1, 2009 - One step closer to completing my Donkey Kong trilogy!
I cannot tell you how relieved I am to be done with this damn
restore!!!! I think I have about 40hrs. total in this cabinet,
if not more. There is something to be said about spending a
little more and doing less. There isn't a piece in this cabinet
that I didn't touch, repaint, replace, or polish. This thing
was infested with mice when I got it and now it's a pristine
gem. It's minty.
Hey John!
I can't wait to see you put together that DK3. It's going to be great to
see your Nintendo row. Now all you need is Super Punch-out! =)
Hey, just letting you know I put a couple of videos up on my site and if
you could update my link on your site, that would be great.
Thanks man!
Jess

Thanks for your video response in You Tube. Nice video!
Yes, this game is kind of Atari Star Raiders. And Namco was the company which sold Atari games for Japan market. It seems that you do not completely understand how to play the game. Here it is: PURPOSE OF ADVENTURE MODE: Find the 'Dark Planet' and destroy it. MAP: SELECT button to open map, move cursor and hit A button to jump. E=Enemy, *=Planet, B=Base, #=Asteroids. In Adventure mode, you can fire photon torpedoes by B button for long range attack. It can destroy an enemy unit with 4 to 8 hits, but number is limited. COMBAT: D-pad to turn, A to thrust, B to fire beam. Primary use horizontal turns and thurusting, and use vertical turns just for aiming purpose. There are 3 types of enemy units: Cyan: weak, Gray: medium, Purple: strong. IMPORTANT: You can have only two beams on screen at once. If you fire third beam when you have two beams on screen, 1st beam disappears to have 3rd one on screen. Thus, you can not hit far enemy. DO NOT TAP B BUTTON TOO RAPIDLY! FINDING BASE/PLANET: 1st, turn obliquely to find a blip. 2nd, turn horizontally so that bilp moves to just above of center of the radar. 3rd, thurust with A button and make blip close to the center of the radar. 4th, turn upward or downward so that blip moves upward. If blip moves very little when you turn vertially, stop turning. 5th, thurust with A button and you should see base/planet. In Adventure mode, you can get power ups at bases. Visit all bases so that you can get all types of power ups. GETTING A 'KEY' (Adventure mode only): When you destroy an enemy unit (without using photons), you get a right to get a 'key'. Then visit a planet and you can get a 'key'. Each of 7 planets have a unique key, you must correct all keys. If one of those planet is destroyed before you get the key from it, you are no longer able to complete adventure mode. But a planet is destroyed after you get the key from it, it is no problem. FINDING THE DARK PLANET (Adventure mode only): You can not get a key from cyan planet. But this planet is the 'door' to the dark planet. Once after you collect all 7 keys, visit the cyan planet. Players often call this planet 'Earth'. And open map, you see a flashing blip. Move cursor carefully so that it points exactly on the blip, an error of 1 pixel is not allowed. And jump, you finally enter the area around the 'dark planet'! Dark planet appears in the area after you destroyed some enemies. But because dark planet does not move, you must find it by using same method to find base/planet. TIP: A important thing to complete the adventure mode is to find good map. Maps are randomly generated, and sadly, it is very difficult to complete the game in most of maps. Restart the game again and again to find a good map. But even with a good map, it is still difficult to complete the game. But it is a great fun to challenge it if you understand the game completely! GOOD LUCK!

Bill, contact Bob Roberts about the cap kit for your Popeye. I didn't cap
mine. The monitor on mine was great already.
Bob's website is here: http://www.therealbobroberts.net/
Bill 25 Jun 2009, 12:07
Hey what cap kit did you use for the Popeye cocktail? Was the make of the
monitor in the Popeye a Sanyo 18-z2ab? Did you use a regular Sanyo Cap kit?
My monitor is doing the jailbars and black screen. I can see a little
movement and the game is definitely working. When I hooked up a regular
Sanyo 19 monitor the picture is fine....

You have GOT to get that Radarscope finished! With the Tent, Punch-Out, WB
Mario..........The garage will be the Owl's Nest! Woot!
Tom 23 Jun 2009, 18:13
John can I buy the chip off of you for the Punch-Out!!
John 21 Jun 2009, 21:13
I used Rustoleum Satin Finish paint for my Punch-Out!! It's oil based. I
thinned it with Acetone and put six coats on!
Bill 21 Jun 2009, 12:57
John what kind of paint did you use on the Punch-Out?

John,
I am a loyal videogameoutsiders listener. I also have a dedicated Punch-Out!! machine! How did you get that awesome freeplay with the attract mode going? I would love to have it running without the potential screen burn. Here is a link to my machine. I still have a little work left to do : ) <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i635.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid635.photobucket. com/albums/uu80/xtommyboy22x/Punch-Out_Bridal_Shower.flv">

I searched "john's arcade" (without quotes) on Google and you are #1 of
half a million. Good job. Get working on Yahoo!, since you are at the
bottom of the first page there.
Now I've forgotten why I was visiting your page . . .

I had that same watch when I was in kindergarden (16 years ago). It was
shortly after super mario bros came out.
