Jambo Safari in the house!

A friend got a Jambo Safari for free, and brought it to our gameroom after a four hour haul. For reasons not known to me I ended up as part owner! The game is in a good cosmetic shape, but the steering didn't work when he brought it in. 

It turned out the potmeter was stuck, so a couple of minutes of prying and some lube was all it took to get this baby fully working. (Somehow that sentence seems very wrong..)

And what a game it is! It didn't look like much in the beginning, but it's great fun! Think of it as a SEGA Bass Fishing on land, where you drive around Africa trying to catch lions, zebras, elephants and other animals. Much like in the more well-known fishing game, you throw a line to capture the animal, and you must keep the tension to reel it in. But not too much, or the line snaps.

I have been looking around eBay a bit for some other Naomi driving games (like Crazy Taxi) in case we get tired of Jambo Safari, but there's really no danger of that happening anytime soon.

Now if I could just get this song out of my head...
