Goodwill find today: Asteroids

[MattG/Snyper2099]

Today I thought I would see if there was anything worth buying at the thrift store close to my house. Well, prolly my best find to date so far, today I purchased an Asteroids upright in very good shape for $100. Yeah me! :-)

That's a pretty cool find, I've been going to a few Goodwills this week and with my pickup truck I would be tempted to just throw something like that in the back

 

The big trick would be explaining it to the wife

You people find arcade machines at Goodwill? Lucky you!

Yeah it's always cool when you run into that kind of thing at a thrift/resale shop. There's a place not far from where I live where they have all tons of crapola you can imagine, and the very first time I went there they had several arcade games: a rare one called Space Firebird, the Atari Football coin-op (the black and white one with trackballs and x's and o's as players) and one that I couldn't even tell what it was; it had the Sega label on it, but there were no markings that I could see as far as what the game title was.

 

Whenever I go there there's always at least ONE video game thing here and there: the last time I went there (several months ago) was a copy of Shaq-Fu for the Genesis, and out of several rooms of stuff crammed and spilling out everywhere, on a table in one room were two old Electric Games (Gaming? I can never remember) mags in excellent condition, which I read the reviews, and one of them reviewed Starflight for the Genesis, which I have, as well as several others I had played. They had all these ads of games I had played and were talking about the "new" Sega CD, games for the Atari Lynx and all. Even though I didn't buy it it (there was nothing in there that made me decide that I HAD to have it, you know?) was cool to take a trip down memory lane, especially since it was preserved so well.
