I baught an arcade Mortal Kombat... help me fix it!!!![views:4987][posts:13]______________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 1:35am - Joshtruction ""] Player ones low punch button doesn't work. Anyone here ever fix an old stand up video game before? I am sure I got the skills for it but would like a heads up from anyone that has ever been in one of these. Once I fix that I am going to throw in a nicer and bigger flat screen. The original screens on these are terrible. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 12:40pm - Joshtruction ""] Some random guy was walking around the local arcade asking people if they wanted it for a 100 bucks. I figured the deal was too good to be true. I went there and sure enough it was legit. One low punch button away from being perfect. It is missing the key, but it is set to free play anyways. I can now make it to Shang Tsung on one credit, and beat him in like 2. I guess I still have SOME of my skills. I used to be able to beat the game like 3 times on a quarter. This has me so motivated I want to start looking for MKIII or a trilogy machine. If we ever get this MK tournament going I might be able to bring the stand up haha. |
