The Konami Hornet Arcade Board! Don’t eBay While Drinking! A Legit Arcade Game I Didn’t Need

You know I love retro games and I love arcade games and I love Konami games...so of course I accidentally purchased a Silent Scope arcade PCB! It's def a bit of a hidden gem game as not many people talk about it any more...so lets do just that today! Konami was the king of arcades for a bit with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but their transition to 3D gaming was a bit difficult in spots! Retro Gaming history lesson coming up! Good thing the Konami Hornet works well under MAME emulation; I should probably do a MAME tutorial in the future eh?

Gradius IV is the most famous game to run on the Konami Hornet PCB but it also had Silent Scope and Silent Scope 2 as well as NBA Play by Play, Terraburst and Hang Pilot! It's a mix of PowerPC hardware and 3DFX Voodoo / 3DFX Voodoo 2 hardware! It could keep up in power with the Sega Model 2 arcade boards and got CLOSE to the Sega Model 3 arcade games like Daytona USA 2...sometimes!
