Eugene refused to play Robotron on his MAME cab with a 27" D9200 monitor, saying "It's just not right". :) --- End quote --- Its not the D9200 monitor or mame, but that your friend probably didn't have a pair of wico leafswitch joysticks. It just aint the same without a pair of those red ball top leafswitch sticks. |

However, he did specifically mention that the the 27" monitor was too large and didn't look right. Many true Robotron fans actually prefer a 19" screen, there is too much happening on the screen to take it all in on a 27" when you are standing that close to it. |

The "Williams Arcade Classics" CD has a bunch of interviews (text and videos), and it has some with Jarvis. I liked his attitude in those. He seemed like a "krazy kat". ;) |

Then go play it on the average Ultracade (27" display and Happ supers). My scores are more than triple at home with Wicos and a standard sized display. |
