I love Moon Patrol. Its on my list. There was one in my "Back In The Day" arcade in '82. Very fun and challenging game.
 
that looks like it is in really nice shape...did you get it from a collector or was it just in the wild like that? I played the hell out of that back in the day...and about every port you can name of it as well lol...the Apple IIe version was great for its time.
 
I can't recommend Souzilla's high score save kit enough. Really helps the replay value.

Was not aware of that, thank you for the link!

It belongs to EagleTG, it is "in my care" :). It came in from the wild I think. It's got some bumps and bruises, but works great!

It was a heavily routed game, came from an operator who was taking coin-drop on it as recently as a few years ago. He sold it to another operator who was running it at one of his locations until about two years ago. It's been sitting for the last couple of years. Time for it to belong to a collector and live out it's retirement, it had a very long run "in the wild".

Works perfectly, needs some relatively basic cosmetic work.

Edit: Forgot to mention, this is one of my all-time "must have" games. So glad it's finally in the collection. I've been trying to pry it out of the second operator's hands for the past three or four years, even when it was still on location. This one was the culmination of a lot of begging and pleading. :)

Great game, nice condition! That's one of those games I would consider trading out for someday.
 
Awesome! The side art on your machine looks to be in exceptionally good shape, at least compared to most Moon Patrols out there.
 
Nice score... If I could only have 3 games to play forever, it'd be Robotron, Defender and Moon Patrol.

Mine would be Ms. Pac-Man (with the speed-up), Shinobi, Moon Patrol. Ooh, can we have 4? I'd also want Tetris. If we are going for 5, I'd take Jr. Pac-Man with the speed-up.
