Apparently the monitor just didn't turn on one day. you clearly know more about this than I do." lol.Įvery single cap on the control board for monitor 1 (the bad one) look good, so now I'm wondering how bad it is. so cool), he looked at me and said "Well. When he came back around, after paging through the manual (something else it came with.
so I jumped into the "Test mode" and turned the unit to a single player unit and it worked. hah.įun fact - I did the math with the coin counter (I didn't realize it would have one, so I was excited about that too) and this machine has made over $200k in it's lifetime!ĭespite the pictures showing attract mode, the unit would not get beyond test mode when I arrived. but it makes my wife feel like I got a deal, and therefore, it's not as big of a deal. With that said, I don't plan on gettind rid of it. My understanding is the monitors are better, and there are more metallic pieces than plastic, which makes refurb'ing easier. the sides, which are plastic, rather than typical MDF w/ T-moulding is the dead tell. I enjoy narratives and assume some of you do. until this past Sunday, when I made the trip to Virginia to pick it up. They won't budge on price, why would you drive so far (220ish miles) for a half-working game? They were negotiable. The unit was still available, but an estate sale was taking place that day. Every time she opened her mouth, karma would return the favor. slow enough, my wife was sure it was already gone. How much? $400?!?!?Ĭommunication was slow at first. What's this? A twin unit? Left monitor isn't functioning. Then, while on a trip to see my in-laws, I got bored with the conversation of Passover dinner logistics and did a random search for "Daytona USA arcade" within a 150 mile radius of my home address. A stand-up unit, which is still on eBay if you search, for $800. I found a local-ish retailer with a single player unit.
How did I forget this one? This is what I needed. "DO DODO DO DODO DODO DO DOOOOOO DAAYYTONNAAAA." Then, in the process of my typical YouTube exploration, I came across a neat historical perspective of Daytona USA. But ultimately, I needed an original cabinet of some sort. I've even contemplated starting my own barcade. I ended up building my own RPi based multicade as a Makerspace project which currently resides in my classroom. Time Crisis, with the recoil action light gun, and the pedal actuator, which was so different for it's time. I remember knowing the Sub Zero's combos enough to the point that my 10 year old self would piss off most teenagers that were willing to give it a go. that deep voice bellowing out "Coming soon to Nintendo Ultra 64" in attract mode. Probably just another nostalgia-induced illness, reminding me days old, spending quarter after quarter at the boardwalk or in my local mall. So, I caught the arcade bug this past year.
