Dragon's Lair / Space Ace / Re: Now I got an Atari Space Ace (Project)

I am not sure if I should use the LED Score board in this Cabinet, or just add the Atari sticker.

Neither of these two solutions! Your cabinet is proof that the Space Ace release (from factor) that came in a DL European cabinet did not have the square Atari logo, and since this is a European cabinet, it is prohibited to attach a score LED like the US versions. :ghost:
My Space Ace doesn't have the Atari square logo either.

Is a version of Dragon?Lair available that don?t need the LED Score Board, like Space Ace.?

Hell yes, go with the roms for Europe/Atari. Scores will be displayed on the screen between the stages!  :spaceace:

Could you tell us a bit more about the origin of this cab? Did it belong to an old arcade operator, was it lost in the depths of a forgotten barn?
How did you stumble upon such a gem? :P I'm curious to know the history of this cabinet  8)

For the record, here's the serial on my cabinet ->



MODEL : EDL (Euro Dragon's Lair]
SERIAL : 132735

With such a small difference of 77, our two cabinets must certainly have been very close to each other in an Atari warehouse, back in 1984!  ;D

Galaxian Theater / Galaxian 3: Project Revival ... PhilWIP

Excellent work and very well documented, here's the WIP from the resurrection of the Galaxian3 Theater6 located in at FUNWORD in Nashua (New Hampshire)  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:



I had almost given up hope of finally seeing someone put in the necessary effort to study this beast. I am glad to finally see some interest in this machine.  :-* :-* :-*

Wow, what an amazing find that is!  :shock: :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

There will certainly be a lot of work, but finding an Atari Space Ace in the wild these days in Europe... is almost mission impossible! :shock:

I'm officially jealous! You're lucky to have the genuine European marquee with the legit Atari logo. I hope it's just dirty and not damaged? But even if it's damaged, this marquee must be preserved at all costs!

Speaking of the Atari logo, I see that you don't have the large square Atari sticker located between the two speakers. It's the same on mine. This is likely evidence that this cabinet was dedicated to Space Ace straight from the factory, and that only the Dragon's Lair machines originally featured this logo?

Do you also have the back door? If so, I would be interested in seeing the serial number to compare it with mine.

In any case, thank you for sharing this discovery. I can't wait to see more!  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Yes, the shaking of the left image may be due to an issue with the V-MIX board. To be sure of that, they should inverse the LD players. After inverting the LD players, if the issue appears to the right of the screen, it's an issue with the LD player itself. If not, the V-MIX board has obviously an issue. They are a ton of capacitors on the VMIX board. a bad one could cause -after warming up a certain amount of time- such kind of visual issues (wombling picture)...

They really should find a way to replace the LD players by something more reliable. I'm pretty sure Japanese Museum is using computer or Raspberry to emulate them.

'Business' Area : Buy/Sell/Trade / [WTB] Bezel for 25" monitor

I'm looking for a 25" arcade bezel monitor. Anyone has one, or can point me where to find one?

The LaserDisc player has been fixed. Attack of the Zolgear is now running properly again.

That is cool. :spaceace:  Make a maximum of pictures & videos while this beast is running, but most important: play it & enjoy :) :spaceace:

I'm pretty sure the Japan Arcade Museum that operates their Galaxian Theater use computers (or Raspberry?) to simulate the LD players (If I understood correctly the translation of the Japanese messages on Twitter/X).
It is indeed the Laser Disc players that are the most fragile part of the equipment.  :-\

Galaxian Theater / Re: My review of Attack of the Zolgear
« on: March 30, 2025, 05:25:20 PM »
Thanks for your feedback, and it's great to see a true fan who didn't hesitate to go on a road trip to test the game immediately. :)
Indeed, the game difficulty id adjusts based on the number of players. The red lighting in the theater when the end is near is quite immersive and stressful!
The choice of branching paths, based on players votes, was a great idea and added replay value even after finishing the game.

Personally, I find the gameplay very interesting because, as long as the shooting guns are well-calibrated, the shots are very precise. Playing with several players is pure joy, competing for the best score. Maybe the guns weren't properly calibrated when you played?

When I got my Galaxian Theater, it was equipped with the Zolgear mission. After the repairs, I quickly switched to the original mission 'Project Dragoon' because it?s the one I have the most affection for. However, Zolgear is indeed a very special mission, as it has never been adapted for a console or computer. To my knowledge, the game is still not available in emulation, so it?s only playable on the arcade machine.

Did you take any photos when you were on-site?

I've just been informed that the machine in Nashua New Hampshire has been repaired. I will be back with more info.


Hurray!   :spaceace:

Yes, I've seen the post for Phil on KLOV forum :



Can't wait to know more details about the repair and your details! :)

Hell yes!  :spaceace:

...still not opened my 2 boxes  :P  :arrow:



I think I'll keep them as is (until my kids will open them 'accidently'  ;D )

Do you have a lot of them?
