Cool, Thanks. Your project turned out great. Do you find the flight stick makes it spacier? |

My buddies and I loved this game in the 80's and I still love it today. The multiple games within a game, a big "boss" to beat at the end of each level, the rankings, the taunting by the SC-01 voice chip, the intensity and aggressiveness of the Galaxians, the very difficult at higher levels of space warp... The joystick is the same one used in Tron, the only difference its that this one is solid black. It feels great and the grommet has just the right resistance to it. I only have this one game and this is the one I have wanted for years. As a bonus, it has been a fun project to refurbish. |

The new set of boards came for the Gorf machine and I was able to replace the bad 0066-117xx with a new chip and now Gorf plays in glorious stereo. All of the left channel sounds like stomping space invaders, twirling galaxians and the firing of the laser cannons are now there! The game sounds great now and of the set of boards that I received from the E-bay auction the CPU, Game board, ROM and one RAM board all work fine the pattern board is dead and one RAM board puts yellow or blue patterns over the game depending on which of the two slots you put it in. |

Are these easy fixes? Are you going to repair them? Also, did you receive an additional card basket? |
