To be honest I thought you were on about a cab a bit like The Ninjawarriors, with one monitor facing you and the other pointing upwards next to it towards a mirror. I'm sure there's a horizontally scrolling shooting game uses that setup like one of the Gradius games or something.

Probably thinking of Darius which has 3 screens and Darius 2 which has 3 or 2 screen option and of course Darius Burst, but they are all side by side, Wyvern F-0 overlayed the picture of the 2 screens together to give a 3d effect.

I had a “P’s Attack” a double gun game by Uniana from new in 2005 ish for about 15 years . one owner only . I think it suffered time data (suicide) chip failure and it got sold spares/repair if I recall could have been to Lukey13 on here ? But it was eBay so may have been another buyer?

I had never seen or heard of another it was quite brilliant , alien peas running a mock all sorts of places fun to play but not popular in the arcade… so I probably lost money on it & would say pretty rare ?

Most likely been converted to another game now ? but cab was like new still . With manual inside.

This is the picture from the Yahoo Auctions Japan listing.

That Mame guru dumping bellend won it and then took the PCB and has the cabinet destroyed. Twat.
It's great he dumped the eprom files for everyone to enjoy (and has dumped a huge amount of pcbs over the years) but why on earth would he destroy a rare cabinet? Why not re-sell the whole cab with pcb after it's dumped? Was it simply shipping costs? Nobody in Japan could have dumped it there?

Would love to hear more about this as it's shocking someone so knowledgeable of arcade history would do that.

Does anybody own the spinny Wec Le Mans deluxe cabinet? I know one surfaced a few years back in poor condition so there has to be a few remaining.

In Japan rare items come up when contractors are clearing out buildings that have been mothballed for decades due to the lease running out after the owner passes away, the issue is they will junk anything which does not get immediate bidding on the auction sites within a few days.

Full set of 4 x Gundam Battle pods was going for £1500 recentlyo_O

I can remember seeing it really well but I can't even remember if I played it? I'm sure I would have but I have no memory of playing it. I don't think it moved but can't be sure. I feel like I seen it there for 2 years running as we used to go there every summer and sometimes for the illuminations.
