It's pretty much what you would expect. Kinda. With a twist. The LCD is a typical game and watch type affair version of space invaders. Not bad, but very laggy (what you would expect). Basically you get 2 minutes play time for every coin you insert. (the twist!)

There is a "Try" setting but I thought the thing was bust when I put it on that. I've still no idea what that is meant to do. It certainly wasn't the "FREEPLAY" that I expected

Hehe. Sounds cool. Have you opened it up yet? If you're luck it'll be real ICs and not one of those SoS blobs of Silicon surrounded by epoxy. You might even get Bubble Bobble working on it by back-to-work time

The sad thing is that next to Andy, that looks like a full sized cab!
