New 4-1 Wallcades from HSN : Pac-Man and Centipede
« on: July 06, 2020, 02:20:05 pm »
Pac-Man will have Dig Dug (which might be able to be transplanted to a 3/4 cabinet).
Centipede will also have Liberator, and I will be getting this one.

footage of pac-man partycade :


the pac-man partycade, includes the American or easier settings for Dig Dug,

extra man at 10k/40k/ and every 40k after:

That was the same as the cocktail version.



Compared to the countercade, which was 5 man only, extra at 10k/60k.

Just unboxed and tested out.

Was ready to report back, with a detailed review.

1 WORD Says it all : JUNK

The trackball is stiff and unusable. Yes, I will lubricate it to make it somewhat

useable, but out of the box, it barely moves. Thus you cannot play the games.

Save your money, you have been WARNED.

Yes, I've already ordered a professional grade arcade trackball as a replacement.

Bummer dude.

Read the follow up here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,163570.0.html

Basically took it apart, and lubricated it. Now Centipede and Millipede are playable.
Got 200k in centipede and 350k+ in Millipede, and ok scores in Liberator and Missile Command.

Ordered Glens trackball, because the software does not compensate for the different settings, and glens
is more sensitive.

bought the centipede countercade for $100 for a friend.

replaced the trackball, because its terrible.


hit 1,000,000 (ok, 999,524) and quit.





the blotch on the screen bottom, is a piece of tape to mark the killspot for spiders,
so i don't forget.. i took it off after the game was over.

follow up on the partycade centipede, replaced trackball with glens:


what a difference, I couldn't break 200k most times with the stock one, and then

the last two games with the replacement:

 

 

 

 

 

521k

 


 

 

NOTE : Piece of tape on screen, is the killzone spot, due to glare.

Put the trackball on green colored glow.

 

995k
