VCS nonworking left controller port

Wed May 9, 2012 3:49 PM

Hey, just discovered my VCS has a bad (loose?) left port. Did a Google search & didnt get anything but an extensive visual guide on paddle cleaning. At first I noticed no down on the controller so I wedged a twisty tie between the bottom of the port & the casing, now all directions dont work unless I pull up & back (toward me) on the controller plug.

I have the VCS Colecovision module, a 7800, & the PS2 Atari Anthology so Im not hurting. But I'd like to fix it if I could. I dont mind taking it apart & checking it out, minimal soldering if necessary but dont want to dive in too deep like pulling/replacing chips etc.

Any help from the knowledgable gang here would be great!!!

A co-worker told me about a pizza place near me that her son visited this past wkend. Mentioned some coinops, she named PacMan, Centipede, Donkey Kong. I didn't know what to expect but took the family there tonight for dinner. it occupies the corner of a strip mall, & one corner of the business is rounded out, which lo & behold has 9 coinops & 3 pinballs!

Centipede
Ms PacMan (had a menu screen w/ choice of several Pac games & Piranha)
Frogger
Mario Bros (NOT Super; the one w/ the creatures & multiple floors)
Galaga
Asteroids
Zaxxon
Donkey Kong
Dig Dug
Fish Tales ( broken?)
Gilligans Island

some of the cabs aren't authentic, but my kids got to see the glory of several together, until now they've just seen the 2 I have. "We" got high scores on Centipede, Mario Bros, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug. Granted the high scores were low to start with. I spoke extensively to the owner, about my age (40) it's been there 2 yrs. He contracted w/ a local amusement company, & wanted strictly 80s coinops ONLY. He said He may swap out Galaga for Paperboy soon. There's a monthly high score contest, for May it's Donkey Kong. I will definitely be back, maybe even as soon as this Fri on my day off.

My wife thought it was a bit slow for a weeknight, I thought a little interweb mention may drum up some biz for them- every little bit helps. Check it out if you live nearby, it's off Tamarack Rd/I-694 in Woodbury behind the Sheraton. Mon/Tues pizza buffet for $8 bucks!


PS2 TMNT Battle Nexus game save

Fri Apr 6, 2012 11:13 PM

I'd like to play the arcade game on my arcade cab setup, but dont have the time to play thru most of the horrible game (as I read in most reviews). Anyone out there would like to trade this save for a save, or poss. other similar payment, let me know.

Preferably you'd mail me the PS2 memcard w/ the save (w/ the arcade game unlocked obviously), I'd copy it to mine & mail your card right back. I have some extra cards if you'd rather send me yours, & get a blank one back.

THANKS!
