Added two more to the collection: Battlezone and Asteroids Deluxe!

Hey Guys,

I'm getting two more games for my arcade which officially ends my arcade acquisitions for the year . . . yeah right, but that is the thought! I have to admit I'm nervous about these two games. Its Asteroids Deluxe and Battlezone. The reason I'm nervous is that they are vectors, the only reason I got these two were because they are black and white vectors which apparently are more reliable than the color vectors.

Several members on this site can vouch that I'm a bad luck charm when it comes to Vectors, I just hope these two stay fairly operational for me. I really just got the Asteroids Deluxe for my 3 year old son, he played it the other weekend and was able to pick the game up with easy, and easily beat my score I had put on the machine.

Battlezone because I love the graphics! I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance!

Thats my hope. I've played both and really enjoyed both games. The only thing I'm looking to change is to remove the periscope on the Battlezone. That will make it easier for me and my son to play.
 
There was a periscope conversion kit available to get rid of it but good luck finding it. There was a piece of art at the bottom that was in that kit too. If anyone would like I could remove mine for scanning and reproduction but I doubt there is enough interest.

I love the periscope thats the way I played it as a kid.. The Battlezone in my house has the periscope, but now im 6'6 and it hurts my back after awhile looking thru it.. I picked up a open face in Seattle last weekend, got it working last night.. I really like the way it plays.. I will prob keep both..

Nice score great games...

I'm almost the same height as you so I completely understand about it hurting your back! I'm really looking forward to getting both games!
 
Congrats on the two great pickups. And another non-periscope convert here. I was lucky and had both versions side-by-side for a while and the periscope version was one to leave.

Between my back and the kids being too short to play... it was an easy choice. :)
 
I have the complete kit to convert from the periscope to the direct view. PM me if you are interested.

PM sent! Thank you so much!

Yeah I think I'm going to end up getting the conversion kit for mine! I want my kids to be able to play it as well!
