Dead Connection is one of those forgotten gems of the arcade world — a mobster-fueled, bullet-spraying classic from Taito that deserves way more respect. And thanks to the MiSTer FPGA, it’s running flawlessly on the brand-new Taito core by wickerwacka. Retro gamers, arcade fans, and FPGA enthusiasts… this one’s for you. 🎮

This isn’t just another arcade playthrough. It’s preservation in action. MiSTer FPGA nails the authentic hardware feel, giving Dead Connection the spotlight it never quite got in the arcades of the ‘90s. If you’re into mafia shootouts, retro gaming hardware, or just love watching pixels explode in style, you’re in the right place.

👉 If you enjoy seeing these forgotten arcade hits getting FPGA love, smash that like button and subscribe for more retro madness. Let’s keep the classics alive — one core at a time.
