This looks SWEET!!: I LOVE the throttle, it looks like one on a commercial aircraft!! It looks like it would be so much fun to play!

It is lots of fun to play. My first memory was playing one set on free play in the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

I always get Lunar Lander mixed up with Lunar Rescue. Taito made Lunar Rescue in 1980; it was fun also.

You know, I would LOVE to go to an arcade that has vector graphics games like this in it, but I wouldn't even know where to start-perhaps the California Extreme??

I have a Lunar Lander cabinet. Needs a potentiometer for the throttle control, but is otherwise in great shape. I've had it for 26 years, and have used it sparingly since I got it. It was in a pool hall owned by my then best friend's parents. The place burned down, but only the front of the place was destroyed. This cabinet was in the back room. It does have a slightly smokey odor on the inside(I've cleaned it inside and out, but it retains traces of the smoke) but it's not evident on the outside of the cabinet. I posted pictures in another thread.... I'll see if I can find it and post a link to it for you.
