Picked up a couple of (new to me) games today. Frogger and Last Duel. I'd never seen or heard of Last Duel before pickup. Pretty neat verticle scrolling space shooter. Atari game identical to my Centipede cab. Not in bad shape & plays great. Monitor & colors are super! Frogger on the other hand...cab has alot of damage at the bottom edges. Looks like 90% is from being moved. It's got a horrible buzz for sound and many verticle lines on the monitor, but at least it has a picture. Something to start with anyhow. I've been out of the Arcade loop for a little while. Should be fun. My Wife says I have to get our bathroom remodel done before any more hobbies. Sigh.
 
congrats on the games. The frogger will be a fun one to piece back together. Alot of charm to that little cabinet. There's been some guy listing a Last Duel game locally for months now. If he were at a reasonable price range for it, I might call him on it.
 
Good score,i really enjoyed restoring my frogger.Next to my pins it gets the most play,the kids and their friends really tear it up.I don't know what it is about kids and playing in traffic,but they love it.
 
I know what you mean. My kids are pretty little & most games are too difficult for them. I thought Frogger would be a little easier & therefore more fun to them. I'd like to get a super mario brothers for them too.
 
Last Duel works and plays 100%. Currently set for free play. Not sure how to change it back yet. Frogger is complete but has issues. Had a picture (poor) at first, now nothing. No sound now either, just buzzing. I'll get to it sometime? Neither had keys. Not a problem. Used to work for a locksmith. Picked 'em open & found each had a service manual inside. Last Duel is a basic manual, but Frogger is super complete! I've not had a manual like this one before!

Looks great.

Frogger is a great cabinet and game. It's definitely not easy though. It's one of the most difficult classic games IMO.
 
I havn't the time or money right now to mess around with my games. I've been playing the ones I have during breaks from other projects (many, many breaks). I did some digging and found that my Last Duel was a Dig Dug cab with a Last Duel game kit installed. Thought it looked funny inside at first but didn't give it any thought since it played well. It's an Atari cab (dig dug one the door). Looks to have the original monitor & G07. Original power supply on the bottom (only running the monitor). Peter Chou PS running the coin mechs and last duel (jamma) board. I can see where an audio board was attached, and where the original game board was attached to the side. Havn't been logged in here in awhile. Thought I'd update ya'll.
