Moon Patrol puts you in the driver’s seat of a rugged lunar rover, bouncing and blasting your way across the crater-filled surface of the moon. Dodge landmines, leap over craters, and shoot down UFOs in one of the first side-scrolling shooters ever made. With its catchy soundtrack, colorful parallax backgrounds, and nonstop action, Moon Patrol was light-years ahead of its time. It’s a perfect blend of driving, shooting, and old-school challenge that defined early ’80s arcade fun. Strap in, space cadet — the moon’s a rough ride!
We acquired Moon Patrol from at Texas Pinball Festival from a private seller who was looking to part with it. It was in decent shape, but had significant rot on the bottom of the cabinet. Mike Murray did some basic repairs to stabilize the game’s cabinet but it did not get a complete restore. He used wood hardener to stop the rot and reinforce the plywood sides, as well as added new feet to keep it off the ground. The game also received a cap-kit.
Arcade machines have minds of their own! You might want to call or email before visiting to verify. Sometimes a game decides to take an unscheduled nap in the repair shop.
You asked for it — and we delivered! Our YouTube fans wanted a way to support their favorite games, so we created Adopt-An-Arcade — a fun way to help keep these classics alive and glowing. Think of it like donating to a museum, but for arcade legends instead of dusty relics. Every dollar goes directly to the care and maintenance of the game you adopt, and you can give once or become a monthly supporter to keep it running strong.
Blast across the lunar surface in Moon Patrol, dodging craters, jumping boulders, and blasting alien invaders in one of the most iconic side-scrolling shooters of the 1980s. Your moon buggy’s mission: survive the rough terrain and bring back intergalactic glory!
