@NewWaveToys The Berzerk marquee needs to have the Stern company logo on it, not Atari. We are buying these mini arcade games because they are close reproductions to the original full sized systems. Thanks.

[David Vandergugten @dkvandergugten]

@NewWaveToys Your company have outdone themselves. Food Fight is another great addition to your mini arcade lineup!
