Title: These Guys Get It...
Post by: yotsuya on February 10, 2015, 04:43:03 pm

Some guys making their own JAMMA game... I love the cab. Simple artwork, a throwback to the 80s.

Good share!  I joined the mailing list.  I'm not seeing 6 buttons on a shump.

I'm really excited about this.  Such a cool project.  Reminds me a little of Yotusya's Macross for some reason though.  They should hire him to design their artwork.   :cheers:

I thought the same thing. They mentioned that the Dynamo cabinet they used had 6 buttons but the game will only use three.

Shame it's a horizontal game... But it would go nicely with my Hellfire. ;D

I just found the sky curser web site and was checking to see if it was posted.

It look interesting. I wonder what the price will be.

$300 might be too rich for my blood.  I'm really excited to see this project though.

I'm more intrigued about this board that can run other games. That in itself might be worth investing in.
