My Star Wars cockpit had a 1996 tax sticker on it.

More recently I have seen a Tempest on location (last year).

25...but I think the problem was more that the arcade's I went to were crap!  Then again, I can't say I've ever been to a really good arcade in the UK - most of them are/were generic-jamma cab central...

But jeez, Final Fight in an Asteroids cab?!

Vectors were worthless in 1991. Cheaper to buy a brand new monitor and put a new kit in the game than it would be to sell the game for $100 and then have to buy a new cabinet.

Also, lot of times an op would rather convert an existing machine than turn around to a new one, as a new one requires a new tax sticker.
