Finished restoring/rebuilding this one a few days ago, and I've been playing it pretty much every free minute I've had since. It's crazy hard, but addicting. I just finally beat the factory set high score (barely over 41,000). Anybody out there able to offer up some game play advice? Just when I think I'm on a roll, all hell breaks out!

Wish i had remembered to take before pics...since I couldn't buy stencils, I had to hand tape everything, and repaint...I spent at least 8 hours just taping...all those damn curves were a bitch :(

(I know the buttons are supposed to be white, but I only had one white one on hand)

Nice can't wait until mine is finished.
 
Nice looking game. I made a replacement instructions card for for Kalan. I was thinking I should post it somewhere in case anyone else could use it.

This is only a screen grab. If anyone needs the file (for printing), PM me your email and I'll send it.

Yeah that looks perfect! Nice work! I played it for the first time in years last week and my only play advice is OMG RUN AWAY! ...I do wonder if it's a good idea to peek into a room and lure some of the bad guys into the room you just cleared out so you can pick them off 1 at a time instead of having all of them at once when you go in a new room... I wish I had thought of that last week.

If anyone is interested in selling their Space Dungeon or trading for my Front Line, please let me know. Great game :D
 
Very fun game! Loved this on the Atari 800, outside of mame I've never played it on the real deal though.
 
I have 6 sets of Space Dungeon artwork for sale if someone wants some. Bezel, Marquee, cpo and instruction card. This is the set that mikehoss purchased from me for his restoration. The reproduction artwork is printed directly to tempered glass using an EFI brand flatbed printer. Printed in three layers so it doesn't wash out while being back lite. Taito logos are silkscreened to front of glass. Marquee glass is 1/8" thick and bezel glass is 3/16" thick like original. A primer is applied to glass before printing to promote adhesion. The CPO is reverse printed on polycarbonate and backed with 3M adhesive. The instruction card is reverse printed to mylar backlight material. PM if you want a set.

I also have a Space Dungeon kit forsale with control panel and working pcb set
