    Needs a catchy name though. You're half way there to getting a sizeable bank loan though.

    Am I right in thinking my our old Tekken 3 cab lives there now too?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,391 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    Actually I ended up giving that to Jack Burton . I was going to make that a MK2, but I ended up buying an original one then never got around to using yours. So passed it on to Jack. Token have that mortal kombat 2 now as well , sold them that and Tetris.


  • Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The MK2 is being reborn atm !

    Some of us managed to go in before the last A&R meetup.

    It's pretty nice. Tokens are reasonably priced, think they've got the price point right.

    Some of the machines are a bit old so aren't 100% perfect. Mario Kart was super acting up when I played it... also I had to play Ghosts and Goblins with my left hand on the buttons as the right hand buttons aren't terribly responsive.

    Ah! Thought you were saying we were in the sticks plus there's a place here called Stix/Sticks.
    Ah well, fun while it lasted


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭J_E


    I feel like the Pac Man machine is overclocked or otherwise running too fast - the fact that some of the mid-screen animations sort of mess up confirms this. Wonder if that could be fixed, it makes the game quite speedy and tough to play compared to a regular machine!

    I had the 77k high score but someone has topped it at 88k, becoming obsessed with beating it :mad:

    Maybe its running a 60-in-1 pcb ? Think there are a few speed hack versions on the those boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,784 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    True could be a Multiboard "PCB".

    I look forward to it, not sure on the price yet at 50c a go, will see how much i waste there.


    Depends on the game

    Do you think there'd be a regular speed version? I might bring it up with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,147 ✭✭✭CathalDublin


    It's totally possible they have the dip switch settings wrong, if it's a 60in1 anyway, I've never seen an original board but I'd imagine it's the same.
    Dip Sw 7 should be off. I have a couple of multigame boards though and the speeds are not always accurate to the originals.

    Just finished recessing the screws for the new metal CP tonight :cool:

    But I'm really excited about getting into Token. One of my mates in dublin was there last week and told me, and I quote, "You're going to loose your **** in there"

    That looks like it's better value to buy the 50 token/20euro option than the 120 token/50euro option... You'd be only gaining 10 tokens for every 100euro spent though.

    (If my maths are correct :pac: )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    You'd even be 2 tokens better off if you had €50 to spend, and bought 2 sets of 50, and one set of 22...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭geotrig


    I was wondering alright if they may be running 60-1s for some of the older boards ..it makes alot of business sense and in a way and could explain speed differences ..it could be just old boards repaired with different speed crystals as well though.

    Didn't make in there at all myself found it too late / early for me ,it wasn't open yet and i hadn't time to get to it when it did open . :( at least i know where it is now for when i'm up the next time .


  • Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm going later.
    really looking forward to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭here.from.day.1


    Was there last night, was pretty good but big queues/crowds around machines. So trying to get around, let alone get a game was difficult. Some of the problem was that there were quite a few ahem, stubborn, people going for high score runs that were hogging machines for a long time with loads of tokens. Suggestions for co-op were met with scoffs. :(

    Food looked great but unfortunately couldn't get a spot at a table. Staff were really nice, maybe expect one lass behind the bar that had issues with the card machine overcharging a couple of times. :pac: Pinball area definitely needs a bin more light, especially for the ones that barely illuminate themselves.

    Overall though the design of the place is cool, really liked all the signs and the green pipes in the bathroom! Met loads of nice people and nearly everyone seemed to be having a great time. Will be interesting to see how it balances out over time!
