I still have an original console in my basement. The controllers are fried though, and I can still remember playing the cracy black jack game on it...
Vids:  Home built MAME machine, Crystal Castles. Arkanoid
Pins:   Williams Aztec (working). Stern Nugent (not working...yet), Williams Phoenix (major not working, missing parts.... )

Always on the lookout for buying 90's game with Ramps that need work...

I can tell you this much...don't bother.

I had a friend give me his.  He loved the original, and since it was broken he was hoping to get a 'Night Stalker' fix.

Not only is the gameplay different, the sounds are completely different as well.

I played 'Shark Shark' (hadn't done so before) and then downloaded a ROM and emulator.  Completely different.

Synopsis: don't waste your money.

Interesting.  According to that link, it's actually using NES hardware (I'm guessing NES on a chip) and reprogrammed versions of the games.  I wonder if that might be a cheap way to get a NES on a chip.

I was going to buy this for an Astrosmash fix.  Guess i'll just stick to an emulator... or maybe the ps1 Intellivision Lives! dics.
