Hey dudes,

Finally signed up for these forums after lurking forever.  Wanted to introduce myself, and say hey to everyone.  My name is Joe -- but when drinking my buddies call me Jow -- and Ive been an RBI player since the ripe age of 8.  Played it a TON on my NES as a small chap, and used to drop all my quarters in to the Arcade version at the local Chuck-E-Cheese back in the day.  Im an arcade collector, and RBI was the 3rd game I ever owned.  Its been with me since 2003, and I still play it all the time.  If anyone is interested, you can check it out here:

Hope there is still activity here, and I look forward to talkin some RBI with you guys. 

Cheers,

Jow

your link doesn't work, but i went to the main site of http://thegarcade.webs.com and clicked the RBI link, and it worked.  it looks like your arcade collection could rival shooty's...good stuff.

I love how the Arcade poster advertises "Add-a-coin continuation feature for those extra inning games" when the games end in a tie after 9 innings.

Also, "Split-screen graphics"?  What the hell?

Welcome to the forums, Jow.

[Jow]

Thanks guys.

I think the "split screen" feature they are talking about were the kits they put into the Dualsystem cabs:



And the "red tent" cabs (the sit down Nintendo cocktails).

I could be wrong though?

[BeefMaster]

That's pretty clever, advertising a feature that was a standard part of the cabinet and had nothing to do with the game.

"Convenient quarter-operated gameplay!"

Welcome Jew.

Nice to see another arcade collector here.

Do you actually have 720 or just the shoes.  I can't seem to find a 720 anywhere in my area, but I did get the shoes a few months ago after a night of drinking and ebaying.

No, Jow

I do own a 720,  but have actually not seen the shoes in person yet.  I kinda like em though.  What else do you have in your collection??  Where are you located?  I may be able to help you track down a 720...

To answer the other questions -- no, I dont work in a factory, heh -- but I do have a wife and son (he just turned 7 months old) who will learn the RBI ways as soon as he can hold a controller

[broiler]

do you push the buttons with your left hand?

[nomaaa]

I wish I got your guys' jokes.  Sadly, I do not....
