Need Parts?

Well Since the WMS buyout of Atari things are sort of messy right now. Apparently Technical Questions are still being answered by Atari in CA for now...the nuber there is (408)434-3700. Ask for customer service.
Parts questions and availability should be directed to the Williams Parts Dept. The number there is (773)961-1544.

Where can I get myself one of these??!!

Well there are many places to find them, mostly it depends on timing and luck. Some of these games were not produced in large numbers so naturally they will be harder to find. The first thing to do is to read all the relevant FAQ's at GameArchive: Video Game FAQ's. Microsoft's Arcade includes close versions of Asteroids, Battlezone, and Tempest. It is available at just about any software store. Many emulators exists for running these classics on your PC or MAC. Checkout MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Happy Hunting!!
