I have a few questions regarding Gorf...
(1) I thought the lamp in the stick lit up when you press the fire button? Mine lights up when you DON'T press the fire button. Is this right?
(2) Are all the bezels misaligned with the light boxes under it for SPACE CADET, SPACE COMMANDER, etc? Mine seems to be about 1/4"+ off to the left from the light boxes. I assumed the light boxes were misaligned but when I removed the bezel I was surprised to see they are mounted to a box that is mounted to the side of the cab... they didn't "slip". The bezel sits tight with the right side so I can't push it right... not a huge thing but it would be nice if the proper part of the bezel lit up completely, etc...
(3) During the 2nd screen... I noted that one of the yellow ships moved off to the side of the screen... in an area that the players ship can't move to... and sat there... for like 5-7 seconds or so.... then zipped back in to the "field of play". I've seen this happen twice so far. Is this a common thing?
(4) During the Galaxian screen... I've been killed by what appears to be the SCORES left over when you shoot a guy... if I run in to one, BAM!
(5) During the Galaxian screen... I've mysteriously died at least 4 or 5 times now... I really didn't see any bullet hit me (though I have to say the bullets are freakin' SMALL on this screen so perhaps I've somehow missed it 4 or 5 times?)... it's almost as if there is an invisible bullet that I'm getting hit by. Bug? Common?
I have to admit though GORF is one bad-ass game in it's original cabinet...the sounds... the controls... it just rocks. The fact that even MAME screws up this game in emulation makes this one helluva good pickup.
