Hmm, I am not sure that I understand your question regarding the 'Miracle On Ice' version being the very first one that they made. Are you asking if this is the very first version of Chexx/Super Chexx that was created by ICE? I don't really know very much about the history of ICE and the chronology of the hockey themes for their bubble hockey games. Sorry

Gord

Yes that's what I was wondering, if the miracle on ice version was the first theme that they made? Or was it just a red team vs a Blue team?

Chexx was the first version, blue base and blue top. USA vs Russia. Not labeled Miracle on Ice until the last generation of Super Chexx. Some Chexx also had Canada as a team.

When did they start doing the NHL teams? That was a great idea also.

That's a nice little bonus.

NHL was around same time as Miracle in Ice and the last generation of Super Chexx. They also offered AHL teams around 2012. Full base decal packages and teams, just like what comes with current NHL packages.

It would be interesting to know how many of these games that they sell a year. I know of one in my area but it is wore out and dirty as heck. Doesnt seem like they would sell many of them but I'm sure there are certain areas of the country where they sell alot of them. I think they might build other types of games also there. I should have mine Tuesday the way that it's looking, cant wait.

If a 1000 per year is accurate that's pretty dang good. That would be enough to keep them really busy. If I had a bar or restaurant etc I would definitely put one of these in. I would think it would pay for itself pretty easy and be mostly maintenance free. How long ago did they start putting the LCD screens in?

As a guy in St. Louis I’m thinking of grabbing a Blues Bruins Stanley Cup one, is direct the best place to order?

Yes definitely. Bringhomethedome.com

Hello, I have a tech to work on my Super Chexx with the Japanese Super Kixx board in it. My Sound went out.

Anyone have Schematics on this these.

More general site:

www.icegame.com

click on the Bubble Hockey link.How do you get by the "But Now Pay Over Time" ad. Never saw that before...Just click on a product before the ad appears. Yikes that's annoying.

anyone know what would cause sound to go out?

Game plays but not as fun without it

The affirm ad doesnt effect me when I go to the page at all. Thats a great thing though because its one year same as cash.

Got my game yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. Me and my buddy put it together and fired it up and I think we.played the most boring and slowest bubble hockey match ever lol. Man did we suck lol. It's not fun when you suck that bad. The good news is you start improving quickly and once you do it is a total blast.

I really love this thing and I can tell already that it was a great purchase..I cant wait to get a group of friends over and really get some good matches going, it's going to be awesome. Took a fee pics before work that arent very good. I'll take more later. Oh yeah and this game is freakin HUGE lol. Holy crap does it take up some space in my little basement.

Who-Dey
Don’t forget to get some lemon Pledge and wipe down the ice surface. The puck will glide like it’s on ice! That makes it faster and more fun.

Did someone say lemon pledge?

They did!

Looks awesome....hopefully no play field chipping

Very nice! One question,do the LEDs do anything during game play? I'll be ordering my game in the next few weeks,and I'm still on the fence about adding the LEDs.
Good luck with your new game.

Couldn't agree more about the cup holders!!! Love my set....Thanks again Taylor.

They do not interact with game play.....They change colors, look cool, and are well done. Interacting with game play makes all the sense in the world.

No they dont do anything during gameplay but they do look pretty nice. I really like how they installed them on the game also, very nicely done. The LED add on certainly isn't a must have by any means but they look nice and I'm glad that i got them. If you have kids i think that they would probably love them as well. They really brighten the room up and i would say that they turn seven or eight different colors probably.

How often do you guys wipe your playfields down with Lemon Pledge? Haven’t found any chipping on the Playfield yet PW79 but the way that puck flies around there im sure that its just a matter of time.

Depends on use and it is optional really. I do it a couple times a year, usually before I have a group of guests coming over. I wipe down the dome far more frequently (weekly).

A spritz of pledge on the towel will go a long way.

Congrats on the game! But I couldn’t help but notice, are you watching some sort of stiga table hockey tournament on the tv?
That looks like something you would see on ESPN 8, the ocho!

The “playfield” will never chip. Nor will it dimple.

Pledge should be applied and buffed off so that the puck can slide easy from end to end. When the puck slides and then stops, or slows, it is time for a pledge application.

Do NOT use any ammonia-based window cleaner on the dome. Use Novus 1 for general cleaning, or a swifter wipe for a light dusting. The dome is nearly indestructible, but it can scratch easy. Use microfiber towels, and never clean with paper towels.

Not sure what that was really. I was watching the set up video on youtube and it just kept playing other videos automatically after the set up video. I did notice one video where these Japanese guys I believe it was were playing some kind of a small rod hockey game and the rods were really teeny tiny and very flimsy almost like a little toy would be. I dont know how they even grabbed ahold of them.

Thanks for all the tips guys. What about spray away glass cleaner on the dome? It has no ammonia in it. Would that be ok or should i just use novus 1? I also have some Plexus that i used to use on my motorcycle windshields, that may work good also?

I use Plexus. It's a great product and helps protect plastics.

You talked me into it,I don't have any kids,but there's still a big kid inside me.

Novus 1 on the dome, pledge on the ice surface.

You won’t regret it. People have a blast when they come over and play. If they don’t smile when they walk up to play their first game kick em out.

Had to get under the hood tonight...left defenseman rod collar busted. This is what years of sitting in a humid houston warehouse will do to the pot metal. Luckily, I had some spares from the original restoration!

I really struggled about the LED light kit because 200 bucks isnt anything to sneeze at but I saw pics of Ptowns game and thought they looked nice and just said heck with it im already spending this much so I'll just get the light kit as well. I figured the worse thing that could happen is I dont like them and I would waste 200 bucks and turn them off. I've wasted 200 dollars on dumber things than that i can promise you that much.

If you use the affirm credit on their site you can get one year same as cash also so don't forget that. I really like my game and dont regret buying it at all. Its absolutely gorgeous and a lot of fun. I cant imagine how much fun this thing is going to be when I get better at it. Right now I suck pretty bad but it's still fun. Its going to be lots of fun when I have friends over to play too, hopefully it will become a regular thing.

Taylor's cup holder really are nice and you dont have to worry about someone walking into the ones that you put on the side of the game and ripping them off and tearing your game up.

For sure! Safest spot for a drink. Fits a can of pop like a glove. I was worried about spillage. My son and I both had new drinks for 6 games. Not one drop splashed out. Thank you, Taylor!

I just ran into my first problem with my super chexx....typically after somebody scores a goal theres a delay prior to the puck being ejected into the game. For some reason mine is happening immediately, which is very annoying. Not sure if theres a switch or an opto in there, but something wrong. I'll have to call Ice on Monday

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I'm sure it's nothing big probably. That's weird though.

Just installed Taylor's cup holders on my game too, looks great I think!

The Red looks good....

I noticed one of my tracks is getting a little burred up and I was just wondering if that is normal? It's not a big deal but i was just curious why that is happening? This isnt a great picture but it'll give you an idea what I'm talking about.

For what it’s worth, a few of my tracks looked like that before a single game was played.

does anyone have the code for the free team holiday promotion
