Track & Field Arcade 100 meters in 7.64

Track & Field Arcade 100 meters in 7.64. The speed at the end was 1282. I've finished with 1311 but only got 7.69. I guess I had a better start this time.

Hey, I love your finger roll, I always went with my outside fingers first and never made it under my goal of 8 secs for 100m. I notice you only use 1 run button, does it make a difference?

@purpletin Most people that do this do it the way you do. And I'm not sure if 1 button or 2 buttons is better. It's just that most machines I played BITD only had 1 good button if they even had a good button. The other thing the 1 button does for me is it keeps my timing. I've tried with 2 buttons and dont stay in sync. On 1 button I can only have one hand go across the button followed by the other. Rather that get all screwed up trying 2 buttons.

@purpletin You would have to avoid both buttons being pressed at the same time to be effective. Both buttons act as one so it's almost impossible to do.

I remember the "fast guys" back in the 80's using the small bic-comb technique... Do you guys know anything about that?

[FlyHec]

@TIGERSDFW I used to use a comb back in the day. I also had a nice 1/2 mac wrench that worked out nicely. I used to see it all. Rubbing a wallet across the buttons, electric toothbrush, pencil and comb to name a few.

i have the arcade machine in my basement but with the rolling balls not the buttons, and i can get 7.85. does the high score reset if you turn it off though?

[FlyHec]

There is a dip switch setting to save the scores if your battery still works.

WOW! Someone who gets the 7.50 100m LEGITAMATELY! Good camera placement to prove you're not cheating!

I, well, not that fast.

In my hayday, I could get to 1200cm/sec hitting the run buttons 3 times/second (3 times each, at 2 seconds). My timing was good enough to make that work, and amaze people. That was when the game was big in the arcades.

@FlyHec OK thanks. Would be interesting to see how quick 100m would be with the second button getting a similar speed.!!!
