I played the T2 at Dooly's this afternoon. It's 1 credit for 50 cents, 2 credits for 75 cents, or 3 credits for a dollar. 3-ball game, not sure about the other settings.

It's my first time seeing this machine, and it was very dark in the room, so I couldn't tell much about its condition. Seems like the playfield should be better lit. It was dirty but not worn out, mostly working ok. At least one strange behaviour though: sometimes shortly after starting a ball it would say "Don't Move" as if it had drained, but it hadn't... then shoot another ball.

Anyway I can see why people say it's no good as the only pin in your collection. Fun, but not super addictive. After a few games I set a high score and left 4 credits for the next person.

I'd like to play a nice shopped one sometime, in a room where I can see and hear it properly. Probably wouldn't buy it though.


Playable Now: Centaur II, Doctor Who, High Speed. Playable Soon: Breakshot, Sorcerer Later: Flash, Genie, Seawitch Fondly remembered: Firepower

I played a good 20 games on that T2 over a couple pints with a coworker on Friday night.  I had also never played one before and I enjoyed it.......  I like trying for the two ramps to get in to cyberdine (sp?) systems and then to the CPU where you get 5MM every time you hit the gun launch, the gun on the right side is fun too and the hurry up bonus is a real score booster...  Both sling shot plastics are broken but otherwise it was in good shape.  although dirty.  I really liked Arnold's commentary throughout the game...........Oh ya and replay is set at 19MM so we played a good 5 free games and matched a few times as well, good value.

Uncle Buck's now has a Ripley's and a The Shadow. Ripley's was fun, didn't get a chance with the Shadow, my pizza was getting cold.

Right on, I have to check out uncle bucks soon.  Was at Walkley bowling lanes tonight and they no longer have any pins - was a teed off there.  They have Tekken, Ridge Racer 1 seater, Buck Hunter and a two seater racing vid.

Found a Dirty Harry in the back of the Local Heroes on Bank Street. Gives 5 balls, and is setup properly. Has an error (dot) but don't know what it is. I got to the wizard mode (Crime Wave) on my second play. $1 for 3 credits. Fun game, why is it not in demand more? The only problem I found was that it was way to easy to start a mode (hence why I got to the wizard mode easily).
