Good job, looks like the cabinet is in overall ok condition!

Now who of you Rolling Thunder owners is the best player? lets see some hiscores posted 

Well...... I hold the World Record on MAME with a score of 1,023,380....

Wow, $1,000 for just the cel!

The background is a basic copy.

I posted my collection in a thread a while back: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1325.0

The was a cabinet (without PCB) on Jamma+ a couple of years ago, that did not sell at all.

Started at a sensible price, then dropped to £50, the was free and still no takers. Eventually got smashed up 

We do!

We recently got back from Florida and loved it.

Following in the footsteps of my recent video of the day compilation, here is what we got up to:

Directly clicking on "play" from that link it's a bit grainy and jumps alot on my machine. May want to download it first.

I don't frequent here as much as I used to, but thought I'd share my 2012/2013 with you guys as I know you all like a documented event!

Back in 2012 I saw someone had done a whole year of their life in video snippets. I decided to do the same, so, starting a bit late (Feb 23rd) I started.

This is my 2012, and a bit of 2013, in video clips.

Thought some of you might enjoy. It certainly brings a smile to my face

See if you can spot all the video games I slipped in there.

Is it possible to embed a YouTube video on here?

Still not sure what to think about the 8043. The remote control kicks ass, but the scoops and the linear actuators kind of make it hit and miss. They had to figure out remote controlled pneumatics with double-length cylinders! So IMO it's in the shadow of the Unimog, my king of the Technic hill, others say the 8043 is the best ever.

I enjoyed putting the 8043 excavator together more than the Unimog and enjoy messing about with it more. Funnily enough I prefer the linear actuators rather than the pneumatics. With the pneumatics everything is too jerky, the crane drops way to fast unless you get the controls perfect which requires totally small precise movements of the controls. When my kids have a play with it there is no chance of that happening

The other thing with the Unimog is they went to all the trouble of getting the tranmission and engine pistons working when you push it along but no remote control to move it around like with the 8043.

It just does not look right, wrong colour (yellow) and again.... that fugly scoop.... I miss the quality scoops from the past. Same with the new 42009 crane... That one is not right either. Give me the first telescope crane you showed.

haha, I put together all my old technic sets with my son, photographed them and then sold them on EBay. 1 fella bought the lot, got over £160 for those 3 sets
