This is a dedicated Bally Sente Snake Pit. Its in the (SAC)1 "FRIDGE" cabinet that weighs a ton due to the metal frame inside and thick plastic panels on the outside.
So not too many of these floating around. I think 1 in the US and 1 in Europe.
I restored 100% of the artwork which was no easy task.
Its perfectly functional and super clean.
That's sweet. The only time I ever remember seeing this game was way back when it first came out at a Showbiz Pizza. I couldn't tell you any other games they had there but this one. I really remember liking it and hoping to play it again and I never saw another one. There was a restaurant / bar we used to go to that had a dedicated Sente Hat Trick for a long time and I loved playing that too. Those were the days.
Thanks!
Quoted from Caviar:Very nice COOL !
Thanks! You'll be able to play these soon.
Quoted from Buzz:Beautiful!
Wow! Fantastic restoration! Too bad the Sente system hit a little too late in the golden age of video games to be effective. Truly innovative idea. What I really liked about the Sente game system was that it was flat and was almost like voting booth. This meant that you had PRIVACY when playing a game, which helped you blot out the real world and focus on the game.
This is what the current generations will never understand about the original golden age arcade games. Each arcade game had its own personality, and gave the user a different world to play in; but the games were still simple enough that you had to, in part, use your imagination. The best arcade game of the golden age would have to be Discs of Tron environmental, as that was the first game that truly made the player feel like they were in a different world.
Yeti? Sold!!
Quoted from CNKay:Dang I only have a Chupacabra,Yeti and rat race pins. So close it's just my luck.

Buzhnell sold Bally a pig in a poke with the Sente System.
No way!!! That is awesome!!!
Quoted from JWJr:You are welcome. And I say that with some expertise...
Beautiful restoration!
I spent a ton of time with my head buried in those B/S fridge cabs back in the day. Great games. A couple years ago at CAX, there was a guy who had a fridge cab that he was changing out the games in them every 6 hours or so. My favorite was always MiniGolf.
Does Snake Pit have the missing kids screens?
I haven't seen missing kid screens.
