I always used a pencil too,. but I seemed to break them often. In the end, it always came down to slamming the CP as hard fast as you could. You could always hear when someone was playing T&F from the smacking on the CP.

you got it....  much easier than hitting the buttons, unless you happen to have a large plastic comb.    ;D


(only the old farts will get that one)

we used to pull our sleeves over our hands and rub back n fore between the 2 buttons giving awesome friction burns

I don't think it was a later version of the game, I think it was an addon package sold later, not an official Centuri part.  You can see on the CP there is no art or text that looks like T&F or the Centuri brand name, but on all the known original CPO's (upright and cocktail) the brand name is displayed clearly.

This is the version I played and loved. I wasn't good at the button version. Mame doesn't emulate the trackball version of this game, which is all well and good I suppose. I wouldn't have dual 2.25" trackballs on my control panel anyhow.

And if it's a hardware add on with no ROM changes, I doubt mame will.  :(  Anybody know if there was or wasn't rom differences?

Well, I'm disappointed. :hissy: Maybe because I do have a dual 3" TB CP. ;D
