First Game of 2011: Rampage!!!

Those who like to watch? Or maybe little guys who somehow sneak their own in there making you think it's yours? Chiropractors? Carnival Barkers? Bob Barker?

Hey... Hey... HEY!

Agreed, and cool that you owned one once. Most serious collectors seem to snub their noses at any game that came out after '83, which is sad. Who doesn't like giant monsters destroying buildings and fighting armies? This game represents a part of my youth that I really miss. It used to be one of the few games that sat in a small row on the South wall of the Melrose Bowl. The others being Ghosts N Goblins and Heavy Barrel. Since we lived in the country, I would go from school to Cub Scouts and religion classes and then up to the alley to wait for my grandma to get done bowling as she was my ride home. Fast forward 25 years. I bowled at the same place in a no-tap tourney just last Saturday and the whole alley has been remodeled. The original owner died and his son and grandson took over. It is bigger, more open and much nicer, but the charm is gone. They now have all this extra room and not one video game. Not one. That really made me sad. I think this is gonna be a fun resto. I should really get this side art reproed as painting it just doesn't seem right.

I love Rastan and Black Tiger too which are real challenges to beat with one credit. I think the games that are impossible to beat with one credit are the ones that give all post '83 games a bad rap. Gauntlet I am looking at you! Even Street Fighter which some people think is garbage (not me) you can beat with one credit. Ghouls and Ghosts is awesome, I wish I had that board!

I had one back about 4 years ago. The cabinet was in good shape but the CPO was missing and had been replaced by green contact paper or something equally ugly.

Hello:

But I guess the trade off is that it does have a nice CPO:

Time to get to work on this bitch.

Seeing this in the bottom of the cab is almost never a good thing

I guess I never paid much attention to the power supply in mine. It was a standard switcher. Rampage probably goes back to a time before those were in heavy use but I never thought about it till now. What a mess you have there. I'm all for using PC power supplies but doing a good job would have been nice as well.

What are those 2 bolts doing in the middle of the cp?
