The site that use to host these images went down 2 years ago.
I managed to find a copy to bring here for future reference.
Note in the first picture of the cabinet, you can see "vertigo" on the screen. Also the guys smokin a pipe.

I found one site that claimed the roms had been dumped, but I think that is incorrect.

Some discussion about the game here:
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=163777
Supposedly someone sold a PCB a few years ago. There's also more pictures of the cabinet in the thread.
Did anyone ask H.R. Kaufmann, president of Xidy (current incarnation of Exidy), if they still have any boards or source code for any old games in storage? He's the one who allowed the Exidy ROMs to be put up for free download.

I checked YouTube for the program and couldn't find it, but in the CNBC documentary "Game On", there's a few seconds of Nolan Bushnell playing Vertigo. It's about 14-15 minutes in, and it does bear similarities to Tunnel Hunt/Tube Chase...

Smoking a pipe, eh? That's Nolan Bushnell. Whoever took these shots must have taken them from the same video that CNBC used in their "Game On" documentary (see my post below)...

Found the video... that's not the same Vertigo I played.
(I wished I had owned a camera when I was a kid)
I've played Vertigo at Bally's Great Escape in Lakewood; the one I played was in a full motion cabinet (btw... this is before Galaxy Force II).
I was talking to Gene at Vintage Arcade about it a couple months ago, and he remembers seeing the version I played at a tradeshow one year.
I wish I could describe it better, but the only thing I can remember is the cool cabinet, and it was vector. And that it was awesome, and I was sad when I went in one day and it was gone.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

Bumping this out of interest - I came across mention of Vertigo in a Twin Galaxies annual tournament manual (Video Game Masters Tournament) circa 1986. The manual specifies the required settings on the arcade game for competition, and for Vertigo it indicates that there are no possible adjustments that can be made to the game, and that one could add credits for fuel or continues:
"Pay very close attention to the start of the game. Players can very easily put more than one credit in the game to start giving extra fuel. Valid games will be one credit games starting at the beginning of the game with no continuation."
