Damn. So damn envious.

Was there ever a port for a home console? I never saw one.

Nope! It's an decent game but kind of mediocre for Konami. Japanese version is Trigon. It has some cool scaling effects though and borrows some sounds and stuff from other Konami shooters from the same era.

With that name, shouldn't you should be piloting a P-38?

Stool for my candy cabs

Cool Konami shooter PCB

One day (and that day is likely still far off) I will own cabinets as well.

Although if I ever come across a three-player Double Dragon III cabinet, I will go to the ends of the earth to get it!

Can you swap that Lighning Fighters over to a proper Trigon?  Trigon's appeal is the Trigon weapon pod, which was totally removed from the USA version, making it a rather generic go up and shoot game.

From what Ive read ts just a rom swap to switch to Trigon which I'll probably do. I like shooters with checkpoints especially for playing at home
