Has anyone else purchased something like this? If so, does it look as cool as advertised?

Sweet! Is this for your office at work? I wish I worked for a cool company that allows that. The last co. I worked for didn't even allow you to display family photos or have Post-Its on your monitor.

Yeah, it's for my office at work. We're kind of like the distant cousin, since our corp HQ is in another state. Fortunately, our culture is more loose. I'm going to just throw it on the wall and see what happens. I'm determined to have the "fun" office.

Update: Just purchased this today. Will let everyone know how it turns out. Will try to include pics.

Hahaha. Nice catch. I didn't even notice that. I was more impressed that I didn't put them up crooked.

Now I have to fix it or it'll bug the hell out of me.

Yeah, everything comes together in one package. There's 65 pieces in all: asteroids, ships, numbers, copyright info, Atari logo. There's even the cabinet marquee and dashboard graphics. Not bad for the $$$.

Yeah man I think it friggin looks absolutely great except that one little fact would bug me as well Asteroids scores are in increments of 10. I guess you can just put up a zero at the end

* Large Asteroids: 20
* Medium Asteroids: 50
* Small Asteroids: 100
* Large Saucer: 200
* Small Saucer: 1000

The sad part is that the package came with the extra dashboard/console cabinet decal that has the scoring key that you listed. I was just so anxious to get it up on the wall, I totally overlooked it. I have a few zeroes I can add
