I've been tempted to buy one of these but I read that they're super unreliable and prone to starting themselves on fire. Has anyone ever come up with a solution to make these monitors reliable? Are these for tech-heads only who want to deal with the repairs?

Keep a fire extinguisher handy is what I always heard.

:)

Here's a link with a little bit of info about each of the games. Nothing you probably didn't already know though.

Hey I actually sat in one of those... Star Trek. I bombed on my first try though.

Last I saw it, it was at a Chuck E Cheese in Ann Arbor and that giant pink castle has been turned into an auto shop about 15 years ago. Dunno what that building is now. :sad:

The Electrohome monitors are very unreliable, and they are prone to fires. Spare parts are a beast to find, I sold a complete but dead monitor to one for like 150.

I suppose its however passionate you are about the game. I know folks that trash them, and I know others that bow to them. All in what you like. Yes, they are headaches, but aren't most of the things you like? :)
