Just picked this arcade game at one heck of a price, $150. It is not the origional cabinet, it is a cabinet that was converted with a new board to this machine and then the artwork applied to it. My friend who sold it to me is going to get me the board for the orig game as well and the manuals. He forgot the name of the other game, so that will be a surprise. Eventually I hope to convert it into a MAME so it will play bunches of games. Not sure if I am going to go with a new board with bunches of games or throw a PC in there. Still it is a fun game and the board inside is in perfect shape.

I made it to the final stage of the game and died right away :( Still pretty fun and it is in great condition.

With the pins, dart board, brain jars, stereo, and the keg fridge I can safely say it is turning into a very decent man cave.

I liked that the cab was a bit smaller than a renegade dead one I have in my garage which I believe is an old Tron cab. Made it a bunch easier to get into the basement.

I have wanted a MAME for a while and was a bit scared to build from scratch. So this for $150 is a steal. I might get a kit for the MAME though. Keep this orig. Will decide over this winter.

At least I still have room for at least two more pins and possibly two more arcades. Very glad I found this forum. The help on my pin was greatly appreciated.

Most likely a robotron. I would LOVE a dedicat EFTPOTRM but oh so hard to come by...
 
So is a "man cave" anything like a prison wallet? ;)

It was a "get your pinball machines in the basement instead of our dining room for the last 10 years cave".

Best part is my man cave is two ghey purples. Love it.

I love it though. Need more pins, and maybe another arcade and a MAME. Keg is so close, so it rules.

Got me to care about my pins again, and I gonna pimp the crap out of them. LED under plastics.

Really glad I joined these forums. You folk are good peeps.
 
Planet of the robot monsters was a fun game from what I remember. It reminds me of the Sierra Space Quest PC games. Not a bad game and cab for 150 bucks.
 
Finally got the manuals for this game. The robotron manuals are with it too, but no board :( I saw the little switches on the board before and flipped one and the monitor went strange. I shut it down and flipped it back.

Well after reading the manual I saw that is how you get to the admin area. Got in there (and yeah the monitor got all freaked for a bit, but I waited it out this time). Got to the admin area and set it up how I wanted it and now it actually saves high scores, is in free play, and now has 5 guys. I might actually be able to beat the damn thing.

JOY :)

Oh and I replaced the ballast and now the marquee is shining all pretty like. Wanting to set the monitor vertical and put a 60-in-1 in there.
