Hey all, I have a Moon Base cocktail with the 3 board stack which I'm trying to diagnose. It probably has multiple issues - the behavior varies when powering it up. Sometimes, it will play game sounds and sit with garbage on the screen but more often it will sit just silently display...

I feel your pain....

Has to be Dragon Buster by Namco - takes me right back to being about 9 years old...

As a kid I didn't get to go to the arcades much, just on beach visits in the summer so my must have list is all over the place: Galaga Sega Turbo Phoenix Paperboy Space Harrier and my all time favourite.... HARD DRIVIN I'll probably never own any of them.... :(

I've started collecting consoles recently, but apart from that (and doing stuff with the kids), my other main hobby is off-roading my Land Rover!

Wow! £750 what a bargain! A wooden box with a Pentium 4 in it - its only £900 on BIN... I think I'll do that to make sure I get it...

I got these values from a different forum, but I will try and take the actual readings from mine later. Hope they're useful! POLO 1 28" Lh 1.49mh Lv 24.5mh Rh 1.6 ohm Rv 11.0 ohm

You never know, one day there might be a collector giving away all their games after a fire at their house, with a free xbox with every item! :)

It looks like mame is squashing the game to play on a vertical monitor (the aspect ratio seems out on the game, but not on the information page) What are the rotation settings in MAME.INI or ini\mwalk.ini? Also you probably want to make sure you have -switchres and -video ddraw specified in...

Well that puts me straight! :)

I thought Op Wolf had positional guns rather than optical?

I like Raiga - Strato Fighter by Tecmo a lot. Its quite similar to R-Type, but has two players at one time, and the levels change direction and your ship can face different ways. I only discovered it recently on my annual trip to the coast to play the arcades. It was in a dusty corner of an...
