Running

Yay I got to play the game! The first thing I noticed while playing is that the game has some slight slowdown when there is a lot going on. That is interesting because I've never encountered this slowdown when using the MAME or Xbox 360 version of the game. That totally affects the difficulty. I'll have to test this on another arcade machine.

The game constantly uses 150 watts. That's important to know.

The new adjusted task list is:

• Use red spray paint for the side art
• Install T-molding
• Install the new marquee when it comes in the mail
• Install the new monitor when it comes in the mail

That's right, I've got a new monitor on order. The old monitor works, but it's too blurry and distorted for me. I ended up mistaking some robots for humans, trying to save them, and dying. Oh, the blurriness has nothing to do with the moving "W" circles in the previous picture. Those are just animating circles.

There is no glass bezel available for sale now. I'll live with the old bezel for now, it's not that bad. But by looking at it up close, it's easy to notice all the scratches and chipped paint.
