Asteroids

1979 Atari Incorporated

This is the latest addition to the collection. This has been the closest to find and most difficult machine to move to date. I found this in a small gaming store less than a mile from my house. When it came time to move the machine in to its new home, it almost did not fit. This is the heaviest machine (probably heavier than the Vendo Coke machine) and it has a strange shape to it. This shape made it almost impossible to upright in the basement. But as you can see - it did finally make it!

A nice black and white vector game where you have to shoot the asteroids before they crash in to you. You also have to be on the look-out for flying saucers that are shooting at you. This is my cleanest machine. There are a few scratches on the outside but everything is clean, neat and unhacked.
