    I'm a certified card carrying 80's mall rat and I've never heard of this game.

    Looks like a fun game. Especially when boredom kicks in.

    I'd never come across nor played that game BITD. Traveled to Galloping Ghost a month ago and they had one there. I really like that game.

    This was a rare game for sure, I only ever saw one, in a Chuckie Cheese around '82., right next to the Pengo. Nice save as always!

    @0:28 - "We're not old enough to have played it back in the day." That - really surprises me. Not that I have heard of the game, but it came out in 1981. I just assumed that, because of your vast knowledge of vintage games, you would have been around and playing in those days. Even if young. I was going on 12 and we had moved to Oahu, Hi ('79) at the time. Apparently they also brought the game out on the C-64 inm '83.

    Must be great when you get a relatively easy one to fix. It wasn’t broke - it was just maladjusted! Happy days.

    I have NEVER heard of this game and I don't think it is on the 8000 in 1 MAME ROM that Raspberry Pi and other emulators run.
    I would seriously pull the chips and save the programs from each chip for future use.
    Most games are in the ROM image but this is a rare one
    Really great find

    JOE, So the RGB Signals from the game board molex connector was plugged into the header pbc pins incorrectly by shifted to the left so the RED signal was never connected at all.

    That was fun to watch. That looks like a cool game too!
    As someone who has no experience working with arcade games, but I'm a bit of a videophile with my setup at home, are there any options for using test patterns for calibrating these arcade displays instead of approximating it based off the game? I wouldn't expect someone going all the way to using colorimeters, but I'm curious if just plain test patterns ever get used for this.
    Thanks as always for the entertainment!

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes there are some simple little text pattern generators you can hook up to them to help

    • @audioman612
      @audioman612 4 місяці тому

      @@LyonsArcade Ah alright, I had a feeling something along those lines would be the case. I remember when I was a kid, I'd try to freeze the image on a face I thought I knew reasonably well, and then I discovered calibration discs in high school. I might've spent a bit more time adjusting, but at least I had consistent result every time.
      Thanks for the reply!

    As the old CRTs disappear, what will be the replacement? Some type of OLED TV units? IPS LCDs? Just wondering since you tend to repair or use older CRTs, but clearly their time is coming to and end? No?

    • @LyonsArcade

      People are hacking LCD screens into them, looks horrible. I just fix the original CRT.

    It's apparently been remade for the C64 too... and there is an Italian synthpop project that made a song with the name on their "I Adore Commodore" album... and the inner sleeve even had a basic listing for the song. Anyway it seems that it is not very closely related to the game though. ua-cam.com/video/AmYfch78_Mo/v-deo.html

    I loved this game use to play it a lot. I think the audio bad on this one. I swear you use to get a sound ask you picked up the things on the screen. I also have this on the atari 2600. I have not seen the arcade one in years I spent a lot of money on it. Aslo if not on free play 1 quarty you get 3 lifes but if you use 2 quarters you get 7 lives.

    I must be one of only a few viewers who actually saw more than one of these in arcades. I even played it on the Atari 2600. I love the high resolution Midway games of the period.
    They didn't get "Starfox" from Solar Fox, they got it from the Marvel Comics character named Starfox who was the brother of Thanos and joined the Avengers. If the preceding sentence sounds stupid, that's because it is. It's like saying "Firefox" the browser was named after Clint Eastwood's "Firefox" the movie (and laserdisc video game).
