Sweet find though! I've never played BattleZone on a dedicated cabinet, but playing it in MAME is always great. Good luck!

you wouldn't think that if you have ever played it on a dedicated cabinet. It would be impractical to dedicate two top firing joysticks on a mame cab just for battlezone in most setups and you can't replicate looking though the viewfinder (or whatever they call it) in mame, which to me makes this game pretty submersive.

Oh yeah! Im sure its a hundred times better. I've never had a chance to play the deal real considering the fact that the game is ten years older than me. I would definitely jump on the chance to play one in the wild though.

Love Battlezone......
The control panel looks to be in good shape which is a plus.
Does it still have the front step?
(I know, odd question, but you'd be surprised how many I've seen missing it)
