I played the trial, then just went ahead and bought it. Seems like a decent game.

looks neat but I think I'll wait for Steam to greenlight the PC version.

Hey Ginsu, you should check out my review of the game over at the Hyperspin forums.

I tried the demo and bought it right away. For only 240 Microsoft Monies It's quite fun.

I was rolling in quarters by 1983 but the game crashed with an error code 4. I guess it's a bug the dev's are addressing http://firebase.ca/ (http://firebase.ca/).

The game is super fast paced at that point. I wanted to examine each new machine as I bought them but the game doesn't seem to pause when you view their details and I kept getting unruly customers smashing up machines in the background. Being able to control how fast time passes would be nice, but I guess that would mess up the quarter collecting game mechanic. 

I guess the video game crash of '84 comes into play and I'm looking forward to see what happens with that.  It's in the indie game market so they've said there will be updates to it...sweet.

I found a neat way to get rid of those kids abusing the machines. 

Pick up a cab and squish em.  >:D

$100 for a busted joystick?

Where do they get these prices from?  :lol

Great game specially when you can turn the sound down.  :applaud:
