Even if you had no interest in the game inside, it'd be more than worth it to gut for parts and build a mame cocktail.
Believe it or not no violence was needed... :lol:

I was thinking the same thing but now after looking it over and being it being so foreign to me I don't think I would go mame with it unless it totally crapped out. The game itself plays a lot like Yars Revenge cept with vector graphics, and has an Asteroids feels to it....ahh..its already growing on me... :lol:
You mean it works? If you gut it you will be destroying a rare piece of Video Game history! There are a lot of raster scan non working cocktails out there if one wants to go the Mame route, but not a uncommon working vector one.

Oh yeah it works perfectly, even the coin mech still works.

I totally agree, fun discovering a "new" to me game 30 years later. :wink:

fuck the past- gut the sucker. If that mame cocktail didn't want you to it wouldn't prance around with that sweet faux wood frame.

i kid i kid.
