Found this on FB marketplace with my morning coffee. I've seen alot of AD conversions, but I've never seen anyone attempt this conversion before. Lol.
Makes you wonder how well the parts line up (after all they are all Atari). And how long it took to do this, and still make it functionally sound. Weird.

We are looking at a similar feed. Did you happen to catch this gem? Looks like explosive diarrhea plastered all over the bottom of this Galaxian. Suddenly, the AD becomes much easier on the eyes.

Asteroids deluxe is such an underrated game. So much better than asteroids, beautiful cabinets and the reflection effect they use is so cool. Such a shame people can't handle a challenge and coin ops ruined these cabinets. Centipede is great too but I'm partial to asteroids deluxe and I own both cabs. Also yeah that picture of the converted galaxian either has a spilled chocolate milkshake in there or some homeless drug addict went liquid ass in there for whatever reason, real nasty either way. I really do think that's shit in there though, I've definitely met some unsavory people in my life who would do that. Looks like they opened the coin door and let loose

Hell yes, agreed totally....mean as a MF...but awesome and beautiful!
 
Well from an ops point of view, AD stopped earning by the crash in 83. Centipede earned into the 90s. Maybe you have a damaged pede cab and a warehouse full of AD cabs collecting dust, there you go.

The full art one that humdinger posted looks great. Like that cab better than the centi or milli cabs.

I will admit that one does look nice, someone took the time to do it right. I guess ops never thought people would care about this stuff 40 years later, the primary objective of these machines was to make money so I do understand. Were you a coin op back in the day?

Nah just thinking on why it would have been done. AD is great, love the depth created by the mirrored monitor.
 
Centipede would look awesome with a background like AD. I understand raster vs. vector, but I can still envision a bunch of mushrooms as a soft background.

Cabinets were commonly converted into games to make more money.

This doesn't seem interesting or unusual.
 
Interesting, don't think I've seen that conversion before. Especially since Centipede was either never a kit or was a rare kit, so this was probably a transplant more than a conversion.

I think Centipede is a work of art all around, from gameplay to sounds to cabinet design and artwork!

I don't think it would remain looking like this after any amount of time. That is still shiny and brown. It would have broken down quickly.

We don't know how fresh the photo is. It could be some kind of paint maybe as well but why the hell would you spill brown paint in a galaxian? Doesn't make sense why it'd be there, I can see some unsavory person though opening the coin door and spraying their fentanyl xylazine bowels everywhere. It looks wet still we agree on that, probably is fresh whatever it is.

I get it... that shit is funny.

However, fresh shit would not have that sheen for more than a few hours. That is only fresh enough for the seller to have done it right before the pickup.
