I think I remember this game down at some arcade I visited during my vacation to Sunnyvale, CA; at an arcade called "Golfland", I believe. Anyways, I find the game to be good, actually. Something else to whore for once other than the RFJ machine they had there.

To resurrect this thread one final time:
MAME 0.112u2 should fully support this game. It is completely dumped, fully playable and even runs at a perfect 60fps on a decent machine.

I recall seeing this Wyvern Wings shown at the 2003 & 2004 California Extreme shows (when it used to be hosted at the San Jose convention hall back in the day -- nowadays, it's hosted at the Santa Clara convention hall). Sacramento Amusements was showing it off on "Free Play" during both days of the '03 & '04 CAX shows -- I do remember that they wanted $350.00 usd for a brand new kit complete with included full-sized arcade marquee. Pretty cool arcade stg pcb with the re-usage of Psikyo's Strikers 1945 series sprites theme going on throughout the entire gaming ordeal. Eventually, I saw that ebay seller gameboardsoc1234 was selling brand new NOS Wyvern Wings pcb kits for a mere $50.00-$70.00 usd back in the day and bought one from him. Still have it to this very day.

Here's the Game Vision Corporation's Wyvern Wings arcade flyer listed on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165596603298?h ... R6yy7eiCYQ

Interesting to learn that Game Vision Corp. was based out of Oakland, CA back in the day.
