So, I probably shouldn't point you at http://www.thecoverproject.net to reprint covers (and, on rare occasions, manuals) for your loosies, then right? :twisted:
:lol:

I know. I know. It's a great site, and I use it for Wii games that only shipped in cardboard slip covers (i.e., Wii Sports, Link's Crossbow Training, etc.). I still insist on original case art and manuals for my DS games, however.

Got some great thing in this Craigslist pickup today. The guy had almost every instruction booklet for each game/accessory and he threw in the guides for free!

That is awesome. Is the game a Space Invaders clone?

kinda like a cross between Galaga and Space Invaders with a time limit. there are 5 waves you have to complete before running out of fuel, then you do the whole thing over again. it's like a score-attack shmup. here's some gameplay:

i love the sounds! can't wait to get this thing working.

Good luck with the repairs and be sure to keep us updated! When I have the space for one, I would love to get a cool, esoteric cabinet like that...

thanks, and i will. i just love the graphics on this game. the game isn't exactly my favorite style but for $40, i couldn't pass it up. it's currently sitting in my dad's garage awaiting repair. luckily the baseboard isn't warped/damaged so i don't think i'll need to do any insane woodworking to the cabinet itself.

Whoa, cool. That's Data East's first arcade cabinet. Great piece of history. I hope you can get it going.
