Okay, I've only ever seen a few pictures of this game, and I have to admit I previously dismissed it, despite loving Gottlieb System 80s. 

 

 

 

It doesn't get the same love as the other early system 80 games,  but it's a lot of fun.  It's surprisingly challenging and punishes you for imprecise shots. And the theme is awesome.

Good lord that's a handsome sign. I need one of those to put above my Gottlieb pins.

It's not that great as a standalone neon for the wall,  but I think it'll look pretty good as a topper. I'll rig up a better mount...

[Looking for a “classic” joystick]

The quick shot is nice.  It uses micro switches,  so it's clicky

[Commodores in Wonder Woman 1984]

I liked the part where the monochrome office monitors started playing full color video footage.

[Any tips for cleaning a TurboGrafx-16 TurboPad?]

Try rubbing the black conductive pads on the rubber membrane over a piece of paper to clean them.

I think the 500xj is one you either love or hate.  I love it.  It’s my favorite stick.  I’ve heard quite a few comments of people that hate it too.    

I like the feel of the micro switched stick.  Can't say I'm a fan of the side mounted button

I personally find them to be a borderline trash product.

How so?

[Considering a 5200 system]

Is Ikonsgr not making his adapter anymore?  That's the go to solution imo.

[Considering a 5200 system]

Or just use the what's-his-face adapter to use a genesis controller. 

[Considering a 5200 system]

Wonder if he ever bought one???

 

The only thing I have to add to this old thread is find another option for the controller. No matter how well the original controller has been refurbished, it's still a steaming pile of dogshit.

[Led Zeppelin (pinball retheme)]

I'd love a zeppelin pin.  Unfortunately,  I can't see dropping 8-9k on what looks like an unremarkable machine.

Hnnnnnnnng... I've been looking for one of those for a while. Such an awesome theme/artwork

It's a great,  underrated game. Plays faster than the average widebody

[Question about blinking light win]

I agree, it doesn't suck.  It works quite well, actually.  Their customer service however,  is garbage.
