Well...one of my favorites from way back when is finally in the arcade - Sea Wolf! The game is so unique looking and who doesn't just love that crazy artwork! This game arrived with a dead monitor.....the game board dead.....and the power supply board dead - the dreaded triple whammy! Well...she is now running good enough and cleaned up enough (wow was it filthy) for a few photos. I still have the sound board to go through (pretty nasty hum and the sound gets a little distorted after the game is left on for a while)....but she is at least playable.

The best part was my four year old daughter yelling - "GOT ONE......GOT ONE!!!"...even when she just shot a mine....:)

I figured everyone always likes to see pictures of a true B&W classic! ;)

I absolutely love that second picture... I have a Gun Fight and two Space Encounters here waiting for someone to start repairing their PCBs. ;)

Great picture! :beerchug:
 
Congrats on getting yours working! I have either a power supply issue with mine or a bad rom on the board, I just get random garbage on my screen, I need to get my $&@ going and get it working, love this game!
 
Yeah....I have not played Sea Wolf since the 70's....and funny....it is just as much fun as I remember! I remember it being revolutionary when it came out just like the driving games of the day. Being a youngster and thinking....I can look through a 'real periscope'....and sink enemy ships....WOW!

Oh the good old days....;)
 
Very cool addition Alan- congrats. I don't think I have ever played the original Sea Wolf, but it sure looks cool and I am sure I will get a chance one of these days. Any game with a turret is top notch in my book.
 
Congrats on the new Sea Wolf. It was the first game I remember playing when I was a kid. Like you said it still is a lot of fun today and it seems to appeal to a wide range of gamers I've noticed.
 
I have a stack of various rom boards for SI SW, BH etc... that may or may not work pm me if interested.
