DEADCabinet #1: Coconut Blaster
Working. The one that still works. Danny's high score remains untouchable. We replaced the joystick in 2003. The joystick has never forgiven us. It drifts slightly left. Danny never mentioned the drift. Danny played around it.
DEADCabinet #2: Tiki Trek '84
Monitor flickers. Flicker pattern spells "HELP" in Morse code. This is probably a capacitor issue. Nobody will open it to find out.
HAUNTED?Cabinet #3: Volcano Run
Powers on at 3:14 AM every night. Plays one round by itself. Gets a higher score each time. We have unplugged it. It continues.
DEADCabinet #4: Gecko Attack
An actual gecko lives inside. Has been there since 1998. We tried removing the gecko. The gecko filed a complaint through the Gazette. The gecko stays.
DEADCabinet #5: Shave Ice Rush
The syrup dispenser attachment melted in 2002. Smelled like burnt sugar for six months. The smell is gone. The memory is not.
UNKNOWNCabinet #6: Mongoose Mayhem
The parking lot mongoose visits this cabinet specifically. Sits on the control panel. Nobody asks it to move. The mongoose is considering a speedrun.
DEADCabinet #7: Menehune Miner
Buttons stuck in 2005. According to the Menehune Union, this is "feature, not bug." We are not arguing with the union.
DEADCabinet #8: Island Drift
The steering wheel came off in 2008. Still attached by wires. Still technically playable if you believe in yourself.
