I love this game . I wish your shop was closer by. 40 years ago i used to have top 3 spots on all the machines i could find on all levels.

God that takes me back! That's brilliant! The Blue T-molding definitely makes it pop! *Fantastic!*

[@willierants5880]

Mike this is just amazing. As a patron if not for these videos we only get to see the end result and having put some quality time on this cab already I can tell you when I first saw it I was like wow. It just pops and of course it plays like or better than new. Yes that chrome drew my eyes along with those bright blue grips and t-molding. These videos really help us appreciate what you and the entire ESA team does behind the scenes. I thoroughly enjoy these behind the scenes.

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Thank you for the kind words. It makes us happy to hear that our patrons really enjoy our work.

[@exoduslnx]

This was one of my favourite games growing up.

[@TheChrisBeans]

Nice!! I’m more of a 90’s game guy, but you just can’t help but appreciate a cab like this. Repro control looks cracking too. Nice!!

[@arcadecraig6441]

[@willierants5880]

We've put quite a bit of time on it. It looks and plays like new. Fun game.

[@thanhmcgriff3387]

Yes that's Nolan. When he put Pong in play for the 1st time all the guy side was Your machine has a problem!! The problem?? The coin box was too full of coins. They had to empty bags of coins. For Pong. Great video as always.

Any fan of PaperBoy needs to do a KZbin search of Scott Sava I am PaperBoy! It’s great short story that a classic from the old days. Basically as a kid his dad worked at the game development company and he was the model for the main character… super awesome (Scott is a huge artist now but doesn’t shy away from being PaperBoy)

[@thanhmcgriff3387]

What a classic, rare game. Outstanding!@

[@SomeCanine]

Old arcade games like Paperboy are brutally hard. There's just something about it though. You knew what you were supposed to do even though it was hard to do. Everything was over within seconds and you still loved every moment. I think modern games need a bit more of that simplicity and intensity. These days everything seems like it holds your hand so much that it's boring.

[@peter0071000]

Donnie Darko is awesome

[@Buff_Lightborn]

Paperboy is my jam

[@Talon75407]

Man that lift gate drops fast.

[@Talon75407]

Med Res Monitor is more rare, but Color Vectors are getting close.

[@mikewarner5583]

I need a narc cabinet!

[@720erik2]

Had no idea this guy was that old

[@georgewindsor2667]

what did it cost? i cant seem to catch one for less than 8k

[@ForceMaximus84]

No sound?

[@leighannedawson9335]

Color vector monitor is more rare

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

@@leighannedawson9335 a color vector monitor is rare but a lot of Star Wars and Tempest come up for sale. More of them were made not to mention all of the other color vector games. 19” med res monitor seem to be more rare in my experience. Only five games used them. All of them are tough finds.
