FOR SALE: Meadows "Bombs Away" (1976) original arcade bezel — one of the rarer Bronze Age titles, with artist signature
FOR SALE: Original plexi monitor bezel from Meadows Games' "Bombs Away," a 1976 single-button bombing game that ran on pure discrete logic (no CPU) — proper Bronze Age stuff. It was the sequel to Meadows' Drop Zone 4 and got a Japanese release through Taito later that year.
It's genuinely scarce: the VAPS/Museum of the Game census lists only two in active collector hands. There's also a neat detail — artist Pat Lundquist hid his signature in the artwork down by the ships at the horizon line, which the International Arcade Museum documents as an authentication marker. You can see it in the close-up photos.
Honest condition: the art is all there and hasn't faded, but there's light-to-moderate scuffing and fine scratching across the plexi from cabinet life, a little paint flaking on the lower wave detail, and some edge wear. No cracks, no chips, nothing missing. Looks great on a wall as-is, or it's a real restoration piece.
Roughly 31" x 16". I cover CONUS shipping (UPS Ground, packed flat between corrugated). Price, current condition, and the full photo set are on the eBay listing so it's covered by buyer protection — link below. Glad to answer anything or grab more photos.
