So I went to check out an Asteroids Delux and came home with this...

I local guy's is closing his arcade so I stopped by at lunch to see what he was selling. There wasn't much of interested in the arcade so we went to his work shop where his Asteroids Delux was. The price was OK but it had a monitor issue. I turned the corner and saw what is probably my grail..a VERY far deal was struck and now it's in my garage

Funny... I was so excited to get it out of his shop my buddy who happened to be in the area with his truck stopped by loaded it up and took'er home (wouldn't fit in the expedition).

We did manage to blow out the back window loading it into his brand new Toyota pick up


Needs some work.. the plexi glasses are busted and it plays blind.

I'm completely stoked!

Nice score and nothing against your grail but what is the fascination with this game? Maybe im missing something but is it the cab, design, artwork, or the game play?
 
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH HELL YEAH!!!!


GRAIL ALERT! Great Job!

The fascination with this game:
1. Best art of ANY cab.
2. Great cross-geek-fest tie in.
3. Fun game to play over and over and over....
4. Sit and play inside with all the lights turned off wreaks havok on your senses! I love it.
5. The sounds, the music, the smells. Well, OK...the smells are from me. I just shit my pants seeing this thing. :)

For some reason i'm attracted to collecting games I was terrible at playing in the 80's (Star Wars, Spy hunter, Tempest ect..)...I have no idea why. I have a SW upright but for the cockpit version is just more of a joy to play.

Now with any luck the finace won't see it in the garage when she gets home =)

Nice score!
I saw that the arcade is closing and he's selling all the games. How was the Asteroids Deluxe, other than the monitor problem?
Does he have a lot of parts in the store room?
 
The AD wasn't 'that' bad..he's got some REALLY cool stuff in the back mostly over priced. Call him or sent me a PM and i'll give ya a list from memory as best I can. I'm glad he didn't see my face when he told me the price of the SW. Hes got a PP sitdown also
