Robotron!

I've been playing Robotron on the Dig Dug machine, but the monitor is arranged vertically and robotron is a horizontal-format game, so the screen comes out fairly small. Too small for such a legendary game.

Last Sunday it was too nice to lay around and watch TV and I was burned out on my school project, so I found a piece of scrap plastic and made a new control panel for Pole Position. The kids were the only ones that played it, and I think we'll get more play time out of the joystick control setup.

I recycled JRO's Chinese Hero control panel artwork, joysticks, and buttons. What a game! My hands hurt from cranking on the sticks.
