I was curious if people noticed issues with certain games that were otherwise 100% working, but might have had some QUIRKS after getting hundreds of plays.
I started this thread just so myself and others could tighten up games that they had on the floor and got a fair bit of use that they don't normally get at home. If my game had a problem - I want to know so I can squash the bugs in my machine. I thought others might want the same.
This is NOT for the games that had to go to sickbay - but those that stayed on the floor and maybe a pinball mode didn't work, or a button or stick was "iffy", or started to develop a slight monitor issue that wasn't significant enough to get pulled, etc.
This is also NOT to FLAME or COMPLAIN about people's games - just to give notice to those that had games on the floor that they might need to adjust or fix some things once they get back in the game room, so that they have optimal play again. I am sure everyone brought fully working, great games - but we all know - once STRANGERS start playing them - that's when they start to act up
For instance, I noticed on my games:
- Time Crisis 2's monitor had too much blue in the pic when warm. May need adjust color / replace caps.
- Blast City Candy Cab had a loose video cable that would omit "red".
On others - I noticed the following:
- Theatre of Magic 's multi-ball was dumping balls straight into the right outlane. Also, could not hit the trunk from the right flipper at all.
- Star Trek (new one) would get a ball stuck around the bumper area about 10% of the time. Had to bump the machine hard enough to trigger a TILT before it would get dislodged. Almost certainly a design flaw and no fault of the owner.
- Twilight Zone would often get the ball stuck on the skill shot.
