For the record, I called that one first!

I just spit out my coffee from laughing so hard!

I've been playing P.T. For anyone who has not downloaded it yet, you should…it is creepy as hell, and it is certainly one of the most challenging puzzle-horror games I have ever played.

PM Sent!

I would certainly buy a copy. Let me know if you go ahead with this run.

I will take you up on that for sure!

If you don't mind me asking, do you have a price in mind? It sounds like you at least have a ballpark in mind. The collector in me would be interested in this (regardless of the LTO), but it really all depends on what you think is a fair number. I would be interested to hear what your "ballpark" dollar figure is.

I plan on buying two of them, so I can make them into a matching set of earrings!

CIB, it went for $20K +

At this point, it is safe to say that Air Raid is more of an investment than a game…and a bad investment at that. Consider this: -The ROM is readily available for emulation -Reproduction carts are readily available for $20 or less -The gameplay is rather horrible -The loose cart sells regularly over $1200 and upwards of $2000 (and the market price has completely flattened out) I guess that if you feel the need to own a "holy grail", then have at it…from what I have seen though, this particular game flips from one person to another more than most. It's like the hot-potato of the Atari 2600 scene. I would rather have a half decent game like Malagai, and it cost me a hell of a lot less…considering it is also an R10. Also, with Malagai, you rarely see them on eBay (aside from the one which has been sitting forever with a high BIN). I have to wonder…with all of the packing and shipping back and forth of this game, how long will it be before the elements and mishandling of these carts leaves them as nothing but a pretty shell. I mean, bit rot is going to get the best of these things eventually anyhow…all of the excessively hot postal trucks and games of "postal football" with these packages can't be helping matters.

As soon as mine arrives, I will be happy to write a review! (complete with Shatner photos!)

I'm not so sure about that! You certainly sounded: A.) somewhat aggressive B.) like you will passionately defend your knowledge of all things fecal.

Ok guys...you can fight it out over who has better knowledge about poo-poo. I still stand by my earlier statement...$50.00 at most.

Agreed. I would probably not pay over $50 for it myself…but, then again, I don't really like typical eBay prices for CIB games. If you hunt for long enough, you will find most games at a semi-reasonable price. This particular title is unusual for sure…not what I would call "rare" though.

Agreed. The biggest concern here, usually stems from the monitor being improperly secured in the mounting brackets. The fly-back neck on the end of the monitor is very susceptible to damage. Also, the rear door to the cabinet needs to be checked. If it is not secured properly, they can sometimes tilt into the machine or fall inside completely when you attempt to lay it down. I have a Tempest cabinet that is just like that. The wooden rear door is broken, so it can (and did) fall inside the cabinet. I luckily didn't do any permanent damage, but it did take me a while to try and get it out of the machine when I got it home. One last thing…the monitor on the asteroids machine is a vector monitor. XY monitors like that are fairly touchy…you want to make sure to not bang it around too much during transport. Just take it really slow moving it in and out of the vehicle, and avoid potholes when driving if possible.

I can't believe I forgot to leave feedback for FND!!! I also purchased a copy of Malaga -30 yr anniversary edition. What an amazing project! The level of detail put in on this is beyond any other homebrew project I have seen previously. It is truly a treasured piece in my collection!

I heard that it was Shatner's fault...

I was never invited, nor formally inducted into any of the brotherhoods. So, rather than feel bad about it, I decided to make my own society… I present to you: THE SHATNER BROTHERHOOD!!!!! So far, the membership roster includes: 1.) me 2.) shat (though, I don't think he is aware of it) 3.) hello kitty Send me a PM if you want to apply for membership….but, I must warn you…the induction ceremony is brutal!!!

Last I heard, it was all Shatner's fault.

Payment sent!

You might want to photoshop that image, and change all the gold coins to a single mound of pennies. Consider [email protected] $60 per copy, it amounts to $18,000 before: coding time material costs (gatefold box, PCB, cart shell, overlays and manual) physical production cost (creation of all of the above) creation of artwork for box, manual and overlays (yep...artists get paid sometimes) hand assembly (putting together each CIB game from all of the above) packing and shipping 300 packages Taxes / PayPal fees So...what size pile of cash do you actually think would be left to dive into? My guess...they would end up smashing their head on the cold concrete floor.

It's like a gift…it's like I can't control it.

NAYE!!!! If Rev was C-Mart's secretary, he would spend all of his time trying to get C-Mart to chase him around the presidential desk, dressed up as Bea Arthur! Can you say Monica Revolewinski???

Just a guess, but the computer may have been: stolen and sold to the thrift store by thieves stolen and dumped at the thrift store by thieves (when they realized it was worth very little) donated after the passing of a family member bulk home clean out (this happens a lot these days with foreclosures on the rise) It could also be someone who just has no clue what the heck they are doing on a computer (i.e.: my parents generation). That said, I really don't think something like that could possibly be intentional in this day and age. Every day on the news, they are talking about data breaches and how important it is to protect yourself from identity theft…it seems that if you are tech savvy enough to keep your budgets on a computer, you would know how to wipe the disk. Very odd indeed!
