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.

This probably was about 20 years ago. The game is fun but kind of hard.
