Power On Self Test: 1980s is the new 1970s

I love this watercolor at the homepage of Britishy-retro singer Ladyhawke. What is the game depicted? One must be acquired and respiritualized by turning it into a MAME console, at once.

    Pretty cool but I prefer the retro design of the other Grandstand Tabletop: Astro Wars that looked like an oscilloscope.

    I really hope to see a TABLETOP comeback with all this 80s craze!

    No Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, or Michelle Pfeiffer? That’s no Ladyhawke!
