I get through the first wave of aliens and it only lets me take two shots then no more.:(
I'll never get the high score like this...

Any ideas on what may be wrong?
 
Check your voltages and reseat your chips. I've had weird issues with firing before and some reseating and voltage adjustments took care of it. Once it would fire for player 1 but not player 2....

Thanks, I'll check and try it out, hope to add the multi kit pretty soon so I should make sure beforehand.

What happens after the two shots? Could be bad roms or bad rams...any anomalies on the screen?

No other anomalies, I just avoided getting shot and that doesn't last long because I'm not that good...:p, I did turn it off and came back after a 1/2 hour I finally got shots on the second wave and made it through to the third wave, not good enough yet to get past that yet...:p but seems to be working normal now, I will still give it a once over, the no shots after 2 happening on the second wave was wierd so I immediately fired it up again to see if it would do it over and over but only played the two games to verify it, probably help to reseat the roms as it had been on the road the for a bumpy ride home a day ago.:)
