Badspot should do a thing where he browses the forums and commentates while he does it
Badspot must live near me I looked up arcade machines near me and got this. It has the same mix and match buttons and same game it has to be the one he bought I figure. http://corvallis.craigslist.org/vgm/3244584485.html
I can tell by the internal wiring, buttons, etc that this is fairly modern, mid to late 1980's.
Mid 80's wouldn't be modern for an arcade game. This game came out in 1998. It's got 3d graphics and stuff.
I used to play it in arcades its a crappy game because your health bleeds off as you play so skill or not you have to put in more coins pretty fast to get anywhere in it.
I want to take and get myself one of those machines and rig it so you don't have to pay for each game.
You can turn off the health decrease timer in the game options.
You can turn off the health decrease timer in the game options.Almost every machine has a freeplay mode you can set either through dip switches or some option screen when you boot in service mode. Alternatively you can look up the spec sheet for the coin acceptor and figure out what wires you have to short together to get the machine to think a coin's been put in and wire them both up to a button.
Ah damn you should put up spoiler alert now I know what those buttons in video 2 do already ):
