Title: Atari Triple Hunt bezel
Post by: Belike on February 05, 2013, 08:07:17 PM
Yesterday I spotted an empty cab "for mame" on local auction site and a familiar logo caught my eyes

A few minutes later I realized, that the seller is a friend of mine and sent him a mail in no time.
I did some research and found out, that it is an Atari Triple Hunt bezel from 1977.
It was a shooting cabinet with 3 different games/bezels, Raccoon Hunt, Shoot the Bear and Witch Hunt.

Thanks André, it will be a hell of a job, but a piece of arcade history always worth the hassle. :D
