RayB:
Check this out (not my auction):

I completely forgot this game even existed, but upon seeing it, I now remember playing it. Would make an excellent addition to ones collection (but it's not that fun of a game).
And before anyone else says it... How about MAMEing this thing?? ;-D (Actually I don't see the point, given that it's controls are way too unique).

man, that's an excellent looking game!! anyone who mames that risks feeling my size 11 boot up a region of their anatomy not really designed to accomodate...

I diefinitly wouldn't want to mame that thing, it seems way too unique.
But... I think it would be sweet to try and reproduce it and make a mame cab. Viper, which is the sequal to Danger Zone also has the same control method. Not to mention you could easily play most yoke games on it I'm assuming.
If anyone happens to buy this thing, please PLEASE take detailed measurments and pictures! I'll probably give it a shot! If no one on the boards does buy it I'm going to be asking the buyer to take measurments and such so if anyone else is interested, let me know.
Oh and a question that KLOV didn't answer for me:
The joysticks don't move right? They are more "handles" than anything else it seems, and you move the whole upper part of the cab right?
If that's the case (not actually being joys) it would be pretty cheap to just get the replacement handle grips from happ.
danny_galaga:
actually thats a great idea! wouldnt have to be an exact replica, just the general feel of it. even though its a trackball design, you could probably play things like battle zone on it as well. hey, and what an amazing way to play arkanoid!

I'm 90% sure that it's POT based as it makes a heck of a lot more sense. 1 pot mounted at the bottom of the shaft holding the monitor up and 1 next to the monitor at the axis for up and down.
Basically it's a 270
