Be awkward when you need access to keyboard or mouse. Should of have a trackball mounted on that control deck

Some are better like Leaderboard, Aaargh!, some don't exist like Pharaoh's Match, all has support for two fire button joysticks. Maybe someone has Electrochoice MGX cabinet with very rare Electrocoi's titles like X Solder (Time Soldier), Mr. Do! or Zeta Force?

And if someone picks this unit up to mod for use as an Amiga, then please just get a generic JAMMA cabinet instead and wire an Amiga motherboard up to that. This is quite a rare piece of arcade history, so you're just devaluing it by making modifications. |

One of the pictures (http://safir.amigaos.se/bildgalleri/users2/15357_9.JPG) shows a daughterboard with EPROMs plugged into the 86 pins expansion connector. It's very easy to hijack the whole computer through the Autoconfig protocol right at start so it is likely that the computer was booting directly into these EPROMs. Interestingly they did not bother removing the kickstart ROM. Also, 8000 NOKs isn't that expensive: that's 22 NOK a day for a full year. Just stop drinking beers and it's yours. Last edited by Nekoniaow; 31 January 2015 at 05:16. Reason: Added annotated image |

Do you know if you look at the second picture of the cabinet, where it is shown outdoors, you could be sure that the marquee actually reads ElectroChoke.
