Got this off of Craigslist today, love the game, it is a bit obscure, but still fun. It needs a new marquee light, but other than that, it's fine.

Hopefully this is the first of many. :)

Wow, that is an obscure one. I looked it up on KLOV.com, and I don't recall ever seeing that one in action before. How does it play? Is it a 'slide and shoot' with a weird theme?
I don't know about you, but spiders creep me the hell out, so if I were in your position I'd buy a couple more arcade games to put on either side of it to cover up the gigantic tarantula side art. At least that'd be the excuse I'd use when I was buying a couple more arcade cabs. :)

Yep, it's a slide and shoot game, I would describe it as a mix of Galaga and Missile Command.
The side art is actually pretty cool, and the demo mode of the game shows a massive purple spider engulfing the entire screen. Every three levels, a portrait of what the manual calls the "Space Mona Lisa" appears during intermission.
This cab is pretty clean on the inside, I would have thought it pretty fitting yet gross to find spiders in a Spiders cabinet. LOL

Never heard of it either. I wish I had the room for more games, because if I found something obscure like this I'd be more likely to give it a home. A cap kit in order, or any other preventative maintenance, or is the light all you'll be doing?
Anyway cool find.
And I may as well link it while I have the page up. Here is the KLOV entry SteveW mentioned for all the lazy people.

I know I've played this in mame before. Reminded me a lot of Centipede. Congrats on the find.

Fixed the light just now, nothing left to do but play it. :)
