Cool video! The title screen is Astro Fighter in Japanese.

[@crogger1974]

Yes, the text literally says "Astro Fighter", I took a screenshot and put it through Google Lens!

[@RodriguezArcades]

Good video Shean

[@8bitpower]

Wow I didn't know you can repair Astro Fighter pcbs. I have 4 pcb sets total and a upright Astro Fighter cabinet. My 3 extra sets are dead though. You repaired an Atari Warlords board for me. I'll reach out to you again. Keep it up man!

[@suplects]

I've never heard of this game, I'm gonna find this in MAME. Great repair job!

[@NivagSwerdna]

@33:55 For addressing issues a NOP adapter and a digital signature gadget would be helpful.

[@Yoeddy1]

Amazing dude! Not a lot of these board sets out there.

[@utubechannel8670]

This is interesting, I'm working on an astro fighter restoration right now. The board set seems to work OK actually, it's the g07 that's giving me issues

[@russellpenner2523]

I have been offered a cocktail table but it is missing the monitor and dual power supply so the search is on for the latter as I have spare color CRT's.

[@classicarcaderepairs4818]

Hi Russell! What kind of power supply are you looking for? what is a dual power supply?

[@rricci]

If I remember correctly, even if a ship gets by you, as long as you shoot the last ship, your ship won't move up Even on easy, this game is tough..I wish it was easier

DataEast Japanese: アストロファイター Astro Fighter

[@toddmartin6572]

Reminds me of a galaxian home score screen with a gameplay like my sega Astro blaster WITHOUT the speech..

[@toddmartin6572]

I think this is a Japanese game
