Asteroid Annie

Anyone ever seen one of these in Aus.

http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=98

I just bought a Pascal board for my Buck Rogers and saw the name listed in the book several times, so I decided to look it up.
Only 211 units made.
Bit unusual a single player SS.
Not a bad looking machine, I had never heard of it before.

 A few members own them I know Pinnies4me has one and I think one is transferring between members if not already done

I had the pleasure of playing Nick's (Pinnies4me) a few weeks back and I totally enjoyed it.

Strange that it was a single player, but Gottlieb had surplus SYS1 boards and decided to do a short and rather unique run of this machine  &&

This is the one that either switched owners or is in the process the née lucky owner can chip invifbhe wants it made public.

  It really is an addictive game very basic but challenging And y favorite part lots of drop targets  $#$

Actually I did notice that, but strangely they more normal size.
Usually pinball machines have women with great big boobs.

I had one in poor condition in Canada. It was too much to fix up, so I  got a few parts, & then off to the dump.

A really fun game, and great strategy in taking down the targets to complete a full deck. The shots are all difficult, it really does have a terrific lay out and almost rates along side Joker Poker as (IMO) the best of the system 1 games.

Great to hear about your shed progress cam when it's done I'll have tonmake the trip up to check it out.    Don't worry about the rust it's just a chance for you son to earn some cash give him a wire wheel on a grinder and stuff all an hour and the rust will be gone in no time lol
