I´m so excited to get this working, and i know it´s going to take a while, but owning a piece of arcade history like this is unparalleled!
oh, and this was the Atari´s Vector game Nr. 2784 :D
Pictures will follow later...
From Wiki:
Lunar Lander is an arcade game released by Atari, Inc. in 1979, which uses a vector monitor to display vector graphics. Although not particularly successful, a vector-graphics generator was the impetus of Atari's most successful coin-operated game: Asteroids. The object of the game is to pilot a lunar landing module to a safe touchdown on the moon. Approximately 4,830 units were produced.

Yes! A true piece of arcade history. Can't wait to see all the details of this game. :)

I don't know what all the fuss is about.....it's a boring little game trying to land a little space ship on a line that is supposed to be the surface of the moon.....yaaaaaahhhhwwnnnn !
;););) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
By the way....did I tell you that I found an owl-eye coin door ? Waahooo !!

The only "problem" is..........it has some surrounding wood around it that I have to take too....poor me ! ;D

Very very nice !
-
You lucky SOAB a real LL !!!!
I'm officially jealous ! ;D
About the CP: the one on KLOV is not going to be screen printed so you have to use that CPO anyway. Is that Phoenix's ?
Mine has crossed customs within a day=no import duties and VAT :) will arrive here soon !
The race is on gentle men.....my goal is to have it working at Eurocade !
-
Holy crap I just noticed, your side art seems to be the one without green.....is that right ?
-
Great catch Michael, and it does need some TLC, but I´m sure that you will manage.
Maybe in the future we can show both yours and André´s LL next to each other on Eurocade. Will be an unique event. ;D
-
fabulous, michael! what a great cabinet and game - everything on it rocks, especially the thruster controller!!! eat that, MAME!!! :twisted:

Could you check please ? Look at all the colored rectangles left of the lunar module. They are yellow, red, orange but some look black at yours.
Most (actually, ALL) pictures of LL's I've seen so far have these boxes green EXCEPT the one on the flyer. If yours has black boxes than that is proof that Atari used two schemes (or simply messed up)....
Yeah I know anal stuff, but I figured if Rich was going to do the LL side-art it should be perfect....right ?

congratulations, that's one special machine!

Completely overlooked this post... sorry!!! :oops:
Was in the garage tonight taking pictures of the sideart, though they are very dark (the squares) they are still green.... :'( - would have been cool if thay have been black! ;D

-EDIT-
Both pictures (actually it´s the same picture) is taken with my crappy iPhone4 cam.... guess it doesn't suck that much as long there´s enough light!
