Very strange Golden Tee at the Auction
fredster:
I don't know if you guys play Golden Tee, but I have bought and sold several of these critters over the years.
I was at the Auction yesterday and I saw one like I have never seen one, because it was Mame'd.
It was one machine that had GT-3d, '97,'98,'99,2K and World Class bowling that was selectable with a "menu" button and trackball. Push the button, a menu that looked like the menu from ArcadeOS came up, select with the trackball, and then press the start button.
There was a single quater slot. Strange for any GT machine. The machine was not an upright, but a slanted machine and it had what looked to be a flat screen 17" monitor, not an arcade monitor. The graphics looked really good, beyond the standard CGA graphics on the older GT's.
When the system went down after it was unplugged and then plugged in again, I saw a video card graphic with 64 mb displayed and then "echo off".
Somebody had mamed GT and are actually selling them. It had a CP with scanned graphics, not the stickers you buy. The side graphics were on glossy paper that could have been printed on 8 1/2 x 11 glossy lable paper available at Office Max.
This is a problem. IT has more power than anybody in the Arcade world. GT is a huge game and has people betting and buying them all over. There are betting machines for this in Vegas. Big money in GT, very big money.
I played it. I've played GT for years and I've played about every one of these courses. It didn't act right. The trackball sensitivity was very different from the game sitting next to it. I have never seen a cab like this. It was like a tall cocktail with a 10 or 15

Unfortunatley I don't carry my digital camera to Arcade auctions. I am kinda busy doing business, and they kick a lot of people out with digital cameras.

Selling MAME goes against the MAME Liscense
