An asteroids in what looks to be a lunar lander cabinet. I was disappointed when I got to his house, it's in excellent shape and works great but I wanted asteroids side art. I know I could get asteroids side art but I hate to cover it up as you see more asteroids than lunar lander. Let's here some thoughts on this. Ed

Personally I like it. The theme isn't far off and the cabinet still looks nice. If it were mine I'd leave it alone, aside from adding a bezel and plexi. Love the owl eyes too. Wish mine had that.
 
Asteroids took off in sales, while Lunar Lander didn't.

Atari re-purposed some of the Lunar Lander cabs for Asteroids.

Someone restoring a Lunar Lander with a bad cabinet would LOVE that one. Don't re-do the art on it - please! It looks really nice.
 
I would trade my stock sideart Asteroids straight across for a Lunar Lander sideart version. I wouldn't throw any money on top or even drive for the deal, but if someone came to me I would probably do it.
 
I probably drove past your house picking it up today. It was close to mid rivers mall in st Charles.
 
I love my dedicated Asteroids. It has the Owl Eye door (not a big deal to me). I particularly like the side art. Its real clean and in great shape. Inside is clean and just a really good condition game for the age. Though, if I came across one in a LL cabinet, I wouldn't mess with it. Unless I was sitting on a pile of LL parts, then I might. Its a piece of history, it speaks to the state of Atari at the time. Its good to leave it as it is.
 
I say look at as an updated Asteroids with cool space artwork.

If you didn't know better, you would think that sideart WAS Asteroids...

I say keep it.

Would be cool to put the multikit in it, then it would make total sense!
 
if I kept it I'd add the Asteroids bezel and plexi to dress up the front a bit, leave the sides as is.

OR

Trade it to some one that needs a LL cab for an Asteroids can and some $$$.
