John, I gotta tell you, the part where you show how to get through the high jump on TAF has helped me sooooooo much ! And I suspect that many other people who were struggling in that part of the game will too. A million thanks for that. Now I've got to go and apply this new knowledge playing MAME. Maybe you should do some dedicated "how to best play those awesome games" videos ? I don't know... Anyway, I really enjoy the "new format", you know, you in front of the camera now, the wobbly table, the drinks, the self-cameraman, the jam-packed fun ! Your videos are getting better all the time. Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends !

On T&F, the long jump, you want to get a 42 on the line. I can't remember if you have to hit the line twice in a row or not but this will max your jump out at a 9.72. On the hammer throw I used to never look at the speed bar. I just listened to the swings and on the 9th swing I went for it. You want to get a 45 down the side lines. If you do this on the 1st side line or the right side then you usually get a 99.XX. If you get a 45 on the let side line then you could max out the throw at a 99.99 and possibly throw it over 100.00. However, it won't register over 100 but will give you like a .44 or so. I used to play T&F all the time back in 1984. I also think the correct angle for the Javelin is 42 and it's possible to throw it over 100 as well.

Congrats on getting your first Rock-Ola cabinet. I've got an Eyes and Warp-Warp that I need to restore. It's interesting that Rock-Ola changed up the instructions on their games. Like you pointed out, Jump Bug has the instructions on the CPO, while games like Eyes have it on the marquee itself. Anyway, enjoy the game! Also, does that Warp-Warp marquee have a big crack in it? I was going to say that I'm looking for a Warp-Warp marquee if you want to sell it. Have fun with the game! -jimbodeanny

Thanks for the T&F tips on the high jump. That part has mystified me forever. I have Groovy Game Gear micro switches on my MAME cab, but I'm wondering if the keystrokes are impossible to register fast enough to match the actual arcade because I can't come close to matching the speeds people seem to get on the events. I know leaf switches would be better, but whatever. Also, it seems MAME doesn't require you to go back and forth between the run buttons like the arcade. In MAME, I do much better by hitting one run button or both run buttons simultaneously.

My girlfriend is a bit skeptical about it how many times I will l play on it, but that's fine I will proof her wrong :p I have one question: what is you opinion in how to place/mount the monitor? Should I place the monitor (yes, it's an CRT) in a horizontal or vertical position? I'm using my old 22" IIyama so its a bit to heavy to make it adjustable (a rotating mechanism) for every game. Thank You for the video's, I love to watch them and as always: keep up the good (video) work. A Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year to you and the rest of the family.

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Hitting run during the Long Jump does nothing. It helps on the Javelin. Hard to notice but it helps. Nothing on Hammer. and it totally helps on the High Jump. I've heard 2.45 on HJ is possible without hitting run. I've only tried a couple times but it seemed very hard at 2.41-2.42. Hitting run I can do 2.51.
