I just noticed this thread, and thought you were talking about a seller I just dealt with, b.t.jag from Ft Wayne, Indiana. I just got a boxed Megamania for the Atari 5200, also in a bubble mailer, after I asked him to box it also. Fortunately, the game arrived relatively unscathed. Looks like the same shipping label I had on my envelop. Do you think this is the same seller, using a different name?

I was there with my family in August 2004, and it was great. Sounds like they rotate the classic games, or just replace them when broken. When I was there, they had Star Wars cockpit, Berzerk (not working 100%), Frogger, Centipede, Millipede, Marble Madness, and many others I can't remember them all. It would be a huge shame to close the place. Owning about 20 classic coin ops, I can't even imagine putting my games out in public where people can use and abuse them again. Just the thought of some kid going crazy on the Battlezone joysticks at some location is unnerving!

Thank you so much for the link! I have my arcade in the half of my basement that is unfinished, and was thinking of doing almost exactly what he did- even down to the color scheme! It's almost uncanny! After seeing how his game room turned out, I just may abandon the drywall and drop ceiling option and go his route after all! Here's a sample picture of my game room, and it's just begging for the same color scheme! I already had the rope light idea from the arcade84 video too!

SOLD and paid for! Thanks for all who expressed interest!

I'll start the offering at $25! Sorry- the offers I've gotten so far are much better than that... I might have an accepted offer on it already, but until I get paid via Paypal from that guy, I'll still entertain offers.

Okay, I've gotten some e-mails asking for more information. Actually, I looked it up, and Ms. Space Fury was released at the Classic Gaming Expo 2001, and only 75 copies were made, according to Digital Press' guide. The game was obviously inpired by the alien from Space Fury, but plays kind of like Jumpman Jr and Miner 2049er.

I need cash and am debating what to throw up on eBay or here for sale. I have tons of console games- including a huge Sega Master collection, a great working Vectrex, several full size arcade games, etc. I found this Ms. Space Fury game that was released at the 2000 Classic Gaming Expo, along with the manual. They are in excellent condition, and there were only about 80 copies ever made. If anybody's interested, please e-mail me at [email protected] to make an offer on it. Thanks!

I played it- nice game! But I'm still hoping to get a Twilight Zone someday

I like this game too. I like the variety and challenge the game provides. I got it mainly because I liked the arcade game (Krull was one of my first 2600 games), and while the 2600 game has nothing to do with that game, I was not disappointed. Speaking of which- was there ever a home version for any platform of the arcade game Krull? I don't recall there ever being one, although the arcade game was a modest hit, and pretty fun, too!

Whenever I play the Eye In the Sky album by Alan Parsons Project from 1982, I think of listening to it while playing Atari. As for the arcade, hits from '79 to '83 make me think about heading down to the arcade... Stuff like, Whip it-Devo, Call Me or Rapture-Blondie, Funkytown-Lipps Inc, Another One Bites the Dust-Queen, My Sharona-The Knack.... etc. I remember a TV commercial from about '81 that used pac-man, while Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes was playing in the back ground- I think it was for Coca-Cola- don't ask me how they all related to each other...

Thanks, CPU- I was worried that you'd be upset that I am selling them- I really do not want to sell them- they are beautiful, but financial needs trump my Atari collection right now. thanks again, you are one of the nicest guys I met through this hobby, and I appreciate you making them for me!

But they are so pretty they are worth metioning twice I got my eye on the space invaders but I'm sure some N00b is gonna bid a small fortune on it AKA I don't stand a chance in hell of getting it...lol.. Well, that's good! I was worried that CPU would be upset that I listed them. I wouldn't want to sell them, but, as I said before, I need the cash right now Thanks

Hi Folks- unfortunately, some pressing family financial needs are forcing me to part with more of my game collection. A few years ago I had a fellow collector make a few repro carts for me in cool, clear cases. I believe I paid around $30 for EACH at that time, and they were for my own personal use and collection. I did not intend to resell them, but, like I said, I need the cash right now, so I am forced to part with them. The games are Adventure, Yar's Revenge, Crystal Castles, and Space Invaders. I listed them on eBay, in case you're interested: Yar's Revenge: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=104751452486 Adventure: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=104751452974 Crystal C: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=104751453515 Space Invaders: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=104751454020

Wow, thanks for the info on this- I've been out of the loop lately, and didn't see this new plug and play at the stores recently. There's no mention of it on the TVgames website, either. I'm still surprised that Namco gave it's blessing to include Pac-man Plus. If I remember the story correctly, Midway went ahead and produced Pac-man Plus on it's own without Namco approving it, thus dissolving their business partnership. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Is this for real? I couldn't find any info on it online. I would be surprised that Namco would allow Pac-man Plus, as it was the game that broke the camel's back in dealing with Bally Midway, and Namco never officially recognized it as their game. Do you have a link to this product?

By the way- kind of off topic- but I was thinking about ordering some stuff from Lizard Lick- has anybody here dealt with them before, and if so, how was it? Do they ship fast, and how's their customer service? Thanks

This is the 39 in 1 jamma board that you see show up on eBay once in awhile. It has 39 arcade classics on one board, and no, it is not licensed by any company, for obvious reasons. See http://www.bumper.com.au/parts/jammagames.asp

You know- I kind of felt that way when I finally got an Intellivision in the late 90's at a Goodwill. I remember all the heated arguments I used to get into in high school with a buddy of mine about which system was better- my 2600 or his Intellivision. Secretly, I liked INTV, too- not as much as my Atari 2600, but I still thought many of the games were cool- especially Demon Attack on the Intellivision. Then, when Colecovision and Atari 5200 came out in '82, I wished I could've had both of them for Christmas that year. Today, I have all the systems, and love all of them- they are all a great memory of my childhood, whether I had them at the time or not.

Congrats! Pac-Man was my first arcade game to own, too! I got it in summer 2004, and now I'm up to 17 games! I'm warning you, like a friend warned me after I got my first one- they're addictive! Your not kidding, I bought a High Impact Football because it was $75.00 I really had no intention off purchasing arcade games. Now I have the following 6 months later....... 1. High Impact Football 2. Rally-X (Dedicated) 3. Eagle Shot Golf 4. Super Off Road (3 player) 5. Donkey Kong Junior 6. NBA Jam (2 player converted from an old Scramble cabinet) 7. Street Fighter 2 8. ESWAT Cyber Police 9. Tetris (Atari) 10.F-14 Tomcat (pinball machine) And I have my eye on none other than Ms. Pac-Man Told ya! I thought if I just an honest to goodness real arcade machine, and the Babe Ruth of arcade games, Pac-man, I would be satisfied. Then... I started thinking about all my other favorites that I loved when I was a kid, and before you know it, my basement is full! Collecting arcade coin-ops is worse than crack!

I agree- I bought Spider Fighter when it came out new, and was disappointed at how long it takes to become challenging. I really want to like it, and I do, once it gets faster. Can anybody hack it to make it tougher sooner?

That's why I bought a Discs of Tron coin op! I love that game, and it sits right next to my Tron in my gameroom. Believe it or not, I've still never seen the entire Tron movie- but I have both coin ops, and all the Atari 2600 and Intellivision Tron games!

I'm sorry, I'm really not familiar with the cabinets at Costco and Fry's (we don't have those stores in our area)

It was most likely not MAME, but the 9 in 1 jamma PCB, which you see often at locations, usually with the "Multicade" marqee. They later came out with the 39 in 1. These are the real games, but hacked to remove the company name from the games.

Mine. I know that this is more of a topic for Auction central , but there's such interest in Bounty Bob, I though I would mention it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8272239084 Thanks
