History of RUSH THE ROCK.. My favorite arcade video game.

Pinball Doctor Coin-Op Amusement Repair and Maintenance (406) 545-4824 (Let it Ring!) Posted on March 2, 2016 by pindocMarch 2, 2016

I stumbled across this technical history on my favorite game of all time:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/118990/Classic_Postmortem_Atari_Games_San_Francisco_Rush_Extreme_Racing.php

I just love this game for all the reasons in the article. It is my hope to one day have 6 or 8 seats in a climate-controlled trailer to rent out. Even though Mario Kart would probably be a better candidate, I love Alcatraz so much that I would choose it over an even more profitable game. I owned a pair of these and sold them to a local guy 2 years ago. There is one at Bones arcade here in Billings that has crappy steering but is otherwise good. And I just finished up repairing a customer’s machine that will be found in Thermopolis Wyoming soon.

In the meantime, I’m testing, testing, testing……

This is what a burned trace looks like on a Bally solenoid driver board.

I just picked this up at auction.It has a 13″ hitachi monitor with the neckboard snapped in half because the monitor was loose during transporation to the auction. This beautiful cabinet will be converted to a multi-game if someone doesn’t save it from it’s fate. Does anyone need a Trivia Whiz JAMMA board?
