Tell me the name of this 80s time travel story, please!

Want to help remember a book title? 'Course ya do! It's from the 80s and, if I remember correctly, involves some kids that discover a new game at the local arcade. There's a pilot's helmet on top of the machine, and when they try it on and attempt the game they find they can travel through time. I believe the cover was a picture of the machine and the helmet. At one point they use it to break into a research facility or something, but before that I think they go back too far and it's still being built (leading to some fretting about jumping forward in time and ending up halfway through a wall or floor). I know somebody out there can field this one!

You know, the game and the helmet sound familiar, but I'm afraid I'm in the same boat you are, my friend.

Response by poster: Thanks to LibaryThing's "Name That Book" forum, I learned that it's "Time Twister" by Ged Maybury.
