I love to browse the web to find pictures of arcade games, some you see often, and some are a rare sight.
This thread is purely picture based, so lets get started....

Good point! Unfortunately I've been saving pics for years as I go and unfortunately haven't been good about keeping relevant info with it :(
I believe one pic you're referring to (with the SIs?) was from a Japanese article regarding the 30th anniversary of Space Invaders and how there were "Invader Houses" dedicated solely to Space Invaders machines in Japan.

ah...nice pictures :)
I wish I could go back to these days, grab a pile of NEW Hantarex monitors&chassis and return to fix all our cabs with monitor issue ;)

Looks cool, it is a must have for Etienne & me. :D

Love it !

Thats actually a decent looking machine!

Thats actually a decent looking machine!
You nuts ? Poor Centipede !!!
The side art looks like Tempest though !?!!!??! and it looks to have a spinner....
Did you guys zoom in on the lower part of the bezel ? Bertolino !!! Pretty weird since thy usually did licensed stuff !
-
Shit, youre right. Did not recognize the shape before! Indeed poor centipede!
And youre right about the sideart....
Maby they converted the centipede to a tempest and then to this
-
The question is, how could you play Crasy Kong with a spinner? :D
-
Thats why its called "Crasy" ;D

ASTEROIDS
· 2 versions of the game program exist (with each having 2 minor revisions). The original version had some glitches (described below) that were corrected in the later version.
· 2 in-house versions were made, as practical jokes. One was nicknamed “Turtleroids” where the UFOs were replaced by turtles. The other was a modification to the high score table to replace Own Rubin’s initials (“ORR”) with Ed Logg’s.
· 3 cabinet variations were produced, one with a white border around the edges (picture #1) and one with “ASTEROIDS” in large red letters on the sides (picture #2). The white border versions are thought to have all been produced in Atari’s Ireland plant. The earliest Asteroids games produced actually used Lunar Lander cabinets (with the graphics intact). In addition, 3 different coin doors were used – the (then-standard) flat coin door, the more common newer style, and one with 3 coin slots.
· A special gold cabinet (with different marquee and control panel art) was made to celebrate the 50,000 machine produced (pictures #3). The gold Asteroids appeared in worse shape (but with a different marquee?) in Atari’s final days (pictures #4 and #5). Perhaps there were more than one made?
· There are 2 known variations of the monitor glass. Early production machines had the lettering in gold (picture #6). Later machines had all-white lettering.
· The reserve ships can stretch across the entire top of the screen (up to 59)!
· BUG: Rev. 1 tricks - The original software version (says “Asteroids by Atari” at bottom of screen, instead of “1979 Atari”) had an invulnerability glitch, where you could hide in the upper corners (in the score) and nothing would hit you. Also, you can get your ship to fly backwards- thrust in one direction until reaching full speed, and then quickly turn around 180 degrees and continue thrusting.
· BUG: Rev. 1 – the hyperspace button for player 2 won’t make a tone when pressed in test mode.
· BUG: Rev. 2a - every time you start a game, the last letter (initial) in the 10th score is erased. This was fixed with Rev 2b.
· BUG: When too many asteroids are on the screen (there’s a limit), and a larger one is shot, it will disappear completely!
· BUG: If the reserve ships reach 256, the counter may reset, or the game may crash (no one has yet verified what happens).

No André, that is a genoine movie from 1981, and that PCB was made in 1981, that is why it looked new (because it was new)

Wow....pure Nintendo porn ;)
I love the RS and HF bezels !!
Am I the only one to find the "insert coin" labels to be piss-ugly on Nintendo cabs....They also seem to be so totally pointless, as if people wouldn't find the coin mech without that label.....
There is none on mine nor will there ever be. I am going to assume that the Euro cabs did not have these labels because the mention US value coins, so that is a perfect excuse to not have one ;)
Who's pic is this ?
-
I only dont like that sticker because they "forget" to cut it out, i mean it would look so much nicer when the black "arrow" was nicely cutout.
for the rest i like the sticker
