It's based in Hong Kong, so keep that in mind (love the photos of their tech support people  :laugh2: )

Looks like an awesome price on that coin validator too.  $20 shipped.  Too bad they don't have any more standard over/under type doors that accept US coins.

Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.   :scared

I'll let you off because you haven't been here all that long, but take it from a long time member of this site, I know an advertiser when I see one. He's joined to get his website some presence (or a friends). I doubt he'll ever post here again. Or if he does, it'll be just long enough to make it seem like I an paranoid  ;D

Wait you're calling me a salesperson? HA that's a laugh. I joined this site because I just bought a single player Time Crisis II in Pennsylvania, half way across the world from Hong Kong. And was curious if this gun was legit because it's like quarter of the price that Suzo Happ sells it for.

Well, the decent, and somewhat vernacular, english seems pretty definitive.

Don't worry about it.  Most of the "long time members" of this site are grumpy old men.  They whine about everything but give good advice, if they are in a good mood, which coincides with getting an extra viagra pill in their monthly supply.

It's unfortunate you feel that way -- but I understand your sentiment.

I wouldn't say "most" however. Some, certainly.  A very vocal minority, yes.  Most of us are just old men, without the grumpy.

... Of course, I haven't been in the "Politics n' Religion" board in a very, very long time... so I could be very, very wrong about that.  ;D

Well I apologize for actually speaking well, as well as not being old since I'm 26. But it just seemed that this would be the best place to get some answer I need for my new TCII machine.

You would actually be better off at the klov.com / arcade museum forums. These forums are more dedicated to kludging together your own custom arcade machines and controls while those forums are most definitely aimed at real machines.

My appearance, physical ability, and sexual prowess attest I am not in that camp.  My stern- and oddness come from real life eccentricity.

A wise man once said the vast majority of blanket statements are false.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
