   Generic is certainly what the user reviews of Sega Rally Revo seem to be   
   labeling it as.  I figure if there aren't thugs with tatoos and a   
   million menu options to tweak the cars with it'll be considered generic.   
     The only "arcade" racers people want to buy in the US must have   
   spectacular crashes and ragdoll physics for the launched drivers.  Pure   
   action just isn't good enough.

   I've been meaning to ask you something.  I snagged a Shinobi arcade   
   cabinet recently.  The board works, I have sound and can confirm that   
   the controls work with that, but I can't get video.  I can hear the   
   monitor power on, and I can even hear the screen flipping when I play   
   with the V range dials, but no picture.  Do you think this is something   
   that a Cap kit would solve, or should I check wiring first?
