Interesting Puckman clone by Falcon on KLOV
#320017 - 01/09/14 04:45 AM


Don't recognise this one - it appears to be a Puckman clone made by Falcon. On the screen to select the number of players, it refers to a bonus 'Buckman' rather than 'Puckman'.

Anyone familiar with this one? A quick browse of the source didn't turn up anything that looked close; not at home right now so can't check against supported sets.

The way everything gets whited out I guess because I haven't registered and logged in or taken a gay survey is so annoying that I am less than 1 inch away from deleting your post and adding that forum url to the banned words list.

No clue, but that's awesome cabinet art!

Or just use Ghostery plugin - far simpler and more controllable than hostfile maintenance.

I'll check that out but it certainly shouldn't be a requirement to people reading our site. This (attachment) is what that shithole of a site looks like with no fancy blocking plugin.

Fair enough. Main KLOV site is a load of shit anyway, all the "Japanese titles" that are just the English titles rendered in katakana, games that don't exist listed so they can increase the number of games they boast about having in their database, etc.

Also, Ghostery sees no need to block anything on this forum, which is a welcome change from most of the web

Yep. That did the trick.

I use Firefox and Adblock Plus. I hit "open blockable items", then put survey.g.doubleclick.net in the filter to narrow it down. Then I right-clicked on one of the items and created a blocking rule.

Weird; dunno what to tell you on that one. The original link was viewed in Firefox 26 with both Ghostery and Adblock Edge enabled and there was no login requirement, whiting-out, etc.; I just restarted with all add-ons disabled, and it looked exactly the same. Note that in both cases I was using Private Browsing and was not logged in to the site, so the cache, cookies, etc. were clean.

I wonder if they were pushing down something last night that was causing this, or are doing a Google and randomly sending certain users different content to others.

Well I just installed those plugins and now it views correctly so thanks for that.

I scanned the bezel for that cabinet a couple months ago.

http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/sho...part=1&vc=1

Its possible this is the same cabinet as the one I scanned. I'll have to contact my provider. He may have sold it away.
If he still has his, I'll see if it also fires up as "buckman"
