List of Locations for UMK3 and other MK Arcade Machines

[Tim Static]

The map was started and has a few locations, it's not a main priority right now but I think it'll eventually happen. Something with a date system too, as in, last verified.

Well, if there is anythin I can doto help with this list, please let me know. I'd love to do something for this site that has given me so much. (sorry for the cheese, but I love this kommunity!!!!)

We definitely have a handful of programmers on the site now, maybe some more people interested in helping out Dreemer, I can't program, I can only tweak.

I have one cabinet, a MK2 dedicated. But I wired up a switch to switch between different games. They are kinda just sitting in there right now, I need to actually build a shelf system of some kind still.

As far as the map, I'd be up for doing it. I do PHP/HTML/etc, but I'm working on a game or two for the iPhone right now, like iBlackjack. That's my main priority, but I think it's a great idea that can be filtered out to more than just MK. All arcade games are coveted by some people.

Tim, As far as The Grid, this was my old location list I ran for the game 7 years ago. Check the ones near you and let me know.

You would need a new cabinet for The Grid, since it's "Medium Resolution" where MK1-4 are "Standard Resolution." Unless you got a newer monitor that can auto switch between display types.

My current monitor has some burn in, and I may replace it with an auto-switcher or maybe an LCD auto-switching monitor to drop the weight of the cabinet. I'd want to see how they looked first.

But it's VERY hard to find just a board for The Grid. It's easier to find a whole Cabinet, but even that is hard.

I also fixed the link. BBcode messup on my part.

I only found one cab for The Grid on eBay, and of course its $1500

But its only an hour away from me!!!

Holy shit....can I borrow $1500 somebody? Please? I'll let you play on the cab!!!

I know places in NY that have it for less, but that's a farther trip. I think a flea market wanted to get rid of them for $400-500 each. They had 3 of them too.

If I didn't know more were out there to be had, I'd snag the one near you and have it delivered here. OH isn't THAT far. 5 hours to Cincinatti, I did that there and back for the last regular season Cubs game of the year this year.

you must have connections or no where to look

i have buttons and replacement parts for arcade sticks so i am covered there

i have to go to sleep now damn job

 

[Tim Static]

me too...nighty night...


zzzzzzzzzzz.........

 

[McCarron]

HappControls.com is the best for replacement parts, they still make the exact parts you need for the MK games. Nice thing for me is that I can just drive over and get parts, they are only 10 minutes from my office.

Funny note, I actually did some web-design work for them early on in 98 for the summer. Too bad I didn't stick with them somehow and score some mega discounts on parts.

I got my cabinet with UMK3 for $350. I also put about $100 worth of parts into it. New red trim, new buttons, new sticks, new light ballast. Then I put a bunch more in for a Mutli-Jamma (http://www.multigame.com/jamma.html) and to buy more boards.

Now to just build a proper shelving system to easily manage cables as well. That's why I never finished, got stumped on how to do it right.

 

[Kaiba]

Update on the UMK3 machine in Dallas- the sticks suck now. P1 can't jump diagonaly to the right and P2 has issues with going to the right and sometimes left.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Location: Kwik Trip/Hearty Platter 24-hour gas station/restaurant on I-94 about 40 miles west of Eau Claire, WI.

Stopped here to use a gift card I got for Christmas for some gas on the way back from the Wild game last night and noticed a glow from the window in the hallway that connects the restaurant and gas station. I looked closer and I saw Scorpion's bio screen! Ran in to check out the condition of the cabinet, and it was what I expected it to be; an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 machine. It seems to be a Midway MK2 unit that was converted/upgraded since the MK2 sideart is present. The controls works and the monitor is great, but the control panel and the cabinet need some cleaning and a scrub down (it's a big trucker gas station, as well, so there is a lot of dirt around). The red t-molding also has some cigarette burns in it LOL.

stop buying public umk3 machines! every time I find a umk3 machine someplace someone buys it and I have no place to fight publicly.

I'm considering building a umk3 cabinet and putting it in my favorite bar on freeplay just so I can have someplace public to fight people at and possibly grow some more attraction towards the game. kaillera, xbla, or ds are fine and all but there's nothing like 1v1 on the actual wolfunit.

As for the grid I just found an bowling alley here with 6 grid machines in it! I'm considering propositioning the guy with an offer to fix his games and in return get grid turned on freeplay and maybe some free beer. That game is deathmatch at its finest. Terrible single player though.

If you're planning long distance trip...go to Tunisia!
Hotel Skannes El Hanna, near Sousse and yes, they have UMK3 cabinet!
I was there a few months ago. The cabinet is in very good condition but unfortunately...they didn't know why the coin slot doesn't accept any kind of coins :shock:

 

[Perceptes]

Found an MK4 machine at Boomers mini-golf/go-kart/arcade/etc. in San Diego, CA just off the 805 on Clairemont Mesa.

 

[budda121]

pensylvania

pensylvania had a few arcade places when i went there for a trip. check around there

 

[Vulcain666]

I should really check my local arcades in Montreal. I haven't been to an arcade in years! lol gosh I hope there's still a umk machine somewhere near here..

 

[budda121]

omg luis is here!!!

but uh any way there are not many here on long island probably 2-4 hidden in the ghetto-y places

 

[Tobias Boon]

There is a MKII Machine in the Holiday Inn at Auburn New York

 

[Tobias Boon]

There is also one at some mini-golf course near Buffalo. The controls work great but the screen has a strange shade of green to it

 

[rulemaster]

theres a umk3 machine at the riverside bowling alley in janesville, wisconsin i didnt get a chance to play it cause there was a million kids around it on a friday night lol
