Xybots!
Neverending Project:
I hope it lives up to your expectations! :-\ Twenty-some years is a long time to build up that "On-man-I-wish-I-knew-what-I-was-missing-out-on-all-these-years" feeling.
Here's to it not sucking... :cheers:

I loved that game, it was around the time atari were making a lot of cool arcade games like indiana jones, road runner and 720. I use to like playing it as it was split screen 2 player you could have some good games. I had it for my atari ST and my atai lynx.

I have a XYbots joystick (hope to have it hooked up in the mame cab soon) and as mentioned to turn either left or right you give the knob a little turn and there are two switches at the bottom of the joystick that trigger. Interesting joystick and great game esp w/ 2 players!

I'd quite like to come up with a DIY joystick that does this....not sure if I ever will mind you. Anyone else done it?

Not sure why it was on free play. And actually I did get to play it once. The game was new and being an excited kid seeing a new arcade game at the store, I would press the buttons for fun when I didn't have quarters to play it. I pressed start and the game started. Tried it a few times but had to leave since I went to the store with my mom. Eventually other kids found out it was on free play as well.
:timebomb:
This probably was about 20 years ago. The game is fun but kind of hard.
