Drove for 24 hours straight this weekend........

1400 miles round trip to pick up my video game holy grail.  Check it out!   

[Manfred318]

Cool! I used to love that game when I was a kid

[41husk]

Cool, I bought an old Premier Chicaco Cubs Pinn ball game.  Maybe with the cubs doing well this would be a good time to get rid of it

[General_01]

That is cool, but 1400 miles? How much gas did you use? Holy Cow.

[Charger1973]

$300 in gas.  Totally worth it though.   


I also have Contra, Tetris, and Bionic Commando.

That's pretty cool. I wish I had the Pac Man game that was at Chad's pizza shop.

I already knew it was worth it to you, or you wouldn't have driven that far to get it.

Very cool. I wish I had the room and could afford some arcade games like that. Two of my favs when I was a teenager was "Pole Position" and "Spy Hunter".

I think my all time fav was "Karate Champ". I played it all the time at the arcade. I wasn't at the arcade very much. No Money. But I played this game every time I could.

Here is one for sale if you don't remember it.

I would do the same for the pinball game Silverball Mania, or the video game Tron.

Dragon's Lair was my favorite

wow that is nuts!! cool though. i'm leaving at 6 am coincidentally for a 1400 mile round trip.. i'm headed to get a 70 charger project though  like i need another car...

[Charger1973]

Yeah these games are a blast, they are like time machines, kind of like the Charger in a way.  I dont want any more than I have now though, because moving is going to totally suck from now on.   

1400 miles is fairly easy unless you do what I did and drive it straight.  It didnt help that I only had 4 hours of sleep the night before and my co-pilot was my 17 y/o brother who only has a learners permit.  I just did all the driving because I wasnt about to take a risk that far from home!

[Charger1973]

Heres my others.  Altered Beast is for sale if anyone wants it, otherwise I am going sell the parts and put a Nintendo in it.   

[TUFCAT]

You must have lots of quarters

[Manfred318]

Dragon's Lair was my favorite

Wish I could find one of the oniginal Pioneer Laserdisc players out of one of those.

Matt, i had a friend who collected old arcade games ironically his name was matt too! where im from we dont have quarters, but 20 cents coins so "back in the day" we would get 5 games for a dollar  of course everything has changed now i havent seen a real video arcade for god knows how many years....kinda sad  nice collection 

[resq302]

Wish I could find the arcade came with Aerosmith on it.  Think it was called something like Generation X.

Yup, I lost many a quarters to that game at the movie theaters.  What could be better than playing a video game listening to your favorite rock band.
