I think I now understand how things work over there. If a game can be fixed in a day, Joe knocks it out. If it's not an easy fix, then Joe leaves a detailed note ("It's broke!") and lets Ron handle it! Nice system!

@WreckDiver99 Год назад

Joe...that's a BIG NO on the garbage man. I'll toss things out at the gas station, or any place that has an outdoor garbage can, but I would NEVER in my life say "hey, lets go in this store and throw away the garbage I've been collecting". NOPE...ESPECIALLY if that meant needing to traverse half the shop, and going behind the counter to do it. That's a guy you need to say "Sir, this is a store, not a place to throw away your trash". Looks like the hot snot pushed the chips out. Gotta love the easy ones though. I remember this game, wasn't in my top 10, but I played it on occasion back in the day. OH...I also had the "clone" of the game for the Sanyo MBC555-2 Computer....it was called "DEMON SEED".

@mikeprice2311 Год назад

The trash thing is weird but I wouldn't discourage it. It's marginally better than just throwing it out of the car window, which is what people do round my way.

Joe. When I was a kid, I always thought of these arcade machines as incredibly high tech, but when you open and look at them, they all look mostly like my dad's extra parts from.his 1970's correspondence TV repair class! In any case, great work as always!

Cheers boys. Makes me kind of happy that a shop like yours is as busy as it is in this day and age. Cool game too, about a decade before my time, but looks great and a strangely haunting soundtrack. 10/10, would watch Ronnie get carried away and bump the camera again.

@JacGoudsmit Год назад

Sounds like you have some video signal interference in the audio. Also, if those colors are that much out of wack, there's probably something wrong with the built in Degauss coil or its circuitry. And by the way that little cardboard cover for the plug that Joe is taking about, was right there in the machine. But I'm sure you guys noticed that 🙂 Thanks for posting guys!

@senilyDeluxe Год назад

AFAIK all Phoenixes have video interference in the audio. And the cocktail table had a degauss push button built in on the right near the power supply, this machine has manual degauss.

@sethreichenbach1444 Год назад

Thank you for another great video. The first video game console that we had was a Coleco Vision. Then we got an Atari 5200. I never noticed any problem with the controllers either some of my favorite games for the 5200 are Kangaroo, Gorf, Blueprint, Super Breakout, and Star Trek.

Nice to hear from you, Joe! I don't think I've ever seen a Phoenix game before, even back in the day. Nice little game here. The fella could have spent more to shoe-shine it up but I'd still love this as-is anyway. Ronnie: I don't know what video you said this in, but I thought it was interesting. Something like "These old games make all kinds of hums and buzzes, and it's hard to say what they sounded like new because when they were new they were in loud, noisy arcades and locations. But now people expect them to be perfectly silent in their living room, and that's probably not realistic."

@roneckler9937 Год назад

lol, I would put a sign on the front door stating that if they would like to use the trash, it will cost them $1.00 per item unless they buy something first. My dad work on the classic video games too. That is where I learned how to repair electronics. When it came to the cocktail games, I always had to play the two player to make sure both sides worked equally. I am sure you did, it just wasn't on the video. The chips that were not seated properly was always caused from people using them like a pinball machine, or even when the owners move them around. They usually get dropped, which causes the chips to work loose. I would have to put silicone under the chips to make sure they wouldn't come loose from abuse. Awesome game though. My favorite was Popeye the cocktail version. Have a good day! Oh, Tell Joe to smile more... lol

The only problem with putting up signs is people don't read!

@roneckler9937 Год назад

I pumped plenty of quarters into one of those in the hotel up the street. And a Moon Cresta that sat next to it.

We tend to gravitate towards the first game we ever encountered. A Ferrite isolator might eliminate that hum you showed, earlier. I did have a lot of of fun with this game on consoles, and played a real one, back in the 80s. Had no idea there was a cocktail table version. Thanks for sharing. :)

@3vi1J Год назад

Such a classic game. The first arcade game I saw as a kid was Breakout (had seen pong at home), but when I think of the earliest and coolest games I played in the arcade.... Phoenix is top 10. I thought it was going to a much tougher diagnostics slough, but you seem to have homed in on it immediately. Wonderful to see it fixed without a LCD conversion too! Great job all around.

@BaccarWozat Год назад

The cocktail cabinet is by SNK, which is interesting. Phoenix was released in different countries by Taito, Centuri and Amstar, but usually they took care of the cocktail cabinets themselves. Also, nobody seems to know the name of the "smaller Japanese developer" who originally developed the game. TPN licensed it to Taito in Japan, but TPN also made bootlegs of the game. Hiraoka licensed it to Amstar, which was located in Phoenix, Arizona, and may explain the name of the game. Or not.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Nobody reads signs unfortunately. We have a sign on one of our locked doors that says "Other door, please!" pointing towards the other door, people come up all the time, try to open the door, can't, and get back in their car and leave. Then they come back later and say we are always closed.

@DanZero77 Год назад

The Taito Corporation copyright indicates this is the Japanese version of Phoenix! This also appeared on the Taito Legends compilation possibly because they had the rights to it at the time. Although the SNK on the cabinet and on the bottom plate is odd perhaps maybe they manufactured the cocktail version in Japan.

@PlumGurly Год назад

I think the humming is coming from the logic on the game board. Older computers did that a lot where the display controller would bleed into the sound. Unless you need capacitors, I don't think much else can be done.

@Renville80 19 дней назад

I agree the plug was probably fine except for the missing piece (which is a special material called 'fish paper' - it's the same material you occasionally see covering electrical parts like CRT neck boards). Still, replacing it with a more modern one was a good move. Edit: Looks like the missing part of the old plug is trapped under the CRT degauss coil at 10:30.

Garbage can? Some people suck. My brother worked in a music store and a guy came in with his little kids running around, the youngest in just a diaper and shirt. Apparently the kid crapped himself and it fell out of the diaper. The other kids laughing about it while dad nonchalantly looking through a catalog at the counter, asks my brother for a paper towel. My brother hands him one. The guy walks over and picks up the turds with the napkin, goes back to the counter and tosses the turds and napkin over the counter, past my brother's head and into the can behind the counter, then without batting an eye continues to look at the catalog like this was normal 😂. He got kicked out to say the least LMAO.

I know someone who had a Galaga cabinet with a bootleg board set (no developer name on the screen like Phoenix and the name is displayed as Gallag). Also, I can't help but wonder if Phoenix was the direct inspiration for Galaxian / Galaga, as well as the mothership battle in Gorf.
