Hi all,

New to the board, added a marker. Looks like I'm the first Rhode Islander  8)

Always loved DK but never felt right playing it on MAME. I got a multicade machine in October. That also didn't really feel right. Finally got a pure DK machine about a month. Haven't touched the multicade machine since ;D My DK machine needs a little work. It's 100% playable but the speaker makes a buzzing noise (audio plays fine tho) and the joystick is a little loose. Also the screen jumps around a bunch when it first starts up (may need to be re-capped, not sure). I locks into place after about 10 minutes.

My current high score is 200k but getting better every week. I try to play at least an hour a night after the wife and kids go to bed  <Wiebe>

Awesome! Be sure to check out some streams and hang out in the chats.

Welcome aboard!  :)

Awesome!

Yeah I've played on several multicades before.  They definitely don't feel the same.  Your high score will improve in no time here. 

Dean Saglio and Eric Howard (DK players) are also from RI.  Dean may not have registered on the map and Eric I think retired from DK.

Thanks for the warm welcome  :D

Here's a pic of my game room/kids' playroom:



The 60-1 is fully reconditioned. Plays great, no issues with it. Got it from a CL guy in upstate NY who had a basement full of reconditioned 60-1 cabinets. The one I ended up with was the only one he had with a trackball  8)

The DK machine was another CL score from a couple right outside of Boston. I saw their CL post at work on a Friday, had some drinks that night and decided to send a drunken low-ball offer. Luckily they were moving to Arizona that week and were eager to sell it. Drunken low-ball offer accepted. Picked up the next day.

There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low
We couldn't greet you with a simple hello

Hey, Jumpman, I see that you're from Mason City, IA. I'm from Minneapolis. Let me know if you're ever swinging by the Twin Cities and I'd be more than willing to give you a tour of the town and/or show you the best Arcades. :)

That sounds good. I always look at Minneapolis cl for games, I will let you know when I come up there.

Lovit! With any luck, you won't be alone for long... classic gaming seems to be slowly spreading! New arcades seem to be opening up in Europe, so that is exciting!
