In Topic: My space Invader ceiling tiles....

I had some of these on the tiles at my last location but we moved recently (Game Grid Arcade at Valley Fair Mall, UT) and I decided to do wall mounting with them. I was originally going to use them silver as they came but then it was suggested we spray paint them red, which I did and I think the contrast worked out. I still have more art to put up in my new place so it's not finished but we are getting close.

Cool, thanks for the update. Yeah, the e-mail had a pic of it also -- big unit with a circular monitor and four 'stations' for each player. We're going to D&B tommorow after work for a company Christmas thing so I'll get to try it. Very eager. :)

It's definitely best played in groups. It's been interesting to watch it at my own arcade, I have the standard table version and while it started out slow, it's been a strong earner during the holidays.

This game has been out since January 2011 but the version that D&B has received is a new "Deluxe" version with a 54" monitor. Every D&B received one.

If you want to find a PMBR unit near you, just use their Facebook page:

or directly:

By that there are a few in PA but if you're in New Mexico, or the upper Midwest you're screwed. Although this only shows locations they know of, some operators are lazy and haven't told Namco about it.

Yes there have been a few issues with the coin door. I've been working with Taito to resolve them. I fixed one issue with coins getting stuck on the switch but we've had another where if people put coins in too fast they somehow manage to jam before reaching the mechanism. It hasn't been too frequent though and I've been there to keep an eye on it in case anything does happen so it's been under control. I think it would have been helpful if when they tested it they should have communicated with Taito with any problems, which is the whole point of a test in the first place to avoid problems down the road.

I've heard of a few people who only found out about the NJ loctest after it was over. I heard about it the week they removed the game from the Regal and tried spreading word through Twitter but it was too late. As such at the moment, I only know of my test unit in the US. But by the end of the year it will be for sale at least so hopefully someone near you will be able to get it.

I tried headphones once and it was pretty good. The canopy actually helps with the sound in the first place but with headphones it's that much better.

I'm personally still trying to get the counterburst timing down but I've gotten pretty good with the Fixed burst. I did manage to clear one of the 1cc levels in Chronicle Mode but with two more left in that star system, it's proving to be very tough.
