Last night starting on Medium (as usual) I got 2-3 sectors in past the 1st Mukor encounter. That's the best I've done yet. Oh & for Machine debating a purchase, Blasteroids uses a spinner control rather than buttons to rotate the ship. I rarely use transform but I discovered the smallest ship is ideal for blasting the tan geometric faceted asteroids.

Blasteroids has raster graphics (rasteroids?) so it wouldn't go with your 2 in that sense. If you want to stay vector I'm thinking Space Duel. The boss battle against Mukor (a big green cacodemon-type monster) is relatively easy, just gotta blast his enemy-spewing protuberances- which are mini versions of the game's enemy ships (I think shrunk down to make Mukor look huge). & the gameplay backgrounds are actual NASA photos digitized by ILM. & there are tons of variables, powerups, & enemies- even 4-5 different kinds of asteroids! What Im doing currently is coining up x5 & seeing how far I can get on that. Once I'm able to best the game on 5 credits, I'll drop down to 4, & so on. BTW my monitor is experiencing slow horizontal collapse at the bottom 1/3.of the screen

Make sure this didn't happen. Thats the underside of the power supply.

Oh BTW once I got it into place there, the next day the BLUE came back to the screen! Was told probably a bad solder joint.

Awesome avatar!

Hey all I'm in dire need of stuff to put on my gameroom walls & Im thinking the artwork mentioned would be ideal (my gameroom leans Atari) esp. any featuring robots, since that's one of my themes.

You guys doing Vindicators anytime soon?

Gave it a good home 👍👍👍

Found the problem 🙄🙄🙄

Also, fuses are checked & fine. Coin mechs & marquee not illuminated (& were not illuminated on site). Also on the HouseQuake audio board, of the 3 red LEDs, the 2 nearest the heat sinks light up, but not the 3rd.

Hey arcade aficionados, got a sweet score on a Blasteroids a few days back, played fine onsite but monitor has a bad blue transistor...anyway I unloaded it & it worked fine in my garage, then I got it inside & down 12 stairs with a minimum of bumping (I was careful), plugged it in & no dice. Monitor comes on but no display/game screen, & when I jiggle the entire machine (it's on casters) I briefly get some intermittent "garbage"(?) flashing. Experienced friend of mine is thinking bad power supply, it's a HAPP Power Pro (not original) if that helps. Unsure how to check voltages on it as it has no exterior connections. TIA!!!!

Sold him my 800XL system & everything I had for it. He's out East but we coordinated the plan with great communication & he did everything as promised. I met his daughter locally & he will get the items from her. A pleasure to do busines with him!

Didnt see/find a follow-up post- how did this turn out?
