Quoted from Anim8ormatt:

I've played the pinball arcade one a few dozen times and I just don't see the appeal that justifies this titles high price. Great sound and a fabulous looking machine though. I actually have a side art decal mounted in my game room.

It isn't a very good game. I had one set up in my gameroom for 6 months and didn't play it for the last 4 months of it being up there! Cactus Canyon Continued, however, makes it a GREAT game! I can't get enough of it now! After PAGG, it's leaving my collection, and I'll miss it! Eric didn't miss a beat with the upgrade. Switching to "Continued" is a no-brainer!

Congrats on your purchase!

Quoted from epthegeek:

While I don't know of anywhere that "shows" it - here's what's involved:
1. Get a P-ROC from multimorphic ($330)
2. Setup a computer to run it (or contact me, if you want a pre-built ready to run thing)
3. Install the P-ROC board in place of the CPU board
4. Plug in the computer
5. Do something about audio*
Step five gets complicated. You can either hack the existing audio board to have a line-in so that you can run the audio through the included speakers, or you can just use PC speakers. With a P-ROC setup the sound comes from the computer, not the pin, so it has to be dealt with.
Lots more details and info on the wiki (including how to do the audio mod): http://soldmy.org/pin/ccc

The link Eric provided should have all the info.

The P-ROC is easy to install, and the pre-built from Eric is the way to go. It's easy for me to say step five isn't that complicated because I had someone else do it, but if you have board soldering skills or know someone who does, it takes about 10 minutes to set up the audio through the included speakers.
