Thank you! These are my first Cave PCBs, looking to get more in the future for sure.

Feeling so great to play the originals, finally.

I never liked Death smiles or Akai katana.. I played them quite a lot on xbox years ago 'to make sure'... I was certainly not going to pay for the pcb's.
The only hori Cave stg I have is Progear.. Cheap and hits the spot for sure.. A true classic.

Thanks! Definitely, Espgaluda II and Death Smiles will be indeed next purchases! Love Death Smiles on my PS5 and Steam/Steam Deck.

Astrophotography is my first hobby. Hence the books

Thanks, yeah feel so lucky to find these excellent PCBs in such a great condition!

Other genres were stealing my gaming time over the years and astronomy and astrophotography is my other hobby, so no hobby monies left but recently decided to spend the coin and get the arcade titles I want and replay before it’s too late. I grew up playing arcades. Big arcade scene in my highly touristic hometown.

Progear is definitely high in my list. Neo Gold. The art style of this game is phenomenal! And yes, the price atm seems very good.

I don't often post about pcb's i buy...but tbh, this one has always been a firm favourite of mine...so in the past i bought it on release on JPN MD, then a little later on...i picked it up on the pc-engine Hu card for a song...think it was £120!!..but these days commands over £600!?...
I never owned the pcb...it was always one i missed ...had Truxton 2 years ago!..but not the original first release..until Hasuki helped me out!..many thanks & a great price too...shame i got stung for £57 on import duty...but hey, its still a bargain!..
I was sure i'd not ordered the Arch de Triumph Lego kit!?

Taking control is a superb Riddled TV jamma switcher...i love this old skool cab...for my old timer STG's!!
Tremendous musical scores & nice parallax scrolling...SFX are spot on..plays far better than the cramped home versions..at last my own actual original pcb!..
And for me...this is what its all about....i played this as a kid...but was Truxton...takes me back.

[Icarus]

Great pick up Neo Gold! PCB looks in very good condition too.

Thanks, i was eager to play it...so today i made that plywood mount for both Tatsujin and Outzone..its in superb nick considering its a 1988 pcb!...bonus the JPN vers too.
All i did was dust it off and clean the edge connector with servisol and cotton buds....never did get chance to remove the tatty label on the central microprocessor
22:12...i'm off to have a few more blasts on this one!.
Btw...someones nicely replaced a Cap to the right side...darker blue one...talking of caps, make sure you check your'e pcb's folks...for leakage/bulging.
I got a DDPDOJ...tEH One inside blue metal case....battery was JUST starting to go furry...so i replaced instantly for the exact same item, also on that particular board i noticed all of the black caps had bust slightly on the weak spots....so i replaced for exact nichicon caps...you simply cannot neglect these old electrical artifacts!
Thought the sound was abit off on that one...once i replaced the caps...it was crystal clear.

Updated my little Taito corner with an Arkanoid flyer, and a Tournament Edition plug 'n' play kit from HSS (thanks to @psykom1 for sorting me out and letting me know)

Unfortunately, I'm still totally and utterly rubbish at it

Get that SI panel backlit.

[wigsplitta]

Aww yeah, a 50mm drill bit would do the job nicely

Also, thank you, it was a very nice freebie you included a while back

I see my Space Invaders sign has been on its travels again...

[NASguy]

Can you use Time Soldiers with that Arkanoid stick

a spinner works for rotary games, but the rotation just doesn't feel stepped.
