Stumbled across a @lgr-yt.bsky.social video while researching a repair, seems we have similar taste 😎
My cab is somewhat similar to LGR's Dynamo, but built by Aussie arcade giant LAI.
I have the common squealing audio problem, waiting for a replacement HB-45A hybrid module to fix it.
Great game

Sega TeraDrive -- A joint venture between Sega and IBM, combining a 286 PC with VGA, and a Sega MegaDrive. Unlike Amstrad MegaPC, the PC and MD are on the same board, and are connected through a bus arbitrator, and can access each other's HW.

I love a good IRL reference to a retro game, but imagine my surprise seeing one on the wall of a men's room in a tavern in suburban Brisbane! 🤣🤣🤣

Can a $4300 (in 1993 dollars) "budget" UNIX workstation run Doom? Just barely it turns out.
Sun SPARCclassic, 50MHz microSPARC.
~10.5fps, but the 1% lows were perhaps 2 or 3.
At least the timedemo doesn't desync here, which is more than can be said for sgidoom!

Sorting out the shelves, came across my 2 oddball Space Quest games, thought I'd share!
SQ1 VGA, for Amiga, under the KIXX XL budget label.
Sierra Value Pack, feat. SQ2, Thexder, and 3D Helicopter Sim. Despite being a cost reduced bundle, you still got the cool colour comic Space Piston feelie!
