Oh man, that is stunning! Omega Race is one of the best looking cabinets out there, plus the gameplay is fun as heck.

Eventually, I'll get my cockpit machine restored so I can get in the game as well!
 
It is a great game that is often overlooked.

Shame that the pcb design was poor. If only they didn't put the battery on the top where the acid damage could drip down...

Scored a cool 185,000+!

Gotta love it.
 
Alas, there are two!

Such a gorgeous artwork scheme on this title. The art department gave this cab a lot of love. Congrats on getting it up and running Joe, enjoy it!
 
whoa, clean!

That's like saying, "For whatever reason, this game that was so horribly designed that it broke after being on location for 3 days, is impossible to fix, and was moved back to the warehouse where they probably still had the cardboard box they just pulled it out of sitting around to put back on it.... for whatever reason, this game still looks new"


LOL

LOL! This sums it up in a nutshell.
Shame, such a great game! :D
 
I do have a certain amount of love for Omega Race. If I'd had more space, I would've kept my cabaret.

But I always assumed what happened was this: Midway saw the success of Asteroids, and pretty much went nuts. "We need our own Asteroids! Here, design an awesome cabinet! Actually, design four! Give it sound like Asteroids! Give it the dial control Asteroids should've had! Y'know how people put in dirty initials in Asteroids? Fix that! Racing games are hot, too - give it a racing theme! Make tons of them! We can't lose on this one!"

It all made sense. It just didn't work out...
 
I keep looking at mine in the garage and tell myself "Someday....."

Thanks for providing some inspiration and hope.:cool:
 
Good luck buddy, I tried to repair a horribly acid damaged board and it KICKED MY ASS

lol

I'm going to drag it back out and work on it again down the road a bit.
