No, but I should!

Another good one that I TRIED to get working in my cab was a game someone made for "The Last Starfighter."  It was supposed to be exactly like the game from the movie (not a real game as far as I know) but the graphics were all shot when I played it on my machine.  Anyone else tried?

Those are by the same person. The Last Starfighter is a good version, though not entirely graphically accurate.

I tried both of the games but neither would run.  Error says: "the program can't start because d3drm.dll is missing from your computer.  try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

Sounds like a directx issue but how do you fix a direct x issue on a windows 7 computer?

You have to google for that .dll, but it will work.

Ill have to try both of them out and see if they are cab worthy.  :)

Both games load up on XP.  I'll have to try the gameplay to see if they are worth keeping.  Pretty neat that they made these and shared.

One of the KLOV guys bought an empty cab from me last year, and said he was going to make a dedicated Space Paranoids out of it.  Never heard back whether he actually did that or not, though...

impressive coding, but not a great game at all.
They should have stuck a perfect copy on the Tron2.0 CD IMHO
