Hi Chris,

that DM monitor was losing it's monitor chassis.  All rebuilt the morning after your visit.  Thx for the heads up, and always, keep the comments coming.   

Yo,
Quick update on conditions down at Narrows.
Drummania 10th mix:
The monitor is on the fritz.  1/3 of the screen is not visible and has been squished down into the remaining 2/3.  It is hard to explain but in short there is some problem with the monitor which makes it difficult to see notes.
The hi-hat is also becoming loose and I would recommend tightening it before further damage occurs.

Guitarfreaks 11th mix:
1st player (left side) controller's red button is getting sticky.  As of yet no misnotes, but could use some loosening to fix problem before it happens.

Tekken 5:
2nd player (r) side's joystick isn't working properly.

DDR 5th Mix:
Was on the fritz; inoperable and monitor was only displaying a test pattern.  Probably just needed a power cycle but wanted to let you know because I don't like to go around pulling power cords out of machines.

That's all I had time to check out last night.  Looks like Narrows needs some love!

Hi Chris,
Thanks for phoning that in.  I see service was there Saturday night, and there was a coin mech jam.  Sorry you did not get some drumming action.

Hello Bill,
Long time no post.
When I was at Narrows on Saturday the 26th, multiple machines were eating quarters.  Among them, unfortunately, was DM10.
Called it in around 9:30 pm; problem persisted from 6 pm (but I don't think the front staff actually calls in the problems) according to out of order sign on machine. 
Betting one of your reps got to it by now, but wanted to make certain.
Best,
Chris

Will check that out when I go up there this morning.  Thx

Bill, can you please have Ghost Squad turned down just a bit? It's overpowering the volume of Extreme. Thanks

Bump because this arcade is still cool and has good pads

A lot.

More than just the PNW WMMT community could do, but that's not to say that you guys should give up. Just try and get more new people playing. Hell, if it wasn't so damn far to Narrows, I would get into MT3 pretty hardcore!

Oh, so there is hope! Uhm, if possible do you have an estimation of about how much more playing there would have to be?

In two words, hell yes!

Oh, yeah I know you guys had HoD4. I never played it because of the automatic guns. I'm talking about a really long time ago you guys had HoD2 where ITG2 is and stuff.

P.S.  Just out of sheer perseverance, if Max tune 3 had more business would there be a chance of 2 more machines?

WE used to have House of Dead 4 there.  I think it was too hard, as people turned away from it.  The original HOD is still tough to beat.  
Yes, the four linked up Cruisn games are still going strong.  Families and children especially enjoy that game.  

Will take a look at the monitor on Extreme, thanks for the FYI.

Hey bill, I was just curious but are those 4 racing machines next to Supernova actually doing well? I usually don't see people on them when I'm there.

Hey Bill the Extreme's screen is kinda blurry it would be nice if you can try to fix it thanks =)

carnevil :vomit:

Oh, sorry, let me rephrase. What I meant by shooting games were the pistol ones, for instance Time Crisis, that Vice Something game, Carnevil (Not pistol but super fun   )  and I think you guys used to have House of the Dead either 2 or 3. I'm glad you kept House of the Dead 1 in there, but it's getting kinda old and boring.     Do those games just not have many customers or something?

P.S I'm surprised that Max Tune 3 isn't getting much business. It's probably the most solid racing game in there.

Probaly no more Maxi Tunes.  Not doing all that great with the two.

Shooting games?  No less than before.  Removed the House of dead 4 when the new Jungle shooter arrived, and also added an Aliens shooter.  Am I missing something?

Hey Bill, do you know if you're ever going to get 2 more Max Tune 3 machines for 4 player races?


P.S. What happened to all the shooting games?

I mentioned this issue to the tech on duty from Masterman Vending when he came to the arcade on Sunday; a pity to see this problem persists  

IDV4 is ridiculously big, bright, and loud which is cool. the gameplay is 100% different (not a surprise) which sucks because it's like starting all over again. and it's $1.25 only played one game.

the seat on 1P, when you slide it all the way forward, it doesnt actually lock there, it drifts back a bit, making it like a huge stretch for me to reach everything. i should have played the other side to see if it did the same thing but there was a lot of people there and i need some proper alone time with that game.

DM hi-hat registers multiple hits when you hit it.

IDv3 works good.



oh and pump at paradise bowl works good too.

Damnit, why do I always leave when others are arriving?

I'll probably be going next week, or really whenever others are going. As I said in another thread, I'm in Seattle for orchestra rehearsals for the next 6 months worth of Saturdays, which really makes it possible to go to Narrows (1hr vs. 2hrs).

Chris, thanks for calling in.  The marquee lamp was going out, causing that problem.  All fixed, THX

Actually I believe I saw you playing Kevin.
I got there during your last stint at the least 100...if that was you.  You're definitely good; shoulda stayed and sessioned with me =P heh.

Bill, the GF11 needs some attention.  We called this issue in but to clarify; the screen is flickering and there is static on it; makes it very difficult to play accurately.
