Just made you one myself using MAME and VLC. It's about 75 seconds, could prob be shorter.

EDIT: The file isn't great, the video produced by MAME is offset to the left (black bar on right). I think this is a bug to do with the original game using multiple resolutions (480i menus, 240p game, I think). I cut the first 30 seconds (it's just game starting up) using VLC but it seems to take much longer to start playing than other preview videos in Attract-Mode... if you have video editing software (and I suspect you do) you can probably fix both things... I don't have any editing software as I've never made a video (although I do sometimes consider making some videos of ARpiCADE/RaspberryJAMMA for youtube...).

Thank you Dee2er...

Using your video, I cleaned up the crop.. stretched to proper proportions... and cut out the beginning going right to gameplay...

Whoever wants it can get it here:

With your permission I'm going to submit it to emumovies...

If I was being picky (I am not ... just mentioning it ... ) I'd request one with sound.

lol, I hadn't actually noticed. The avi MAME produced had audio, I've lost it converting to mp4. I'll upload the originaal avi if you like. Maybe you can work your magic on it and mp4 it too.
EDIT: the avi is 5 gig so may take a while... under 300 meg zipped:

I didn't notice either until I added it to the cabinet and tested.

;)

Will work on this one.

EDIT: And since this is going to be uploaded to emumovies I'll do a 640x480 and 320x240 version.

No... thank YOU for making the vid. :)

The best I could find was the intro on Youtube.
