I love the rumble of those machines.
:cheers:

Just a note though....... you're missing the "step" at the base of it

Post by: Kevin Mullins on September 12, 2007, 12:53:06 am: You could try the RGVAC group for the step also.
Amazing how many of those machines are missing that.
(including mine)

Does yours have the correct blacklight in it?
Seems alot of those were changed out with standard white lights for some reason.

Post by: Texasmame on September 12, 2007, 08:18:31 pm: Ah, nice. One of my three fav games.

I had a very nice one back in the day.

Hints for gameplay:

Turn the volume WAY up - so you can hear the shots in the distance.
Turn the brightness up to JUST BEFORE you get all the trace lines - that'll help see saucers and tanks in the most distant regions.

Enjoy - great, great game!

My shroud is fine..... just missing the step. :-\
Just odd how many of those machines are issing the step.
They're kinda unstable without it too because they are so tall and narrow without it.

Fun projects though.
