yes it is Ken

Thanks for posting

ha no problem enjoy

down side is i spend more time fixing/building games than i do playing them

but oh well for me thats almost as fun

Are NBA Hang Time machines hard to come by? How reliable are they? I'm not an NBA fan at all anymore, but I love that game. Mainly on Super Nintendo, but a full size machine would be uber cool. What about Killer Instinct for that matter? Probably the coolest fighting game in history IMHO. Both Super Nintendo and arcade. I have a lot of questions!!

nba is kinda common depending on the local market your in its a 300-600$ game


killer instinct is a common game but its pretty sought after they can go from 700-1500$ depending on the market


the 2 games are so so on reliability

they run on almost the same board set and are hard drive based
so the hdd can crap out at any time as well as the problems that come with a standard arcade game board



for those 2 games you would be better off with a multigame machine

Thanks for the info. I have more ?s, but I'll save them for another night.

In the mean time, I'm sure you've seen this, but I can't recommend it enough to everyone. It's fun to watch and in my opinion life changing in it's message. I watch it twice a year just to remember where I'm at in life.

The full length version is available on youtube as well. Not only retro, but very enlightening.

My wife and I watched this a year or two ago and couldn't turn it off, crazy to watch. I think Billy needs to invest in a stylist.... badly.

To the original poster, if you were going to recommend an all arounder,, great 1980's era standing console game for your basement billiards room, could you name a few? Budget <$2k but cheaper is better. I am a big fan of games like centipede, defender, and driving games like Outrun.

i sell these the most
they cover all of (or most) of the classics

this is my cl add
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/vgm/3668568363.html

im cheap tho there are big box stores that sell these but they usually sell fro 1500-2500$


your other option is to build a mame machine
buy old broken arcade machine
replace monitir with a flat screen
replace guts with computer
hook it all up to arcade controls with one of these http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76_80&products_id=199
play 5000+ arcade games on 1 machine

Sweet another Pinball/Arcade guy on here.
Since starting the online store I don't have as much time to devote to them.
I have too many projects right now sitting in my basement that I need to get to.

The multi-machines are frowned upon by the purists in the arcade hobby. I am not that concerned, but something about the real thing is better to me.
I am actually looking at one of these right now. http://www.jammaboards.com/store/6-in-1-multijamma-switcher-pcb-pcb-6in1switcher.html (not compat with Neo Geo though) Lets you plug 6 original arcade boards in and switch between games.

Just went to the Midwest Gaming Classic last weekend. The best gaming show around, my pictures from last weekend. I have a Ripleys and Hot Line pinball in those pictures some place.

cool
the multi jamma switches are pretty crappy they fail often and make the inside of your machine crap looking(they are also notorious for blowing game boards due to to high or to low power)


if you want original stick original (dont cram 5 boards into a machine and call it original) and really anything jamma is crap anyway lol



as far as the multigame machines not being the same that's a misconception by he klov tards that want to try and keep the value of their originals

a well done mame machine is just like the original (unluess you think somthing like this is a well done mame http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/19.html)
keep it simple and make the controls arcade quality and no more buttons joysticks than what a original game would have
i refuse to do more than 2 player 6 but per player on the games i do

and the 60 in 1 boards are exact to the originals excpt the sound is over driven on gyurss and 1943


i have been in the arcade industry for over 10 years (8 years full time job) and have had just about every game you can think of go thrue my door
and side by side there is no difference in game play in 98% or the mame/multiboard games



the only games that dont do well on a multiboard or mame are control specific games or the strange stuff like the laser-disc games


the klov guys also think its horrible to convert a game to a lcd
for me thats just stupid
i can and do repair the tube screens but at this point the tubes are at least 15 years old
the caps on the monitors have a shelf life of 5 years
and even if i rebuild a monitor there in no gaurntee that a part that's not avail is not going to blow up

for me ill buy one of these
http://www.sainsmart.com/sainsmart-gbs-8220-rgb-cga-ega-yuv-to-vga-arcade-hd-video-convert-board.html?___store=en&___store=en

slap a lcd tha thas a better image quality and crisper picture
and not have to fret that my customer is going to call me in 3 days saying their monitor blew up



sorry for the rant but man 70% of the klov crowd erks me with their holier than thou attitude when most have some sort of multigame lol

Good to know. I actually have a 1943 that was converted from a Centipede out in garage that I was thinking of doing this with. The one big issue was monitor orientation between games. So I hadn't decided if I wanted the multi-board, guess i know my answer now. I have to get a new harness though, it is a mess of new wire and old from the Centipede.
