Was my Galaxian mini supposed to be a Space Encounters?
I picked up this Galaxian Mini about a month ago. I started searching for more information about it and came across several threads that mentioned these could have originally been built to be a different game then painted over for Galaxian. I noticed on mine that there was what appeared to be yellow paint around the edges at the top. I also noticed this on another one that someone had a picture of online. So googled Space Encounters Mini and looked at the picture then noticed that my machine has a very distinct line under the paint exactly where the yellow would end on the Space Encounters. I also wonder if this explains why the serial number on the tag does not match the serial number on the cabinet.
