1  Arcade and Pinball Discussions / General Arcade and Video Game Discussions / Would you restore Marine Boy? on: February 28, 2017, 04:09:10 pm
Hi everyone! I'm new to collecting and just picked up a Ms Pac-Man and a Marine Boy as a pair. I was pretty disappointed to find out Ms Pac-Man was a bootleg, but it's fun to play and that made it worth the time spent to fix the board. I can't find ANYTHING on Marine Boy, though, so I'm having a hard time deciding if I should put the time and money into fixing the board and refurbing the cabinet for the sake of restoring something rare or special, or if I should just convert it into something my family will enjoy. The board looks legit - it's an Orca OVG-51E/OVG-54F. Power supply and monitor work - suspect board problem. There is a Marine Boy marquee, no side art ("wood" laminate), Marine Boy instruction card. Is this worth restoring? Is the game even fun? Thanks for any advice or suggestions.
