Sir,

I also think the Super Breakout catched toooo less attention from the members.

I even have been asked if I really took it now...

But for me it is such a cool find, and it was exactly under the broken rooflight, and it DID catch some water, but its almost nothing.

The Gremlin Head-On got some waterdamages but also nothing so bad for me that I ever would leave without it.


As for the Space Attack:

I now found out that it is a

Gremlin Super Space Attack

The artwork is awesome:

http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/flyers_video/sega/107000101.jpg

What confuses me is that there is no backdrop to see, but I remember that I checked both Space Invaders on Backdrop/semitrancelucent mirror and from what I recall both of them had that configuration.


The other one is a

Super Invaders, Nilfisk might know a lot more of that cabinet...I have to deside which one to keep.

http://www.kersch.at/invaders.jpg

But I would be VERY GRATEFUL for comments that help me to choose one.

The Super Invaders got original looking Space Invaders sideart on it.....



The Asteroids Deluxe

....is indeed one from the irish Atari Plant......
                                                                  ............and so are the Space Aces.... :)

OK guys,


tomorrorw it is visit number 5 or 6 but pick-up-trip number 3.

Since I also have to pick the section with the skateboard of the Top Skater I think I only can take 4 or maybe 5 games.

My list says:

Atari System 1 / Indiana Jones - The temple of doom
SEGA Tac/Scan
Universal Cosmic Alien
SEGA Turbo

I going to bring at least the Tac/Scan and the Turbo in my flat......I think I can squeeze 5 more games in my living room.....

That should´nt be an unrealistic hope.....I just measured my flat and it is around 495cm.

If I calculate with 63cm wide games like the Hang-On I could get in 7,8.

If I calculate with 60cm wide games the calculation says 8,25 games....that would be even nicer but I dont know how many games are in the 60cm-range...the Asteroids Deluxe is for sure and the Space Ace could be as well.

What is your opinion what I should put in the living room.

The Hang-on will stay and I think the generic cab too as I going to run M.A.M.E. on it to have some more games to play.....but maybe I change it to the Zaccaria Star-Splash I have bought for 30€ that I want to make to a Mr. Do! running a M.A.M.E.-PC

So 5 games should fit in, my choice would be:

Hang-On
Generic Cab with M.A.M.E.

Asteroids Deluxe
Space Ace
Tac/Scan
Space Invaders Clone

What do you guys think?

OK, I took another bunch of games.

Today it was 10, 11, 12 and 13...... means:

Atari System 1 / Indiana Jones - Temple of doom

SEGA Tac/Scan

Universal Cosmic Alien  and

Zaccaria Astro Wars

.......since I was in near I managed it to pick the second part of my SEGA Top-Skater....I still wonder what devil was riding me to bid on that on eBay.....  :roll:

That thing is big as the Empire State Building, and I mean both of the 2 parts are....

The Tac/Scan was under the broken rooflight and had some water-contact...surprisingly the wood is macerated on unusual areas.....I going to make pictures as soon as I have time.

They are always in a rush when I come to pick games.....

The Indiana Jones is very dirty, but seems like it turns out nice once it is cleaned.

You can see it in the picture, there are two sidepanels that dont reach to the floor....and they are widened on the lower side.....?!?!
