Gor here through Pete's video (onaretrotip). Arcade cabinets are a kind of magic really. I own two old hack jobs, but they work. I subbed to your channel. I'm amazed at the number and quality of your cabs!

Another great video, liked seeing what other games you had setup on this cab - kind of makes me want a cocktail cab :) - Looking forward to the next video.

Bomb Jack needs up on a joystick, so you can jump higher.

I just drove 5 hours to acquire a sweet Moon cresta cocktail,and I was curious-is there anyway to share what wiring,joystick,and game module you used for this mod? I powered this one up,and it sputtered out some sounds before going the main screen,then I added quarters and when I selected player 1,it cycled back to the home screen. So,I'm thinking of going with a 100/60/etc in 1 as well,and was just curious about a direction to go perhaps. Bravo on your series btw,I dig what ya do.🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

David Fishe Hi David, what version is you’re Moon Cresta e.g US, Euro, UK I Would go a 60 in 1 board, just make sure you’re connector is Jamma, if not then can get a convertor... I think you’re main Game PCB is faulty.. as long as the monitor and power supply is fine then just put a multi game board in there.. then you get the benefit of other games too . I hope this helps Cheers JL

I just rescued a moon cresta cocktail. The joystick panel doesn’t look like yours. Mine is by Potomac

They were difference depend on the who licensed it for the region.

It seems much harder to play than Galaga, due to enemies' various movement patterns.

[@HotDogRock]

I can hear you pounding away at the shoot button. That works in later games like Star Force where the more you hit the button the more shots you fire off. But in these earlier shooters you can't rapid fire, there is a limit to how often you can shoot, so it's a much more successful strategy, for me anyways, to try and time your shots, line the shots up to where you expect the enemy to be. I don't mean to criticize, but it it was kind of driving me nuts, like I'm there in the room with you and I just can't stand to let you go on like that.

[@giddygoon73]

You right of course, Moon Cresta is crazy hard, and i do approach it like Galaga 😄
