Poor ol' ASTEROIDS DELUXE.......

Touche....

I was wondering if that would come up. I chose that as my avatar just because of the irony.

It pained me to burn the thing, but here was why I did it:
1) it was missing the back half
2) it was completely non-working and I couldn't fix it
3) the cabinet was badly water-damaged, beyond repair, and falling apart
4) I tried giving it away on eBay, like $10 no reserve and no one bid or emailed with any interest
5) It was before I joined this forum...now I would try giving it away here before burning it.

Of course I kept all the parts and will hopefully use them to restore another one down the road.

But you're right, I have little grounds to comment on others' destruction of classics.
