was in a SNES game at the time, and they weren't supposed to use him in TE. When the final 3.0 rev came out, they took him off to avoid any issues.

Right. I remember "Barley's Shut up and Jam" but I was referring to the fact that there is a code for him, but you don't need it since he is already on the roster in v1 and v2.

Oh, haha, gotcha. Whoops.

Is that code real?
