cool pictures, michael 8)! was the girl (or the girlS) playing your games as well?

about your berzerk: it seems to be working on and off these days - what are you doing to make it work again? wiggle the flat cables?
Title: Re: Party tonight!
Post by: Muerto on July 04, 2010, 03:57:41 PM
no the girl did´nt play any games...
I did´nt do anything to the berzerk, other than leave it with power on.... and then it came on... and after one hour or 2 it froze up again..

Nice party Mike  ;)

Maybe you should give a try to Advance Mame after all! You would be surprised of the result. Many of us use it and it rocks!  :-*
Feel free to express your opinion/experience/feeling on this post (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=614.0) please  ;)

Regarding the party, too bad the girls didn't try any game. Puzzle Bubble or Tetris would be a solution normally  :)

cool michael! but doesn't it just suck when games "die" during a party? the same happened to me at my party when one after the other missile command, paperboy and congo bomgo stopped functioning!  :'(

It's part of the hobby. 30 year old electronics will die occasionally....

It's like classic cars. They may be not as reliable, but they are a lot more fun than any modern day stuff :P


But you can always Mame the machines to make them more reliable  ;D ;D ;D ;D
