I don't usually go after things so hard to come by. Nice when they do come along but I don't try real hard to find them. If I were to come across one, I would probably get it. This one wasn't planned. The guy just happened to have it and I was all over it. So yeah, maybe someday, but if not, that's ok too.

I'll probably just get a board. Don't really feel like changing the monitor out. I was actually thinking I might put a ninja turtles game in there since the cabinet is nearly identical. Haven't found any cabinet art though.

Me too. It's great. Just happen to know a guy that deals in this stuff. Mostly pinball but he gets a few arcades in every now and then. He come across this one and contacted me about it and another one he had.

No problem. This is what I got from the International Arcade Museum. It describes it as: The game is encased in a black cocktail table with panel veneer on the sides. It appears to be very similar to the early Atari cocktails, with their rectangular glass and control panels along both sides. The overlay says "Star Series" and "Potomac" on both control panels. The underglass stickers have the "Star Warrior" game title and indicate that the game was produced by Potomac Mortgage Company of Dallas Texas.

Here's some quick pics I took tonight. The flash made one of them look bad.

Sure. I'll get some pics tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Picked one of these up in near mint condition about 3 months ago. A bit of Atari in the table style with a bit of Galaga in the game except you can move a bit more other than just straight across. Enemies don't seem to have any real formation. Cool as hell though. Don't seem to be many around.

Kinda what I figured but like you said, everybody has different opinions and all but in the end, I never saw where it really mattered.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was illegal to use roms in mame for games you don't own. Although, if that's the case, who the hell would own 10,000 games and be able to use all those roms. Just like the one time, I read on a site that had Genesis roms that you could download, that if you download these roms and don't have the actual cartridges that you are to delete the file within 24 hours. I don't get it.

Not sure either. Sounds kinda familiar tho. There was a couple of those style games in the 80's. Wasn't common tho.

Yeah I cant imagine having the nerve to even open and enjoy such a game after paying those prices. Why buy just to look at?

Lol. I have a couple consoles I could probably do that with.

What's with the stupid grading system and the 3000 dollar price tags on games just because they are sitting in a plastic case with something like and 85+ grade? I don't get it. Very few people are going to pay that kind of price. Maybe if it's 1 of only a handful made but I cant see it.

I think i'll just go with what I found on ebay.

I have the cockpit version of Turbo. The sub underneath by the pedal works great but the one behind the seat has lost all of its surround material. What would be a proper replacement for this? I found these on ebay but not sure if it'll work. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F370634716100%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1423.l2649

Yeah that first one looks right but its backwards. I don't see how the second one would work eirher tho.

Looking to put in a joystick all-in-1 games controller in a failed basketball arcade cabinet. What will I need to connect the yellow rca video jack to the original 25" crt monitor?

I wouldn't bother. Thing should be left as they are. Are we going to recreate the Playstation 3 40 years from now?

Sorry for the additional posts. Internet dropped and because I kept re-att empting to post, it did......4 times

There's games here but damn hard to locate. Most people overprice them. I've actually had pretty good luck lately with the gamexchange here when it comes to ps1 and ps2 games but usually on anything older, I have to order online. Yard sales used to be good but that was 10 years ago. Once in awhile, the thrift stores will turn up something but rare. Just recently picked up a Colecovision with games and a Vic 20 with games for 30 at a thrift in hot springs.

Everyday is a school day lmao. Check this out. http://littlerock.craigslist.org/tag/3625395422.html This is what annoys me. Someone has something and knows absolutely nothing about it.

Got what I need! Thanks Rick!

Found one. Thanks everyone.
