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.

Nice Mathius "what is this place !?" Keep your eyes peeled!"

[Tatsujin]

Nice super contra! would love to play that right now

[Mathius]

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 

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 )

Heh, I'd rather be playing as Rambo than the Terminator.

Nice super contra! would love to play that right now

Come on over, Tats! It's a loooooooong way though.

Not too shabby. 

Thanks NecroPhile!

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.

Awesome! I'm so jealous!

Awesome! I'm so jealous!

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