Picked up my third game of the year. Amazing how I said I wasn't going to get anything for at least the first few months of this year and next thing I know I have three new games in three weeks.

In case your wondering what games one and two of the year was... They were Mouse Trap and Asteroids.

I thought I read somewhere that your out of room. Time to move stuff around in the basement. The kids play area would make a perfect addition to the cade :)
 
I rotated the game area with the seating area on Sunday and it is more comfortable. Ice Cold Beer will be going down there just fine and something will need to rotate out of the game room to make way for either Asteroids or Frenzy.
 
wow thats a very nice Mad Planets! Is this restored or is everything Factory? Does the game work perfectly ? From my understanding this is kinda a hard game too find working!
 
Bill, that game looks fantastic! And, it looks really great next to Q*Bert. Amazing score, bro. Your basement is really shaping up. Your collection is really amazing.
 
I think Mad Planets kicks all sorts of butt.

I had a chance to buy one for like $400 from a guy in L.A. - it looked in fantastic shape. I was in the process of moving, though.

Great find!
 
When I made the deal the flight stick and fire button wasn't working but it was working in full attract mode. I knew it was having issues. Last night I reseat all the plugs to the filter board and it's alive. Need to reflow all the solder on the filter board and will be doing a full rebuild. I need to get the battery off the PCB as well.
 
First time I've heard of mad planets, but that's some nice side art, great looking cabinet for sure!
