I want to play it.....I never did BITD AFAIR....I want to know what it's appeal is because so far I am not really that much attracted to it......

I still find it a funny story that they made this a 2 monitor game because Nintendo had a surplus of monitors that they wanted to get rid off quickly...... ;D

a few weeks ago i got a nice personal delivery from thomas who brought along an even nicer selection of games: joust, track & field, scramble and lost tomb. but there were also two other games in that bundle and i'd like to show you a few quick photos! first up, this sweet game :arrow:



vector-goddess SOLAR QUEST - nothing beats vector games!!! PERIOD!!!









well, and then i bought something which i'd been looking for for quite a while and which was at the top spot of my wanted list after getting my moon patrol. and where there's one, sometimes there are even two! ;D



but who needs two tappers? therefore, the second one (the one on the right) went to my arcade buddy alex from austria



i kept the left one, because it is one of the rare cabinets with color sideart. apparently, only about 100 cabs with that sideart were produced before switching to the more common version you see on most of the cabs today!



condition of the sideart is pretty good, just a few nicks and dings here and there which i'll try to restore as nicely as possible. there are no reproductions available for the color sideart and i'm definitely keeping the original stuff!



tapper = arcade heaven, both when it comes to gameplay and to pure cab beauty :-*



this afternoon, i also cleaned up the storage, moved all the games i have sold (and which haven't been picked up yet) out of the main room to the adjacent unit and brought all my other games together. i put them in some kind of restoration order, at least the games i'd like to tackle next are easily accessible. the top spots are: reactor, discs of tron and tapper, i'm strongly leaning towards reactor at the monment!!!

here's an overview of what the storage unit looks like at the moment, i'll give you one free cabinet of your choice if you can name all the games present in the picture ;D

all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!
