Do not p-mail me for help compiling my updates, ask on the board. Do not request sound for your favorite game. I work on whatever, when I get around to it. If you have schematics for discrete sound games not easily found on the net, I would be interested. grog Reged: 09/06/11 Posts: 419 Send PM Re: gAme over [Re: Derrick Renaud] #283163 - 04/19/12 02:37 AM Reply > NINTENDO > > Though Cave was also a good answer. yeap, CAVE was a real good answer NINTENDO was what i was looking for indeed ... yaggy Coin-op fixer Reged: 01/23/05 Posts: 1162 Loc: Philadelphia Send PM Re: gAme over [Re: grog] #283207 - 04/19/12 04:01 PM Reply > > NINTENDO > > > > Though Cave was also a good answer. > > yeap, CAVE was a real good answer > > NINTENDO was what i was looking for indeed ... so why is nintendo different from the rest? i'm curious.

Didn't Taito start pretty much the same way? Or I think it was trading cards. Qun Mang Legend of Link Reged: 12/12/03 Posts: 746 Loc: Hidden Hyrulian city Lurkopolis Send PM Re: No one? [Re: Qun Mang] #283425 - 04/21/12 06:18 PM Reply Not that anyone seems to care, but if you *are* trying to figure it out, here's a hint: WHITE but not BLACK (colors, not races- move on...) LEFT but not RIGHT TALL but not SHORT FAT but not SKINNY THIN but not CHUBBY TEHKAN but not JALECO or any of the others listed Enough hints?

At least in the default font/type style. AEFHIKLMNTVWXYZ. The rest of the letters have curves like S, D, or O. Okay, done. Moving on now... Stiletto They're always after me Lucky ROMS!
