I am aware of none driving around a ferrari eheh so personally I don't see it as greed but as survival. Back in the day, the competition was fierce and the $$$ investment you put in had to bring in the coin and fast. People here of the big success stories but I'd like to remind you there are thousands of arcade games and only a fraction of those were ever big money earners. For every big hit like Pacman, DK, Space Invaders, Frogger, etc, there are dozens of very good games that did decent business but didn't bring home the bacon, well except for maybe those 3-4 magical years of the early 80's where the arcades were constantly filled with arcade nutballs like me :). So true...I mentioned the one I know a few times here already and he's still going at it. I would say he's doing "ok" , by no means making a fortune. He *had* an account at a college bar where he put a shitty Golden Tee conversion that made him some good profit for a while (think that was a 60-40 split) He eventually lost the account because the owner wanted the newest Golden Tee version available each year. He didn't have the cash flow to pull that move; I guess the next new operator did... Of course I would love to route games in the golden age but two games stuck out to me in that Jamma era that were killing the coin counters for months on end. The two games were Double Dragon and the first Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's the worst era (I'd say that's nowadays) and I can't say that TMNT is bad (I've never played it), but holy shit Double Dragon Arcade is awful, it might be the worst game I've ever played. But hey, at least the music's great. Edited August 10, 2020 by Magmavision2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate though that would be, I can see how that could happen. By the way, there's this really awesome function that the forum has. It's called a 'blog'. Perhaps you've heard of them. Anyway, if you go up to the 'Apps' menu at the top of the page, click on it, and then click on 'Blogs' on the drop-down menu that appears, you'll be taken to another page with a big orange button that reads 'Create a blog'. You should totally start a blog all about how awesome November's going to be. That way we can all read about it in one place instead of having to keep checking the thread. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I love seeing people discuss this game on Discord thinking that the owner has said they’re going to release the rom in November based solely on the insistence of one forum poster in this thread who has no actual evidence of this plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 He could always ask over on Mameworld. The devs who hang out there really love these kinds of questions. And by "the devs who hang out there really love these kinds of questions," I mean, "we're being a hell of a lot nicer about this than they would." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Let's remember that our colleague is only 13 (IIRC), so do cut him some slack. Young folks brimming with enthusiasm may not always perfectly execute every rule of decorum or "read the room" correctly. But they're the force that infuses a scene -- any scene -- with new energy. Without that, it becomes a bunch of old men grumbling at each other about how much better things used to be. And the surest way to stay young in spirit as you get older is to stay inspired by the energy of youth. If you know any people over 70 who still have that light in their eyes (and you know the light I mean), they usually appreciate the young and feel uplifted by their energy, rather than resenting it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
