It's a great useful cabinet. I had one. It's not a bad game either. Does it have continues?

it does but it starts you back at checkpoints which keeps it hard.

Is the buyer asking $150 or is that the price you settled on?  If it's the former I would offer $100 and see where it goes.

I have one.  Great basic cab.  I think it is a really good starter cab.  Black cab, simple side art, simple CP overlay, all makes for a great first restore. 

The game is quite challenging, but relatively short.  Can be beaten in about 15 minutes or so.
