Excellent find Nuno - Roadblasters is a top notch game :D
-
I remember playing it in the 80's in my hometown. That was the sitdown version, great game.
Come to think of it, never played it since, fueling was a big thing in this game iirc.
Can't wait to see pic's of everything up and running in The Extended Lair.
Another great game Nuno, very nice find
And besides good health, I wish you many more of those finds in 2009.
-
Ah, same seller I got my Meteor from :)
Has a lot of stuff right ;)
I wonder if he picked up the lot from Amsterdam....

Yeps :-* I know it's not a 'hard to find' game, but it was in my 'nice to have' list so ::) ;)

Yes, and it's a good game for 'scoring' & contest :-*

LOL, yes... the 'Arcade Scene' is very small in Europe ;) :P

...I'm tired... but ... I hate to let a cabinet inside my car during the night :?
So, let's try to unload it directly inside my kitchen. Here's how I use to do that :
I reverse my car... until the entrance of the kitchen, like this :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/atari/roadblasters_atari_1.jpg)
Argggg.... it was supposed to enter like that... but I forgot the size the pedal on that cab... :oops: ... So I should rotate the cab... but ... it's late ... I'm alone ... I'm tired ... my wife doesn't want me having some injuries during the process :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:
...so I put the game back inside the car... for the night to come :-X
The day after... hey ... a meeting with friends :) :-*
See this :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/news/improchristmas08.jpg) (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=586.0)

::) Yes, my first idea was to do a Marble Madness conversion quickly... but I'll wait a little before doing that. Roadblasters is really fun, and I really appreciate playing it for the moment. :P
