This has been a long time search for me, but finally landed a very minty, all #'s matching Gravitar, it took some time but I talked DJDNS into selling me this one. I had to ship this one from Virginia to Florida, but it was well worth it. This thing is sweet!! It also included a NOS CPO to even make it better, even though the stock one isn't really all that bad. This will be going in my Atari Vector row next to my quantum, followed by my Dedicated Major Havoc and Star Wars.

Only thing is I have some fuzziness in the WG6100, so of course it's going to need to be rebuilt, but I pretty much expect that with any vector I buy now days :) I replaced big blue as soon as it got here and that made a big difference, but not enough. Gotta love Vectors.

I've always loved the artwork on this machine, I think it's some of the best original artwork ever done by Atari. I also love the gameplay, I have played this game for hours on my Arcade Legends 2 machine, which prompted me to get an original cab.. and to play it in all it's glory in Vector format. It's a very tough game to master, but I've enjoyed taking the time to try and master it.

This game is my absolute favorite classic game that fits into a category of games that I never played in the 80's but absolutely love to play now..

Here's the pics:

Wow that machine is getting some miles on it. Darryl got it from me last time he was up here. Really wish I would have kept it.

When I first saw it in Darryl's collection, he didn't want to sell it since it was so nice, but it did take some time to work out a sale with him.. you don't see Gravitar's this nice very often. You can rest assured that this will be getting a lot of gameplay and will be well taken care of as part of my Atari Vector collection and is in good company with a Qauntum, Dedicated Major Havoc, and Star Wars.

And you can always come visit it if you come through Tampa if you'd like! :)
 
Congrats thats a really nice machine, I'm happy it made it in to Fl. too, that's a game you don't find often here.
