I would say Xevious, I liked Zaxxon.
Maybe, but for 225 each and with Xevious working, I figured why not.

Picked up a sweet Vs. Super Mario Bros. on Friday morning! It sure seems to be all "original" (to the conversion sit), it has the updated model/serial plate on the back, all the wiring looks like the original conversion kit wiring, button assemblies are all intact (except for the center portion of 2 buttons. The marquee seems wonky — it looks cropped and stretched compared to other examples I've seen online… so not sure what's up there. The condition of the marquee is fine but it just looks bad. I'm tempted to order the awesome custom art set that Joe Szabo sells that matches the early 80s DK/Jr/DK3 art style.
Anyway, great game — it plays perfectly, sound is a little wonky, I'm researching that now, but otherwise in good working order. My son loves this version of SMB so he's looking forward to getting it into the lineup.
I paid $875 for it.

That game looks super cool.. You can hear Cyberball-ish sounds during the ship setup. Beautiful condition too. Did it come with complete manuals? I'd love to get a detailed look inside that cab.
Musicwise, Xevious. I couldn't even stand near that game BitD. The gameplay was fun, but it was audio torture.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
I have the Xevious theme as my phone ringtone, one mans torture is another's treat
