So I picked up a Gottlieb machine converted to Vanguard II the other day. I thought this was a jamma game but boy was I wrong. The pinout is a bit odd so I wanted to ask what the general opinion was on this one before I went to all the trouble to wire it up.

I liked the original game but this version appears to be more of top down shooter. Is it fun? Any value?
 
From what I recall, Vanguard II plays like a hybrid of Time Pilot (your ship stays in the center, and the screen scrolls in the direction you are pointed) and Xevious (you have two weapons, one for air based enemies, one for ground based targets). It's not similar to the original Vanguard at all.

Any pics of your machine?

Kyle :cool:
 
Yes the screen shots look exactly as you described.

No pictures of the cabinet but it was just a converted MACH 3 UR in really bad shape. What do these boards sell for normally in working condition?
Search does not seem to bring up much information either way.
