So I saw an Ultracade machine at walmart....
ChadTower:
Because the owners won't care. They sunk capital into that machine and that machine is going to continue to be a stream of revenue for them. That's all they will care about. They may not buy any more but they're not going to dump an existing revenue stream because you're unhappy.

Seriously, you guys aren't getting that someone who at least has an interest in video games being around for a bit (the operator) put his hard earned money into purchasing that game. Now, just because the guy made a bad choice back THEN in light of what Foley is doing NOW doesn't make it the operator's fault, and if anything, paints the people who would do physical harm to the machine as brain dead.
Sorry for the harsh words, but it's not being grasped that when you see an Ultracade out and about, Foley has already gotten PAID for that machine!
You're no more hurting him than if you walked through the parking lot at the mall and keyed every Ford because you don't agree with them using plastic gas caps! ::)
Post the sign on the machine, speak to the op, take whatever civilized means you feel are necessary, but STOP telling everyone that you have/want to/will destroy the machine!
Use your flippin' HEADS! Let's say you had a party, everyone's playing your cabs, and you head upstairs to take care of something. You come back down, and someone's shattered the glass/plexi or poured a beer on your cab, rendering it useless. I bet you're glad they chose to demonstrate their protest to the manufacturer of your cab on the machine you spent your money on, hey?
I understand the joking nature of the posts, heck, mebbe I've even done it myself a time or two, but it doesn't help our cause AT ALL if someone maybe agrees with us, points a few people here who may not know, but wish to help, and they see crap like this!
In dealing with Ultracade and everything that IS Mr. Foley, it's the ONE area that SHOULD NOT joke around about solutions to making our feelings of him and his products known in an effort to slow/kill/shut down his business.

Ok you got me, all I really did was stand in front of it and complain to anyone that would listen. Im not really into wonton destruction of others property, i was really just joking around and agree with all of your comments to date.
It was a bad joke and I take it back. I'm sorry if I gave off the wrong impression. :angel:

Seriously, I think anyone standing around an Ultracade and complaining about it, even if it's to management of the particular establishment, is probably going to be viewed as a member of the tin-foil crowd or a big fat nerd at best.
;D
rchadd:
why would an operator who bought a ultracade care about what DF is doing regards mame?
he bought the machine from DF and presumably making money off it = happy
mame means nothing to operators.

But mentioning that some of the games may be illegally played in the system, say namco ones for example, would get their attention.
