Never even heard of SegaSonic Bros or Metal Black Extra before. It would be interesting to hear the stories behind these boards and how you came across them. :)

Amazing blog shou :) i have never heard of segasonic bros before i wonder how many other jamma games where not put into production due to poor location
testing.
Those magazine screenshots of acurio are new to me but the game looks decent so i hope a pcb still exists of this lost game.

Cool Shou to see the 38" screens, they look very nice.
Couple of years ago we in Sweden imported some 39" Flat monitors from Rodotron, very heavy.

Are you implying that there is a warehouse somewhere in rural Japan that is stacked with unreleased but ready for distribution arcade games. :-o
