OK, I admit it....
« on: January 19, 2010, 07:40:06 PM »
...I enjoy setting a high-score on other people's machines.....

I know, I'm really sorry !  ;D

I visited Arcadecollection's place last fridaynight (to bring his "missing" Centipede bezel) and I _HAD_ to play his Italian Centipede machine, which is totally weird since it's shorter then the "real" Centi-cab and the monitor is much more "flat".
Anyway I was just playing a game and kept talking with Rob and actually put a decent score on it (turned out it was the top-score  ;D). Rob thought the machine wasn't remembering the hi-scores, but we power-cycled it and it was still there.

Anyway, if you see DRE, it was me :P

Uh no. I didn't bring my camera and it was only a very shot meeting. In his gameroom were (from the top of my head) SI, Centipede (Italian version), Centi (the one I found (working now !), Galaxian, Rolling Thunder, Outrunners 2 seat, a cocktail table, a Galaga repro that Rob built himself, and o-how-sweat a Ms.Pac Man.
I'm sure I missed a couple of cabs though.

He also has an EDOT !!!! :o :o :o :o :o but that one is in storage, like some more stuff afaik.

I like when my friends set a new record on a machine of mine... it gives a new target score to me ;)

Thinking about it: I deleted the records on Muerto's Berzerk PCB because I removed the battery for shipping.
Now I have to go up to Denmark to set it again :P

Ckong, as soon as Ully's Breakout "has left the building" I will be able to acces my Centipede normally again and work on the PCB's will continue....
