Seems like everyone I know is buying those cabinets and sending me texts about it. Apparently $250 was the sweet spot. :dunno |

I got the 1up galaga for 299 and wallyworld goofedup my order so I got 50 bucks back for the trouble. I assembled it yesterday. Played one game and the joystick broke. Stuck a wico leaf joystick. Some bright spark put a slot for the joystick making it a two way. I thought galaga was 4 way. Had to bondo that up for the spade bit, and shagged up the CP up a bit. Added two service buttons and wired them all to the gpio on the pi. With the LCD daughter board and some spare bits, made it a nice cabaret for less than $50. That riser was a bit of a rip off. The steam link was overkill, besides the pi can stream too. How much can I flog it for? |

Gorf) began using 8 way sticks to move forward and backward as well as to the sides. Then with the Anniversary machines they released with Ms. Pacman/Galaga they went with 4 way for Ms. pacman and Pacman so that might be where you are thinking it came with a 4-way. |

I was thinking of Galaga 90. ;) Oh BTW Dillards are now selling the Asteroids Version in their stores. |
