Nerdygrrl's Upright Collection

[Melissa Melville]

Atari Row with a Dash of Neo Geo

 

My Baby, the original Space Invaders upright made by Taito and later licensed to Midway. This was only sold in Japan and the UK.

 

You like Hairy Apes? I got Hairy Apes!

 

We just sold this, but it is a true classis and programmed by Mr Steve Jobs back when he slummed it at Atari

 

Console photos to come when I get them a bit more organized.

Awesome collection. I am most amazed by the Space Invaders cab. I don't think I have ever seen one like that.

 

Edit: OOP's I did not see where you said it was only sold in the U.K. and Japan when I first looked at the post.

Nice Cabs!

 

I could spend all day there!

Yeah, I am a huge SI geek and this is one of my most treasured possessions. I have been trying to hunt down the Part II the brother to our SI deluxe and have it shipped here from the UK.

 

My console collecting has kind of take a back seat to my upright collecting as of late. For the last year I have been trying to open a barcade in the old warehouse where my office is currently housed. So I have been focusing a lot on acquiring enough uprights to keep potential clientele happy.

 

It has been slow going and now thanks to building management may not happen

I don't think I could ever do that to a Road Blasters RB is one of my favorite driving games of all time. Actually just thinking about it makes me want to go to the office and fire it up.

 

 

I was offered me a Marble Madness yesterday, but it was a wee bit out of my price range. It's such a fun game to play on an upright!

If you don't mind me asking, what were they offering to sell it for? And did it work?

Yes, I can imagine. You have a nice collection but that upright was my favourite as well (the artwork looks familiar to me on the side from when I used to play it).

Yeah, that was a great game to play.

He has it listed on the boston CL right now for $500. I think one of the trackballs needs to be rebuilt which is another $20 and about 30 minutes of time.

 

I haven't seen them come up too often. I have a friend in VT with one as well, but that is in his special lineup.

 

I am not sure if you are on KLOV, but some MM parts came up in the last two weeks. Control panels, etc. It's generally cheaper to buy whole though.

Great arcade you got there! Is FLYNN your real lastname??

 

Ciao, Carlo

Sort of, I am closing up my business at the end of the month. I do fulfillment for cartoonists and toy designers and work out of this warehouse. It's 500,000 square feet and houses a few hundred different studios and offices.

 

The DOD owned it in WWII and stored jeeps and munitions there. The elevators and hallways are big enough to fit a Willy's jeep.

Cool collection! I see you have all 3 Donkey Kongs. Very nice!

[TPA5]

Marry me.

 

 

In all seriousness though, amazing collection! I can't wait till I have room one day to start collecting cabs. Wish I had girls like you around where I live

[retrorussell]

Good work! Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man are hopefully on the horizon.

Wonderful collection, thank you so much for sharing it with us here on AA! I hope you are able to open up your barcade at some point, even if it isn't where you would like it to be.
