...And the hungarian side of the story:
Toralf was so kind and sent me a nice Dig Dug marquee in a nuclear safe package and a super cool surprise from 1984:








Thank you my friend. ;)

Yeah nice catch! That Cab is brilliant. I also have one.. and my Marquee is broken, too. Need to find another one one day... when I'm grown up and have the money :D
What about the condition of the cab? Is it working?

nice! interesting to see where this marquee has travelled. anyone care to make a map? ;)
I'm not too good in the map drawing business, but as I know it came from Luxenbourg to Ridderkerk to Budapest to Trollenhagen. ;D
Maybe Bruno can tell us more. :D

You can add first ... Germany :D
My Pacmania with that marquee is coming initially from ... Germany (see the 'lazy' road trip right here8)

didn't it use an atari logo joystick originally? however, you have to make sure to have a 4-way actuator (is that what it's called?), not the 8-way one used on gauntlet!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

pac-mania was built with the atari logo stick originally. the logo stick on my cab has been replaced, so i need a new one. Yesterday I won an auction incl. 2 sticks from ebay.com, i hope they fits...

it´s really sad that the gauntlet sticks are not fit in... i had 4 of them as spare

EDIT: any ideas with the sidearts? or has anybody a good digital repro of the graphic?
