Just thought this was interesting. Was it to be the sequel to Metro Cross perhaps? I see there was just a new Aero Cross game released.

Sit-down arcade cabinet - $250 (scotts valley)

This is a sit-down cabinet developed custom for an arcade game we tested at Bally-Midway in the late 80s.

The game was never produced, and it is not running. I doubt the eproms are still viable, though all the parts are still in place. I am suspicious of the power supply, but it is a standard Bally supply from the time.

As is, this would be a great cabinet for a customizer to use to install another game or game system. All the glasses and original parts are there. Physically the only problems are a slight crack in the plastic seat and some rust along the top.

I've had it in my house since we pulled it off test in the Chicago arcades. I was the sound programmer/designer/musician on the development team.

$250 OBO

Saw that one as well, it's a different and unique game but good luck on finding parts for it though.

Yeah, it's possible that the roms are still there and ok. Who knows. Are Bally-Midway prototypes collected much? It seems like everyone wants the Atari and vector stuff way more.

If it wasn't so large it would be more tempting to me. It's not THAT far away though. If someone here really wanted the thing.....
 
It would be neat if someone got it and dumped the ROMs. My money is on it being MCR based and would of been released ~'84.

Looks pretty cool.

EDIT: Same Cockpit as Spy Hunter.
