Well, I've been a good boy for the entire first half of the year.


No cabs bought.



Not one.



But I couldn't pass on this on ! :

I must be insane.....my 2nd Asteroids bootleg.....

This one has one of the most weird CP's I've seen. Basically the whole thing doubles as a big ashtray !
The buttons are mounted angled inward, which in fact may be a very good idea to have good control....

There's a load of pics of another Asterock (not the one I bought !) on my good friend Andreas' site here:

Notice that the card-board bezel there is the original Atari one, which is not original on the Asterock....

It would be funny to have a row of these types of knock offs, puck man, asterrock, donkey king. hahah

Getting close: My Puckman has just been officially identified as a bootleg by Gevin from Italy. The Asterock is by Sidam of Italy and my Meteor is by HOEI International from Japan....

Here's a picture of the control panel which explains how it "works":

Another pic (this is _not_ my cab though, the bezel is the original Atari one):

This is a very funny picture, they used the Electrohome G05-802 but look at that Atari sticker.....

Puck Man isn't a knock off though. It is the original Namco title for the game we know as Pac-Man. :)
