When I first obtained this cabinet it was a Main Event.
I noticed the back manufacturing sticker read Dark Adventure.
So I began piecing it back together, took like four years just to find the game board.
Sanded and painted the white with an Alkaloid to give it that original laminate white look.
The original laminate was yellowed badly and had scuffs and dings.
I still need new black T-molding, make a map button, fix the bezel and of course most importantly side art.
Any ideas where to get a good quality scan of the side art so I can get it printed?
I have looked at some stores online but none have this game listed.
Thought maybe you all would know if anyone.

Such a great game. So difficult, it is perfect for a home environment. I remember my only time ever seeing this game on route was in the late 80's at the arcade in the Florida Mall while I was on vacation with my family. They had it featured dead center in the front of the arcade. I ended up getting a PCB and a control panel about 15 years ago. Never did find a cabinet, but I did see a local with a dedicated one. I sold my stuff long ago now. Have fun with the game, nice to see this one come back to life.
 
Yeah everyone that sees it is always like " never heard that game before "
And these are other arcade guys.
It is a weird random game for a collection, i never heard of it either until I started piecing this one back together.
Reminds me of a gauntlet type game, ,cool three player game.
 
I have looked for sideart several years now. No luck. The posters are out there but unable to find the golden circle art for the sides.

Looks great! I played DA at an arcade across the street from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in the late 80s, and loved it. That was the only place I ever saw it.

I do have the marquee in my collection, though.

Kyle :cool:
