Since I am about to join this fraternity, I'd like to know who's all got 'em too.. I know Wick has one.
 
I do believe I have one. Bought it working at auction years ago and have been restoring it ever since. I should spend less time on the panels maybe :)
 
I got mine last October and restored/restenciled it November/December. My favorite game from BITD, and the one that I remember the most from the Dreamland Roller Rink in Long Prairie, MN.

Phet you are lucky to have these memories. I have no memory of playing this game outside of the Atari 2600. Then, after joining this forum, I remember seeing a YouTube vid of someone's arcade, and I started hearing a robotic voice.. I was like WTF wuzzatt!!!! And sure sh!t, it was Berzerk. It went on my "gotta get" list immediately.

I never played the arcade version either. In the early 80's I lived in a small mining town that got very few arcade games. I did play Berzerk and Omega Race on my 2600 all the time. They are currently two of the favorite arcade games in my collection.
 
I'm buying Sully's, which is slated for transport Tues or Wed of next week, so I'll be joining soon. I'm psyched since it has the original bat joy too. So psyched, in fact, I just bought a BZ black light tee from Rich at ThisOldGame.

I don't know what this stick is. I've just read it should have an 8-way optical. Please elaborate.

And now I have to go Tee shirt shopping! Crap!!
 
I drove 250 miles last night to pick up a Frenzy and a box full of untested/dead Bezerk boards. Does that count :D?
 
I have one that is in very good condition, but alas since I picked up a pinball and a minty mr. do in a universal cab + living in a one bedroom in SF. This bad boy might be going soon.

The original sticks were bat shaped and are usually long since broken. Not sure if they are all optical or not as Stern had to replace many of the original optical ones due to failures. And before anyone jumps too fast on the Berzerk tees, I'll warn you now that they appear to only go up to XL, which I'll be squeezing into like Will Ferrel in the Gotta' Have More Cowbell sketch. I know we've got some big boys in this club.

I've never played Mr. Do, but I can't imagine it being more worthy of keeping over Berzerk?
