US Billiard's video game Shark? iirc that may have been at one of the events you had attended.

Dan (TAFA maintainer) had taken photos of a Meadows Bombs Away cab that was at one of the previous CA shows years ago. Great game during its time in mid 1970s. It was almost like playing a home console game (so-so graphics), but the sounds made up for poor visual game play.

>> Boot Hill needs more artwork

>Yes.

That's what I was striving for when purchasing all the specific Boot Hill parts back in 2006. They were to be shipped from Illinois and instead were destroyed when going through one of the Illinois US Postal facilities at the time.

As for Atari Destroyer, the foreign language rom was an additional purchase item that could be ordered from Atari. It is mentioned in Destroyer manual and it is still needed/currently missing at this time for language support for Atari Destroyer.

I wonder if Atari treated Asteroids Deluxe the same way using the foregin language rom as an added purchase item that operators had to order/purchase separately if wanting foreign language support for Asteroids Deluxe.
