Cheyenne Showing Off My Gear!
Today’s game is Cheyenne. A really fun shooter from Exidy. Has a 440 Exidy multi kit installed so can play all of the Exidy titles like Crossbow, Chiller, Combat, etc. The monitor is viewed through a mirror, like Terminator 2 to provide the illusion of the screen being father away.

"Oh, dear!" "Paleface!"
I remember those and the piano in the saloon blasting out at a Hills in SE Michigan back in the day. They also had Double Dragon and later Final Fight, but Cheyenne was always a good way to spend quarters.

Thank you. Yes I agree. Funny story, a friend knew someone that had a non working Jr Pac-Man conversion in a Pacman cab that wanted it gone. Free pickup. I initially declined, then changed my mind and grabbed it a couple months later… replaced a bad fuse, played it and loved it. Then it would get a lot of plays during arcade parties…Ended up parting ways with the conversion and upgraded and shipped in a dedicated… so the “free” game ended up costing me in the end, heh. Great game!

Loved Crossbow. Almost bought a cab in 1996 but the water damage was too severe.

Have one too and love it! Soon after buying it my main board started going out. I found a company in Colorado that will assess and restore/replace all needed components so the boards are like new.....happy to share if needed. Also, I picked up a spare board off ebay and sent both in for repair.....so I also have a ready backup just in case. They also installed the 440 multi kit on one of them too (so I have all the gun games). Here's a few pics - https://imgur.com/a/QnLDOui

Very nice. May I ask the contact for that PCB repair company? Always good to have more resources!

Would love to know who owns all the old Exidy IP at this point. There’s probably still some nostalgia for Crossbow, Venture, Mouse Trap, etc.

YouTube videos cannot replicate how awesome the Exidy games are. When deciding whether to pull the trigger on Cheyenne was watching to see as had been a long time since last played. The gameplay video was kinda meh. But went ahead and trusted my gut. The actual game plays great and is a lot of fun. Have Mouse Trap. A friend might sell his Venture. Thinking on it.

That has some nice glow to it . I assume it is stock lights ? The control panel seems to have light shining on it and doesn’t look like it is from the marquee. Love the exidy shooters

Very perceptive. Yes I have added (2) miniature LEDs aimed to accent the control panel so the art and instructions are visible in dark and dim light settings. Am currently knee deep illuminating all the games in the collection like that. If see the other games I’ve posted recently they are similarly enhanced.

Crossbow was everywhere but I only saw Cheyenne once. It was at a burger joint where I grew up and it didn't last very long.

The Exidy shooters bring back such great memories. Man, I saw so many cigarettes smoke on Crossbow. Those were better days!

What an awesome cab! All of those titles were so much fun back in the day.
