I have been looking for an SNK Psycho Soldier for ages, and this game is pretty hard to find. Boardsets sporadically surface on ebay, one was up just the other day. Anyway, I did a search of every Craigslist in the country and a complete kit in a cab surfaced in Oregon: with marquee, monitor bezel, and panel with SNK cpo, all for a mere $125! I am in New York, naturally :), and was even considering enlisting an Oregon KLOVer to grab it for me and pull the kit from the generic JAMMA cab, but alas someone beat me to it. This is the first complete Psycho Soldier kit I have seen so far.

Anyway, Psycho Soldier is a rather cool, and somewhat strange forced sidescrolling platformer/shooter thing from 1987. The vocal soundtrack is the first of its kind to be encoded in ROM, and is surreal, to say the least. This game has great graphics, lots of fun sounds, and not too shabby gameplay. It's also a real slab of pre Neo Geo SNK history, with the protagonists later recycled for their fighting games. Sooner or later, it will be mine.
