My all time favorite arcade game! And likely the one game where you will see the largest disparity in high scores because of the intense number of points you can score on jumps!

My highest score: 1,761,210

That's a GREAT score! I don't think I have broken one million yet. I keep trying but I don't seem to be getting much better! LOL!

Still trying to break the 2M mark...

Very nice! Do you have a dedicated Zoo Keeper cab?? None of the arcades in the Chicago area have one... hard to find and keep running!  Undecided

Yeah, I am seemingly getting worse at the game... losing patience!! I need a couple of month break from it.

Ok that's a cool cabinet with neat side art too.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right

Definitely didn't buy that from Underground Retrocade, otherwise it would be in a Battlezone Cab with a 720 CPO, Mappy Bezel and a Ink Jet black and white marquee coloured in crayon.

What a place, still have nightmares over the Gorf video. I wonder if this subject will be tackled in the Arcade Impossible video.

Agreed, also curious when that video is coming out myself. Probably middle of March is my guess.

I'll give them that but I can't help having a scrubs moment where I see the machines on like IV's. Not that I can fault them for using what they have on hand or anything though but those marquees looked Bad.

Also I was actually about to ask them last night, got tired and went to sleep though. It's why I was re-watching there videos.
