"No but my dad does, can't even sit on the toilet some days"
😭

Game pops up this summer on FB marketplace, 10 minutes away. I'm on it, a couple hundred for a cleanish original non working Asteroids is a steal nowadays. She says she doesn't want someone to buy a broken game and tells me someone is coming to look at it... Well that's over... I told her I collect and broken is fine, let me know.. nothing.
Out of the blue months later she is gonna relist it and reaches out. I'm in!

Plays blind, has neck glow and spot killer on. Get it home and no x out. Got help replacing a few chips in the xy and it works! Control panel art was half gone and painted over, put on a cpo and new leaf buttons. Found an original coin box with lid, 2 new bayonet bulbs in the door. Other than that I believe it's stock. Oldest game I've owned. And the deep sounds this puts out is amazing!

I haven't played this in an arcade cabinet since I was like 8. Man this game is hard, and hard on your wrists 🤣 I watched the video of the end of Johnny setting the 58 hr WR in 2010.. absolute insanity. I don't know if it's a keeper or not but she's a classic, and now I've got Asteroids!Screenshot_20251101_171050_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20251101_170914_Gallery.jpg20251101_171146.jpg
