Either at work on my PC or on my flat screen with my PS4 when I am at home.

That could be true I have to look into it a bit. I may actually make a trip to the bowling alley in town just to see if I'm doing everything right on their pac man.

Recently I've been looking into the patterns for pac-man to get a perfect pac-man score. Obviously its going to take practice beyond belief. In any event, for some reason when I play pac on MAME it seems like the pattern does not work at all. Even the simplest pattern on the cherry stage the ghosts just don't seem to be there. Am I going crazy, am I subconsciously doing the pattern wrong an I am not realizing it, or is it different on the emulator? (which I was doubting) Let me know what you guys know.. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips man. I got a buddy who just lucked out and picked up a pretty turn key Arch Rivals cab for $100 from his local bar. Hopefully I can stumble onto something like that myself one of these days.

Welcome. I am really new to the hobby. I have always been an arcade gamer, just waiting for the right for my first cabinet. You have a pretty neat website. I'll be sure to check it out regularly.

Towards the end of listening right now. A lot of facts are made for sure. I just guess I don't like the way Dwayne comes off. Clearly things were omitted from King of Kong, but the extent that Dwayne goes to is excessive. He seems hell bent on destroying Bill and Walter. Tim should have definitely been involved. I don't think Bill or Steve really cheated with their scores or anything like that. My biggest problem is just how Dwayne is just saying "I've been around for X amount of years and you can't compare to what I know. So I'm right" Type of attitude. That is my only hang up. If he presented it in a more humble manner I may be a little more lenient. So I do agree that there is some truth to it John. I just feel like Dwayne comes off as an ass at times.  

Awesome! I'm gonna go look it up now. Over the course of the morning I did a little more reading, and I saw that it looks more like the filmmakers covered up Tim's score to begin with making it seem like Steve's first record beat Billy's 1982 record. At first I thought he was trying to come off saying Steve's records are all lies in general. Looking forward to listening to the interview to hear more. Thanks!

New video by the way. Work in progress with everything, but I am open to critique and want to make a better product as I go so any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Alright awesome. I will be sure to do so if I find something I want to buy. Thanks!

Hey Guys. I wanted to reach out and see what everyone's insight is on this topic. This could have already been talked about on here ad nauseam. (relatively new to the forum) Anyway a couple years ago I watched the documentary King of Kong for the first time, and was thoroughly entertained. I eventually picked it up at a video store going out of business for next to nothing, and when I'm really bored I'll pop it in from time to time. In any event, recently googling/youtubing the topic, I've come across Dwayne Richard's videos King of Con and there are a few other ones. They discredit the film saying it is all lies and the record really belongs to a Tim Sczerby. The Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe conflict in the film was fabricated according to his claims. This was a film I really liked, so at first I was really troubled seeing this, since I really liked Steve in the film and was bothered by the fact that it may all be a lie. Is there any truth to Dwayne Richard's claims? Any insight on this would be awesome. Thanks!!   

Joust would be really fun too. I think my biggest thing is I'm not 100% sure what things are worth so I don't want to overpay since I am fairly new to collecting arcade games.

Actually the more and more I think about it I really like the Atari System 1 & 2 games. Especially APB and Marble Madness. It would be cool to get my hands on one of those. I also really like Batman arcade from 1990.

Haha. I guess that leaves me open to anything. I really like vector games, but I saw a Tempest on craigs in South Jersey they wanted $1k which I thought was extremely high. I would not be opposed to a Nintendo playchoice either. I'm really open to anything. I like most arcade games. I'd get anything, but a fighter, unless it was MK3 cause I love that game. The way I look at it, I can play a fighter on a console. I guess I would not mind a ladybug either.

Look up Wilmington Amusements and give them a call.  He's got a warehouse full of pins and cabs and might be able to help you find whatever you're looking for.

Thanks! That is a good idea. Even if I can't buy anything it might be worth shooting him a call to see if I can shoot a video there for my channel.

Hey guys,

Just wondering what were some of your first cabinets. I want to potentially buy one in the new year. I'm trying to figure out what would be a good game as far as price, and reliability. I am open to having to do repairs if I have to, so I guess something easy to work on so that I can learn with it. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks
