Robotron is the best, brutal gameplay and sounds which give goosebumps. I have an upright original Robotron cabinet as well, it's a beauty and a game you never get tired of playing with. It took me one year to go from 300K to 20M+ score scale, I sweat so much playing robotron that I need to take a shower after I play it.

One of my favourite games of all time too.. I don't own one but play Robotron regularly on my Lordsvale Neo Geo cab which I've installed two Dominux 8 leaf switch joysticks into, it feels very close to the original Wico sticks. Love the game and it keeps me coming back. Intense game or what pal! Absolute mayhem straight out the gate.

@@TheArcadeArchive I have a raspberry pi running retropi in both my cabs, it plays everything great. I tried 19-in-1 multi but you have limited options for controls and are stuck with what's on it. The cab is Jamma so it gives me plenty of options to play everything, space is an issue so I'm limited to a couple of cabs at the moment so running a horizontal and vertical cab with Pi's in them for now. Works for me bud 👍

Jarvis said in an interview he broke his wrist skateboarding and was at the arcade playing Berzerk and struggled with the cast on his right hand to press the fire button and wished it just had a 2nd joystick. Berzerk is a game of square rooms, with a man shooting robots haha instead of walking out the side doors he just obviously made the room finish when clear, and designed far more variety of enemies, added obstacles and added the family gathering mechanic. Brilliant ideas, it really is just Berzerk advanced and perfected. Anyways, congrats on such a fine example, the cab looks amazing, I love this game, i just picked up a Robotron recently as well, all original needs loads of work. Love watching the gameplay mate; enjoyed this one.

Thanks Mitch Berserk is a classic game for sure. I’m getting much more into games I couldn’t get into when I was a kid because I found them to difficult or controls were hard to master. Take Defender for example, that game I remember being to hard as a kid because of the controls, but now I’m older I’m loving it. On my list for next year. Thanks for watching mate
