Derek's Classic Top 50 Ranking: 21st All Time

Another great classic from one of my favorite Arcade years, 1981.

This game was programmed at Namco and bought by Midway. What I love about the Midway cabinets and my Solar Fox & Mappy will attest to this, is the abundance of artwork. Most game will have side art but very few will have front artwork and most if not all the Midways from this the years around 1981 have it. Very Cool...

The marquee, bezel, control panel and lower front artwork..

I must admit when I went to pick up the game (at the shipping co)  I was a bit astonished to see that it was only wrapped in cellophane. MY heart sank as I am sure it sustained a little damage but came through relatively unscathed...

Bummer that the wiring is hacked to put in a switching power supply and that they cut the ground off plug. I immediately replaced the power cord and made sure everything was grounded. People do not realize how important good grounding is...

Fortunately the game works great as is another great addition to my arcade...
