arcadeblogger.com posted an article earlier which included the following video: JRN6HSlSM7I At several points in the video, it appears as though the speed of the background scrolling can be controlled by the player, likely by moving the Solvalou to the bottom of the screen. This is behaviour...

Emulators suck! Nuh-uh they don't! *You* suck! No, *you* suck! Since I'm feeling somewhat soapboxy today, there's something I'd like to bring up. Much of this has come out of watching commentary here regarding emulation vs. arcade game collecting, and none of it is aimed at a specific...

I know this is a long shot, but is anyone out there aware of a commercially-available fingerboard (or other adapter) to connect a 36-pin Naughty Boy wiring harness (pinout here) to JAMMA? The Monstrosity is getting the structural repairs that it needs this weekend, and after that I'm planning...

While doing some reading up on Atari vector games, I noticed that more than one Atari vector game had an 'XX' suffix after its model number. Example #1: Battlezone. Per this post in this thread, at least one Battlezone upright was produced with a model number of '225XX' showing on the serial...

Last year, I picked up this monstrosity: (Photo was originally taken by the seller, but the condition remains unchanged right down to the Naughty Boy PCB.) This year, I'm finally getting around to doing some of the work that it's needed since I got it. Made by OmniGames Manufacturing of...

Not mine, no affiliation with seller, etc. http://www.ebay.com/itm/working-Data-East-robo-cop-Arcade-Game-collectible-machine-Vintage-Retro-Hip/191871261979 Slightly rough from what's visible, but it does have the Centuri coin door.

I'm looking for info regarding Data East's Explorer beyond what I've been able to dig up so far - which isn't really very much. Here's what I know so far: Released in 1982 by Data East Flyer claims it was available for either the Deco cassette system or as a ROM-based game; no dumps of...

21-inch monitor in Major Havoc / Firefox / I, Robot / ROTJ cabinet? Not planning on doing this to an original cabinet, so torches and pitchforks are unneccessary :D Does anyone know if it's possible to use a 21" monitor in place of the 19" unit originally found in Major Havoc / Firefox / I...

Midway Space Invaders at the National Museum of Computing (UK) While visiting the National Museum of Computing yesterday, we ran across this Midway Space Invaders exhibit. It was the only arcade game in the museum and had a few issues (not all sounds working, possible bit rot in the graphics...

Name games that defy the natural order of horizontal scrolling I'm trying to think of side-scrolling games that do not scroll from screen right to screen left. There aren't many that I've been able to come up with so far: Fast Freddie and Super Rider are pretty much it for the moment...

Ran across this on eBay earlier tonight, and was wondering if anyone had experience with them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xtension-Classic-Arcade-Cocktail-Cabinet-/330868472385?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d094c3a41 I realise that they're basically just selling the wood and plexiglass (you add...

This is a 'help me ID this cabinet' request, but with a couple of twists: * I don't have a photo of the cabinet, so am using the crappy hand-drawn pictures attached below to illustrate it. Yes, I have positively zero artistic ability but they should at least get the idea across. Views are...

Falcon and Betson Enterprises: possible connection? Manufacturers of bootleg games have been an interest of mine for quite a long time, with Falcon (probably best known for their Crazy Kong bootleg) topping the list. About a year ago, I noticed a possible back-in-the-day link between Falcon...
