After watching Blkdog's videos, i decided it was time to purchase a "blind" buy. A game i had never played nor remember ever seeing in the Arcades as a youngling.

Drove up to Cleveland and met a KLOV'r this morning after a month of going back and forth finally got my first vector in my collection. Never played this game until a week or so ago (on ipad) and instantly thought it was badass.

I have owned an Asteroids that was in a Lunar Lander cab but only to sell it off to another KLOV because honestly i wasnt an Asteroids fan. This however is technically my first vector game and can see it staying for quite sometime. The Black Widow is in decent condition. Could use a nice cleanup and a new CPO but other then that, it's nice and will go down in the Underground Arcade hopefully sometime this week.

Ironically this is my 2nd Atari vector cabinet pickup in 3 days with this and the Quantum i picked up on Friday. Im thinking Quantum is needing to go to a collector as i dont have the $$ to restore it back to its glory considering i have never played it.

Pictures to come soon!!


BTW, i was checking world records on this game and it seems the WR could be achievable? I played one game without verifying TG settings and popped a 123k score. I started on the game on the first "intense" level during selection so im sure i wasnt playing with TG settings.
 
it is a fun game.. i know the settings are off on mine, cause you start with 5 lives.. i've got close to 200K on it.
 
I have watched Johnny Mac take mine to level 101 or so. 3 men and I have my extra man set on too tough. That's one of those records he can set whenever he decides to. Fun game for sure. Those grenade bugs are a pain!
