I purchased my Megatouch from a vendor on eBay. I paid far
less than the average going rate for comparable machines so
I expected the machine might need some love. The machine worked
fine when it came in much to my surprise. I took it home,
opened it up, and it was fairly obvious it had spent its entire
life in a bar. I took it completely apart. I cleaned all the
tar off of every part, it was disgusting. I also decided to
paint the bottom silver. Megatouch made a model with a silver
bottom and I thought it looked much nicer than the standard
electric blue on the Radion models. I also decided to install
a pioneer 2 way speaker where the junk speaker was before
it. I put the thing back together and it worked great. The
speaker makes a huge difference by the way.
I always called these games “video games for alcoholics”
because in the bars people would sit there and shovel quarters
into them while drinking a tall beer and smoking Camel non-filter
cigarettes. They are very fun to play though. The games are
all designed to last about 1-3 minutes each on average. There
are a whole lot of puzzle games, trivia, and all sorts of Tetris
siblings. I really bought the thing so my wife could come down
to the arcade and have some fun while I played pinball; she
loves those types of games. My son also loves the miniature
golf game and loves to sit down with me and play it. There must
be subliminal messages on the screen because when you sit down
to play you have a strong desire to grab a beer.
