Galaxian 3 Funworld Update
« on: April 30, 2025, 12:33:11 AM »
Last Sunday, I went back to FunWorld to see if Galaxian 3 was working, but it was not. :(

However, I asked someone if they could turn it on, and they did! ;D

As for the condition, it was the same, with the same sound issues present unfortunately (no music for most of the game and less voices), but player 5 accepted tokens. After 2 hours, the left laserdisc starting glitching again, like in FramedNiner's video, so it's probably an issue with the v-mix board that DarthNuno brought up. Hopefully they can fix it... :-\ but the game is still fun nevertheless ;)

Thanks for your feedback. It's really great that Funworld has persevered in repairing this game and that, despite the difficulties, they continue to want to keep it running.  :spaceace:

You're absolutely right to make the most of it while you can, despite the technical issues.  :)

As of now, the game is powered off. Investigation is being done into a solid state solution to the LaserDisc problem.

So it turns out that if you ask the technician there, he can turn the theater on for an hour. The reason it's not always on is because of a fault that develops on the left side, presumably due to a failing laserdisc player. The sound is screwed up too. However, the game is still enjoyable in it's entirety, and efforts are being made to fix the issue.

Thanks for the update. It?s a good way to do things ? even if it runs into a small issue after an hour, it?s really nice to launch the game anyway for those who want to.  :spaceace:
