Jeff Rivera, do you have a monitor with Pac-man screen burn as well? Mine is fairly bad, and I have been debating on what to do about it. I have two <a href="/?p=1650">brand new arcade monitors from Happ</a>, one is a friend's and the other one I was going to use in my Pac-Mame machine. But I love Pengo, and would love to have a new monitor to play. I also have been in touch with Blaine at Twin Galaxies. Very helpful guy, but confirmed that I would have to swap out my Jrok save kit for the original processor. That isn't going to happen anytime soon, so, I will have to take over some of the top all time Pengo high scores unofficially:) Lol, this post is more difficult to follow when there are two “Jeffs”.

It's actually only noticeable when it's powered down. If I could catch it in play I'd have already replaced it by now. But yeah, I'm planning on replacing the monitor during the summer (after getting my yard taken care of this Spring). I need to get new arcade pics up, I've remodeled and added since then.

Time for a new monitor man! Jeff, that is some serious Pac-Burn. Time for a new monitor man!

My first priority right now is getting a Star Wars, but Pengo is in there with the other cabs I'd grab if they turn up in listings. I’m in Utah…

I missed out on one locally not too long ago, so hopefully another comes up soon. For now, I’ve been playing on MAME, but I’m on the hunt for a Pengo in any form.

Do you play Pengo on Mame? Or do you have an upright or cocktail? I haven't figured out my strategy yet, and I don't think there are Pengo strategy guides out there like there were for Pac-man and Donkey Kong. Too many random mazes, 30 plus or something like that. But, I generally do, get the diamond blocks lined up through about level 12, and then concentrate on staying alive. I don't know if I should just concentrate on staying alive at about level 8...or if I should just kill myself if I die once before level 6, or what. But I would like to be top five all time Pengo scores at some point, and I have a lot of school to finish up with my MBA, so that means a lot 10 and 15 minute Pengo breaks over the next two years. I am sure my score wouldn't count with the Prok score kit, not a factory unmodded board, but screw it, I could still whoop tushie on a regular setup if you give me some ear plugs for the crappy, non-popcorn theme.

I've been getting more into Pengo recently, and it's something my wife is starting to warm up to. I'm not nearly good enough to make a run at the TG score tables, but I love hearing about others who do. Keep it up! Wow, that’s really impressive.
