Now I will present my current roadtrip once here. The track is short for my standards, 350 km away. (x2)

I started at 6 am, of course, in the dark. While it was quickly clear, but unfortunately it was also foggy:

the sun rises, and behold my favorite villa in the addams family style shines in the sunlight in the town of Fürstenberg.

here it goes to the village Himmelpfort, the German home of Santa Claus. Children loves it ... and I also. ;D ho ho ho ;D

meanwhile arrived in Berlin, an old vw beetle cabriolet front of us.

Unfortunately, many construction sites on the limitless autobahn. ...and windmills ...

Here we cross the big river ELBE

clock time by 10 am, we arrived in braunschweig, and voila, here is the object of desire:
Missile Command "Cabaret".

Unfortunately, I was shocked, because it lacks three conebuttons and the back wall.
a small price negotiation because of the missing parts and behold, I can with more money home. a good deal. but the cab has to be restored.

+1 !
Shame you weren't around a bit sooner, I sold my MC cabaret some time ago which was nearly completely restored...
Also, please put the game name in the subject of the first posting so we can search for it etc...
Thanks :)

Nice catch !
congrats and thankx for sharing the story!

this is really sad, a restored mc cabaret was a better deal then this, but now its not to change. :(
Now i search for a another similar cabaret cab, the "asteroids".
the game name i have put in the subject. ;)

congrats on that catch and thx for sharing the roadtrip with us. i hadn't heard of that memorial "marienborn" before, but it looks like a place well worth a visit when you're in the area.
i have played the missile command cabaret at andre's place (when he still had it), but somehow i had the feeling that i am too tall for that cabinet. i had to "go down" a little bit to see the entire screen PLUS i think the trackball is too small - they should have used the bowling ball from the full upright. nevertheless, a nice catch. missile command is a great great game, hopefully my replacement opto boards will be arriving soon so that i can enjoy it again!

PLUS i think the trackball is too small - they should have used the bowling ball from the full upright.
Mmm, how do you suppose they would have mounted that in a small CP like that ? ;D ;D
The trackball itself is probably the best Atari (2.25") built though. The all-metal set-up is simply awesome....but I can see your point about the bigger size TB.

I didn't notice that sticker, good eye scr33n! Great catch TimePilot!

you have right Ully, the "big brother" was the better solution to play the game and it was very beautiful. but i had not enough space in my gameroom, and so was that the "cabaret" cab the best solution.
the graphic from sticker i have from a member of german arcade forum. it shows 2 similar cabs, has anybody knows which cab this was?
a tip: it has to do with this topic... :lol:

Yes absolutely right, it's missile command upright cabs on the sticker. ;)
Thanks DarthNuno, that is incredible, very very nice graphic. :spaceace:

Totally love the Arcade '82 artwork on your wheel cover !!!!
Do you have the graphics file for it ? Would be cool to have some stickers printed like it...because I don't have an extra wheel outside of my car....always wanted a nice, decent sticker on the car. This is perfect !

I'm guessing it's from here?

There's a 'make your own product' area which has stickers.
-
yes, the graphic was from Roland (alias "nexus" in the arcadezentrum.de forum). he makes many different arcadeshirts, bags and many more. his shop was lowrez.spreadshirt.de
he has send me the arcade82 graphic as .eps file, but the graphic has a different color than my stickers.
@Level42: please send me a pm and give me your mail. I will send you the file, if you want this. ;)
