I played a few more times and still dont understand what makes the game continue on and what makes it end.

But it's unique. It's fun. And that SOB was in great condition!

I was fortunate enough to play it and could not figure out how you end your game so I just walked away. As for the guy in the pic i'll go with bowie.
 
I'm getting PM asking me about it so I thought it was time to post.

Yes, the Sundance at SC3 was mine as is the one that was the subject of extensive discussion here.

It was fixed just in time for the show...
 
Did it have a METH smell?

When you walked away from it did you immediately want to build something or play a bunch of games of dice?

The game is time based. When the clock runs out the game ends. For the last 10 seconds there is an onscreen counter at the top left that gives you a count down.

BTW: Game was set to display Japanese words onscreen (vector drawn Japanese is pretty neat). The game was set to English where it arrived. In the process of fixing it (power transistors, blown DACs, resisters, etc.) the Japanese was discovered and turned on for the show.
 
I vote Son of a Bitch. Oh wait, we're talking about the game, aren't we? ;) That is pretty neat. I'm still perplexed as to how a game like that stays in that kind of condition in a place like where it came from when everything else there appeared to be completely trashed from the pics. Very odd...
 
The game was picked up for the show so I wasn't there for set up. It was really kind of nice walking in and the first game facing the entrance was the Sundance.

(Photo taken early in the day before it got busy...)

Now that's cool, anyone have a picture of that? I don't know that I've ever seen Japanese in vector form.
 
Totally forgot about SC3. Damn. Anyone have a list of games that were there?
 
I took some video of the cabinet and I think I got a bit of the gameplay. I'll see how it came out and post if it shows the screen good enough.

I know it's been mentioned, but I still can't get my head around it.

There weren't many Sundance machines to begin with, the vast majority of those didn't survive, they weren't built to last that long, and they're a grail in this hobby. Yet, one turns up in an abandoned shack-turned-drug den where everything else is trashed, and where it almost certainly would've been the most interesting thing in there (besides the drugs) and thus even more likely to be trashed.

And it's in great shape.

If I didn't know the story behind it, I would've said the only way it could be true is if someone planted it there to be found...

What I was thinking all along. Conspiracy involving Mclemore, Jehuie, Bwiklem, and........wait for it......Club 33.

i read this as the one at the show is NOT the infamouse sundance, though you do have it.
so you have 2 sundance machines?
