Thanks 2PacMan !
I will keep you updated (think in the Galaxian No.815 thread...)
Well maybe it's just my childhood memories that it's such a great game
plus I suck at it....
Well if I get the 18 in 1 it will be the kit for sure. I can build it myself no problem.
I personaly still think there is a difference between emulation and the real arcade boards. Remember that all those 18 games were more or less "meant" to be run on the Galaxian hardware....
The only real problem I have with it is that I'd love to be able to play the 4-way games on it, but that would mean I need a 4 way joystick of course....
Ok 24.000 is pretty high. I think the highest number I've ever seen was somewhere in the 27.000.
You also can see yours is a high number since the PCB has the extra "grounding" board installed. This is meant to prevent "static".
The monitor is definitly not original. I can't see from the pictures what monitor it is. The inside looks very clean by the way !
I'm glad you want to restore it, even though you don't really like the game. I gotta admit that I bought my Centipede because it's a lovely cab and it was in great condition, but I'm not that keen on the game itself. That is.....the Atari 2600 version. I was once 4th (under 18s, yes I was so young then) in the Ducth national Atari 2600 championships on that game.........but I hated it !
Mostly because of the lousy joystick control. But we're drifting off....what I meant to say is you don't have to love a game to fall in love with a cab.....and I've never ever ever played Centipede on a real cab
The side art is looking very good. Just the usual "hand" wear. I'm hoping to find a way to fill up those worn parts but that will be near the end of the restoration
