Hey guys,

I shot a quick video while at the grand opening celebration for Yestercades in Redbank NJ yesterday. The arcade is awesome - they have a great variety and a very cool location. The town of Redbank is terrific with many other cool places and shops to go to. I had a great time. Best of luck to Ken and the whole Yestercades team!

Looks great! I will check it out as well. Now all they need is a scoreboard :)
 
Yes, the scoreboard is a must. Some of the games were not set to tournament settings however. Donkey Kong, for example, was set on 6 lives and an extra guy at 7000. Made it pretty easy for me to put up a 6 figure score. Some of the pins need a few tweaks, but overall everything was working great and the staff was really attentive to fixing stuck balls, and stuff of that nature.

I'm working on it.

We were hoping for everything 100% by the grand opening but that didn't happen. I
met Ken just a couple of weeks ago and before that he got royally screwed by
some self proclaimed "techs". There are just a couple of hard downs left to finish
up. The PO lost the boardset for Super Off Road so hopefully that will show up
soon. Fingers crossed I'll have Burger Time done in a couple of days as well as
Pole Position.

Once everything is running I can start fine tuning everything including Elektra and
Moon Patrol's missing sound as well as all the game settings.

Elektra was playing ok as far as I can tell, but I'm not too familiar with the gameplay to know if something wasn't working. High Speed had a lockup (I turned it off and turned it back on and it made it through the rest of the night). I think Arena is missing some actual pinballs because it wouldn't kick out another ball after the first ball got locked. A lot of the vids had really crystal clear screens. Afterburner and Ninja turtles looked almost as if they brand new monitors in them. I think PP was the only vid that was on that wasn't working.

The pins were getting a ton of play! At any given moment I'd say at least 7 or 8 of them would be in use.

Congrats again on a great opening, my boss Jesse and I had a terrific time and would like to visit again sometime.
