Well, finally finished one of my long-time must have games, Berzerk. The only thing I have left to do is rewire the coin door, as the wiring is cut, twisted, hacked, spliced and had a credit button hacked in. I put in a rebuilt burn-free G07, polished up the marquee and bezel, and moved her into my Outer Limits wing. Pics:

I had to do some rearranging to fit it in the marquee spot:

It looks damn good, but your stencil work is all covered up with it tucked back in the corner. Put that bad boy on display on the end of a row!!

Of course all your games look immaculate.....you can't show them all off.
 
Oh well. I can't put them all on the end. Ironically, I restored neither the Burger time nor the Satan's Hollow. They're not perfect but they are in really nice original shape so I didn't feel the need.

Thanks. My daughter saw the new line up for the first time tonight and said: "Where am I? Friggin space?" (She is allowed to use the word 'friggin' only in the gameroom.) We then turned on the blacklights and played with the 'Moon in My Room', a remote controlled light up moon, about the size of a dinner plate. The remote allows you to click thru the phases from new to full. We were having a great time, and we never even turned on the games. The atmosphere in this room rocks.
 
The Berzerk looks amazing. The pics have given me the motivation to continue on with mine and to do some cabinet improvements as well.

Kudos for not re-doing a game that doesn't really need it.

Nice room!
 
Nice! Mine just made it to my game room as well and now has the multi-kit. I just need to repaint the coin door and wait for my new control panel. I think this is the only game I actually played 3 days in a row. I don't never get a chance to play my games right now, but I love Berzerk and I think this has to be one of my favorites.
 
Hey thanks guys. Yeah, I will prolly pull the game out to take a proper completed picture this week. When I got it done, the wife had the good camera, so I got impatient and just moved it into place and then shot some pics of it in the row with my old picture box. I love Berzerk. The game really brings me back to the Dreamland Roller Rink cir 1983. I guess that's what all of this is for when it comes right down to it. BTB, I laid down in the room with all the games on the other night and just smiled.

PS: Later on, when I was fully clothed and by myself, I was still smiling.
 
Nice. Looks great in there. Berzerk is a great game and the game I spend most time playing...although you'd never know if you looked at my pathetic scores. But the real truth is that I purposely score low so the game doesn't kill me like it did the two dudes in the 80's that scored high and were susequently murdered by Berzerk.
 
Hi, my high scores are in the 3-4,000's I can't get past the 2nd screen of white dudes. I miss the first shot they lob at me and then just freeze. I almost forgot, T-molding the 2 bump-outs around the CP really sucks. There were at least 4 staples that were buried in the t-slot that I had to get a small hack saw and cut before I could install it. Then there's the measuring, etc. Whew.
