Re: Ask kyleb about old-school video games (or coin-ops)
[ QUOTE ]
are one of these really worth $3K? Or is using emulators on a modded xbox pretty much the same thing? [/ QUOTE ] It's worth $3k if you want to actually put it in an arcade, considering it's 100% legal then, but if you want it just to play it, just hack an XBox 1 and install a ton of emulators on it. Buy some quality joysticks from Lik-Sang and you'll be fine.

How many people a day would play the pinball machines? 2? 3? I love these things, but the business is dead from what I here. [/ QUOTE ] Pinball machines were pretty popular when I ran the arcade, but only specific ones. Jurassic Park, Theatre of Magic, and High Roller Casino were the most popular ones, so we hung on to those for a long time. A great place that has tons of pinball machines (or at least used to) is Pinball Pete's in Michigan. Check it out if you're in the area.

Re: Ask kyleb about old-school video games (or coin-ops)
Why did Williams' 8-way joysticks always fail? I seem to remember having the same problems with Robotron 2084, Smash TV, and Total Carnage. Were they just inherently bad hardware or something?

[/ QUOTE ] Oh man - the diagnols always failed, and this was on multiple machines. Robotron, too. Tough to get around in Robotron only moving 4 directions. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I really enjoyed going to the arcade at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in CA, as they had a bunch of old games, and the ones I played worked great (Tempest, Battlezone, Track & Field, etc).

Re: Ask kyleb about old-school video games (or coin-ops)
kyleb,
Which is a better game -- Final Fantasy I for the NES, or Phantasy Star for the Sega? Please answer on the basis of those games only and not any subsequent titles.

[/ QUOTE ] I feel like I'm being put on trial and asked a very direct question for the purpose of giving one obviously known answer. So, I'll come right out and say it: Phantasy Star.
