Good news: after studiously watching Carl's son's vid, I can consistently get to the Refinery. Bad news: after studiously watching Carl's son's vid, I get beaten with a mailbox by the Refinery. Anyone got any tips? Also: New High for me: 14200 edit: ugh, I should really put a damn shirt on

Definitely attached. I just cant figure it out. Are there differences with the board? I could crack it open and check.

Well, it may have been at one point. See below: Strange SN for a Canadian or US Inty I, cant read anything off the foil. Just noticed this though, on the side... Serv. Date? Is this factory refurbished or serviced?

My mother in law makes those every time we are over for breakfast. nooooooooooooom

Update: Played a half hour more when my Minecraft server was down. Figured out the refinery! New High Score for me: 12800

No, just one 2609 with a weird SN. I was looking at the rest, and the only other ones starting with RH are PAL, and Ive never turned this one on. Lemme go try it now. EDIT: Doesnt turn on. Would a PAL unit power on with North American fed power?

The D2K Arcade comp has me pulling out my Inty Stuff. I have put in my SSA and my Intellivoice in, thus far. Due to something strange, I want to test my Inty I first.

WAAAAAAAAAANT. Whats the requirements for winning some of them? /gets back to playing.

So, at work, Im not used to getting bonuses from our client, a major phone company in Canada. Strangely, I was gifted a 50$ prepaid AMEX card for making a suggestion about how to make one of our tools at work better. Since this falls outside of my budget for this month, I was looking to get some gaming on, and decided that picking up the budget release of D2K Arcade so that I could take part in the high score competition. So, a few days after I make my payment, I get a wonderful package in the mail: First off, I am super impressed with the quality of materials in this package. As the thread states, these manuals could have some 'defects'. I think there is a tiny white spot on the manual. Im getting this game to play, and later to put on the shelf. Its gorgeous. Im not an overlay user, so while they are immaculate, they are going to stay that way, in a binder page. Secondly, I looked at the cartridge sticker and Im thinking 'Do I have a cart that this will fit that I can cannibalize?'. Nope, no duplicates of anything it would fit on (but now that I think of it, perhaps Carnival?) ... what to do... I looked at the poor, sad Skiing cart with the ripped, faded label that was sitting in front of me. Grabbing an exacto knife, I made myself a nice label for this cart, and will have to get an official cart at a later date this year. I took my trusty Sears Super Arcade upstairs, and hooked up the thing (found one of my switch boxes coax pin was broken. grr.) to my lovely HD TV. Sat down in front of the TV... immediately stood back up and got screen cleaner... I do not understand how my wife can watch TV on a screen that dirty. Sitting back down, I fired everything up. DAMN, this looks good. I was even very impressed with the look of the Elektronite logo on this thing. Just Damn. Lets try a few levels. Im going to admit, I wasnt taking pictures the first few times I played, because I wasnt going to try and get a 'high score' entry under the 7600 built in HS. And it was pretty terrible. I haven't played Donkey Kong in forever, and I had never seen Twisted Girders before, so this was kinda weird. I got rocked about a dozen times learning where and how to jump, getting 'controller'd' when I hit the wrong direction, and learning the oddities while getting a little frustrated. Then I realized that I couldn't figure out why I would die sometimes, with no apparent reason. I remembered reading something in the manual... yup, 30fps flicker needed. Oh look, more sprites. After I got everything down, I got my first two shots of Pie Factory: The first two times, I had one life when I got there, so this was problematic. The third time I got there with only one life again, but was able to get through. My first attempt at Barrels was terrible, and just barely made it onto the second platform when a barrel came down a ladder at my head. And a little later after that, I made it for the first time into the refinery, but I didnt know what I was doing so I lost my last life. That being said, this was also my best score, a whopping 10,100! That all said: Woot. This game rocks!
