Hey, that's a pretty sweet looking machine! I have always been a big fan of this game (I just played it on MAME yesterday, in fact), and had forgotten how good the cabinet could look in a dark room. Congrats on another great find.

Y'er killing me, Mike, with all these great finds.

I know, but the bad part is I need to sell some to make room for more, so the collection isn't growing. And I have to part with games that I don't want to part with.
I had to sell my Atari Video Pinball, to make room for the SW Tril. But I think I will play it more.
Well, look at it this way: at least you're parting with games in order to get other games. I had to sell my Dragon's Lair and Star Wars cockpit just to pay the rent when I got laid off in 1999. A decade later, I still miss those games so much I could cry. Daphne plays a very decent game of Lair, but I just can't play Star Wars without the flight controller.

While the cabinet and everything is nice, I was always enamored with the gameplay. It's probably in my top two favorite and most played arcade games today along with Pooyan, which is somewhat odd considering they're both thematically opposites (though still "shooters").
I hear you. There's obviously not much to the cabinet (at least not like Satan's Hollow), but owning a favorite would certainly be a rush. I of course play both games on my MAME cabinet. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to make the room for either stand alone machine. The only stand alone I'd probably consider would be a World Series Baseball, but that's mostly because of the unusual control panel (which for me, makes the game).
