after looking at your well documented pics i have one question. how many of those suckers do you have? i saw 3 but you prolly have more.

I guess you could say he's Extra-Virgin. In your case, Nursey, I could probably "Unfuck" you a thousand times, and still not make you a virgin again. Oh, and I'm not arrogant...I really AM better than everyone else.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> And there we have it...right on cue! Shit Kaps must surely have been *groaning* as he scraped the bottom of the barrel to deliver us that, aherrrm...highly convincing and stunning 'linguisticsmanship' equivalent of a thirteen year olds penis drip.

How did we not guess that it means: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote ...i am afraid such an inspired, intellectual behemoth's wry wit coupled with his lightening fast mental acrobatics are lost on us lumbering neanderthals. 'Unfuck you.' I must remember to use that one, often.

Badass game, I used to play it on the Saturn all the time. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dr.Roboto: thats pretty pimp Lomo. do i detect a hint of phosphorus burn-in?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, most of these games are going to have some phosphor burn, but what do you expect on a 25-year-old game, eh? The older monitors are easier to work on than the new ones, and it's cheaper to fix old ones than to buy a new $200-300 monitor for every cab you come across... Plus, as is the case with many electronics nowadays, newer shit seems to have a higher failure rate than tried-and-tested older electronics. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote The screens are what I'm going to be working on next. Last night I grafted a power cord onto the machine without one, ...and started hooking up all the loose wires where they need to go when I realized that I'm missing both the monitor interface board and the vertical/horizontal board from both cabs. My parts guy sells sets for $45, and I'll have to wait on an order to see if I can get at least one of the monitors working. I'd like to tinker around with the boards a bit and get it to play blind before I make that investment, though. Another thing. In the interest of preservation, I would never MAME an original dedicated arcade cabinet. I've got a generic cab that will probably be a MAME donor someday, but that's a project for the distant future. Part of the whole experience is playing a game in it's original cabinet, with the original artwork, and the original control panel. With MAME, it's just not the same. Call me a purist. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dr.Roboto: after looking at your well documented pics i have one question. how many of those suckers do you have? i saw 3 but you prolly have more.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> This makes a grand total of ten.
Oh, and Tim... About the only time I've ever put words to video game tunes was the underwater stages of SMB1 - it was just the word "Shit" repeated for every note... If you're actually making up lyrics for these games I'd start to worry...
Lomo- I know what ya mean dude(about the MAME thing)... A long time ago I put my Nintendo into a "Paddle Battle" cabinet...(story on WHY below)...but no matter what game system you put in one, it is nowhere near the same. Cute conversation piece, but not as fun. Here's how it came about...I was hanging at a pool hall(owned by my then-best friend's parents), it burned down back in '84. I was given a "Lunar Lander" machine(in great condition...it was in the back room at the time of the fire)...and one of two "Paddle Battle" machines. Thing was, one of those had a dead tv(yeah, it's THAT old) in it. They thought they had given me the dead one...so I cut the wires(not even thinking I should test it), and tossed the tv(I thought I could replace it with another one...never could find a way to do it). Anyway, about a month after I tossed the tv, I was called and asked if I still had it...because it was the WORKING one. Damn I was pissed! Last year, the throttle control on the Lunar Lander finally busted(it was made in '79). I need to replace that, but otherwise it still works.
So, essentially, what you're telling me is that you have a non-working "Lunar Lander?" Do you want to sell it? Also, where the fuck do you live?
*Turns green with envy* You lucky bastard Lomo! Not one, but two Defender machines! You know that's my all time favourite game. How lucky can a man get? They must be as rare as rocking horse shit! I spent half my youth attatched to one of those things!

MD's too long of a haul to pick it up, anyway... Unless Cheeze has room on his truck during one of his trips out here, of course...
you asked to buy a piece of equipment from my dear friend shitzo here, and he agreed and asked how much they were worth. to which I replied "very little, right lomo"? then shitzo came back with yet another witty comment, someting about being a 'bone smoker' which I felt was uncalled for. thus I thought the comment was funny but some people seemed to have taken offense to it.

You *ARE* gay, ain'tcha? If you called me a "Carpet Muncher", I wouldn't take offense! Why not? Cuz I *AM*! Oh, wait...just thought of something...guess I should've asked somewhere along the line...but I kinda made an assumption. Are you an "oral sex" kinda gay? Or a "Back Door" kinda gay? Or both? Not that I *REALLY* want to know...but figure I might as well ask, so I don't make this mistake in the future.
EH? Well if it was funny before, it sure as shit ain't now... And you thought which comment was funny? Being a cocksmoker?? Menounderstand...

You have to realize, any post made by yours truly at 2:35 AM is bound to be alcohol-influenced/-impaired. In all honesty, there are many games that I'd like to someday own. Lunar Lander is one of those, but only because of how old it is. He's got something that's fairly rare, and I think he should hold on to it as long as he can keep it preserved. Too many vintage games are lost to conversions, MAME, scrapping, and the like. I've played Lunar Lander before, it was okay, one of those games that would have to grow on me, though. Because these games take up so much space and are more prone to breaking than say, a cartridge version or a ROM file, each game you take in is a major investment (if not money-wise, then space-wise, and/or labor-wise.) I really don't think I'll ever get a Lunar Lander because there are so many other games that I want to have more. I'd considered buying a Defender in the past, but passed it up because I already have a side-scrolling space shoot-em-up from the same era (Cosmic Avenger). I'm trying to diversify my gameroom and have maybe 1-2 of each genre. The POW cabinet I bought is to be my JAMMA cab for horizontally-oriented games in the future, and I already have the Pacman/space shooter fields occupied. But hey, these two were free, and it gave me an excuse to get started on two project cabs from one of my favorite childhood games. Anyway, I'm running off course here, so let me give y'all an update on the Defender cabs... One of my online friends happens to have two complete monitor chassis/boards for these particular monitors, and he's going to send them to me if I pick up shipping costs. Hopefully in a week or two we'll see some progress in these games, but for now I'm at a standstill.
