Just picked up my Space Duel (thanks mr. dns!)... what a blast! I didn't realize how great the sound is on this machine! You would think the thing had a sub woofer in it!

I'm enjoying the hell out of this one right now!
 
The sound is great and I agree on the bass..such an underrated game. I also like what looks like fireworks when your game is over. That would be one of the last ones to go in my collection.
 
I agree 100%. I always thought Asteroids was cool, but Space Duel is just AWESOME!!!

I agree about the sound. The first time I played mine in the basement, my wife came downstairs to see what we were banging around, LOL.

It does sound like there is a sub in the game. I too love the fireworks if you get a high score, and the noise (I have NO idea how to describe it) after the fireworks.

I too got my Space Duel from a KLOV member, and I am very glad I did!

Enjoy it!

Yea I agree SD is such a cool game. I hate seeing them turned into Multi vector games all the time and they were converted bitd way too quickly as well. I always tried to find one when I went to a new arcade bitd.

Be sure to get the attract mod free play mod, it's cool
 
Pics or it didnt happen!

Did you get the one in the basement? I bought the other one. Need to get down to VA to pick it up. Hopefully mine looks as nice as yours.
 
That's because there is a subwoofer, or at least a very bass-heavy speaker, the bottom grille, much like Battlezone. The top left and right speakers are the standard sound speakers.

M.O.
 
Glad to see you got one Malice. It's a great game.

Yep.. should be. I am officially out of room now. Going to start focusing on
restoration and learning pcb repair vs picking up more. I've got everything on my list and then some. Of course thats what everyone here says:)

I gotta find an excuse to head down to my company's VA office for a few days.

Nope. Space Duel uprights have four identical 6x9 speakers. Two above the monitor, and two below the control panel.
 
I've owned a few Space Duel's over the years. I love that cabinet style. My only gripe about the game is that it needs that background "dunt dunt dunt dunt" sound that Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe has. If Space Duel had that sound, it would be the ultimate, IMO.
