After years of setting in a red barn this classic stand-up arcade is back in business! :D

That's pretty cool, Mathius! I remember when a friend of mine bought the Ivan Stewart Super Off-Road arcade (yup, the one with 3 steering wheels) and had nowhere to keep it, so I had it in my apartment for a few years. That game was like catnip- the ladies really liked to play it. It was awesome being sandwiched in between them on the middle steering wheel... I miss that thing.

Thanks for all the nice words guys! I am having a problem though. The controller functions like to stop working mid-game. Sometimes "player one" will work, and "player two" won't. Then it'll be the other way around. And, when I got home from work tonight neither worked, then "player one" came on but "player two" didn't. Anyone have any ideas?

WICKET!!!! SuperC rocks, still wished they made a liveaction movie when Sly and Arnie were in their prime! I luv how It even includes the cheesy live action Name card at the top that Konami was famous for back in the late 80s, hahaha!  I still remember the hilarious ones from SunsetRiders and Crimefighters arcade machines  :mrgreen:

Anyways, i kinda had that problem when i was playing Raiden 2 DX at an arcade once, where me and my buddy weren't able to control our ships properly at the same time. The arcade guy said something about a "cross wiring" problem...no idea...but its fixable cause a few weeks later the thing was fine.

I am going to have to get some pics of the motherboard and underneath the control panel this weekend (Tuesday and Wednesday for me :wink:)

It's amazing that Konami never was sued for ripping off Aliens. The death screams in level 5 are spot on compared to the movie.

Your mobo is most likely fine.  The control problem is almost certainly the wires.  Check the harness.

I went to an arcade auction back in the 90s and paid $75 for it. I was lucky. :wink:
