Cebus Capucinis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm looking to complete my arcade-based board game collection. These are split up by rarity, and I'm willing to pay out the yin-yang for the ultra rare stuff. If you've got it, PM me, let's work out a deal! I'm looking for: EXTREME RARE / HIGH BOUNTY ($100-$300): Blueprint (Flip 'R Cade games) Pooyan (Flip 'R Cade games) Tutankham (Flip 'R Cade games) Tower of Druaga Super Mario Brothers 3 Super Mario Brothers TRON: Assault on MCP Lode Runner Turtles Ghosts n' Goblins Street Fighter II World Warriors Card Game (not the trading card game) Mortal Kombat Card Game (not the trading card game) RARER / HIGHER BOUNTY ($25-75): Milton Bradley Electronic Arcade Mania Centipede Legend of Zelda Sonic the Hedgehog Dragon's Lair Defender Jungle Hunt Pitfall! Invader THE REGULAR STUFF ($10-$50): Donkey Kong Donkey Kong (Card game) Q*Bert Pac-Man Magnetic Maze Frogger Tetris Street Fighter II THE 'MEH' STUFF (GET IT OUT OF A DUMPSTER IF I CAN): Donkey Kong Jenga I'm not as interested in the fighting games, but if you have any of these -- PM me. I'm willing to pay quite handsomely for the extremely rare stuff. The parentheses give you a good idea as to what the bounties I have on these games are -- depending on condition, of course.

Atari_Bill Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I love (and collect) the arcade board games myeself. You got several on your list that I didn't know even existed. Thanks now I gotta hunt them down LOL! The Electronic Arcade Mania is pretty cool. I have a MIB copy of it, but never really realized it had any rarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I just got Wizard of Wor, which was a long, arduous search. Most of the ones that aren't already on your list are likely impossible to find, I've been looking for titles like Blueprint, Tutankham, Tower of Druaga, and Ghost n' Goblins for literally years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wow, that is sweet! That is one I've never seen. Nice pickup! I don't have a ton of the arcade based board games, but several decent ones such as Arcade Mania, Turtles, Dragon's Lair, Centipede, and Zaxxon off the top of my head. Mostly the mainstream stuff. I've always been a bit partial to board games. I was pretty into them maybe 10 years ago and have boxes of them in the basement that I haven't messed with in some time. I do remember copies of Dark Tower, Voice of the Mummy, and Which Witch down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 You have Turtles? Nice! The Entex games are ludricously hard to find, it seems. They used to be relatively common, quite a few people have Invader and Defender. I've found some of my list on several websites, and there's a couple out there on eBay, but most of them aren't 100% complete. Turtles is definitely the rarest of them, and it's another one I only vaguely recall seeing on eBay and other sites once a few years ago, but I was broke at the time and couldn't buy it. Non-arcade board game related, you ever want to offload that Voice of the Mummy and Which Witch, let me know. I've been looking for both of those for quite some time. Arcade Mania isn't super rare, but it is hard to find anymore. That's one I've got a couple inroads in on another site or two for a pretty good price, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. So far the most elusive seem to be Tower of Druaga, Ghosts n' Goblins (as both are Japanese imports), Lode Runner (I believe it wasn't sold in retail stores, only as an add-on item to another purchase or mail-order), and the other Flip 'R Cade games. The other Flip 'R Cade games are almost like ghost stories or urban legends in how infrequently they're even mentioned. Tutankham was only rumored to exist for the longest time, and I honestly believe there's only 3 copies out there remaining (and that's a liberal estimate, as BoardGameGeek only shows 2 owners). I'd have to say Tower of Druaga is probably my "holy grail" for this collection. I'm pretty sure it was a combination of both only being mail-order and also exclusive to Japan, so it will be near impossible to find one in the wild, and the whole 1 collector I know that has it won't sell, LOL! EDIT: Humorously enough, of course, as soon as I finally find one, another one shows up. Looks like a seller on BoardGameGeek has a Wizard of Wor for $50, which is a damn good price. I did pay less than that for mine, but there were certain "factors" in mine that made it less, but it's a good ballpark as to what some of these should sell for. My copy still has the stickers on the sheet and the pieces in the sealed bag, so I might have to buy that second one to actually play the game.

Atari_Bill Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Only 1 Which Witch that I know of, but I'm pretty sure I have a few Mummy's. I do know that they all have issues with the record player though (as most do). I'll keep you in mind when I manage to dig them out again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ok it looks like I have Centipede, Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Q*Bert. I'll check tonight if they have all the pieces. I also have these if you need them: Pac-Man (card game) Turbo Zaxxon Pac-Man (board game) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 How the heck did I miss the edit on this? I'll send a PM right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can scratch three off the list thanks to Mr. Tempest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just got a huge haul of these games thanks to dr. kwack! I will take pics when they arrive, but the collection is getting so much closer to completion now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Is this the Mario Bros one you're after? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Is this the Mario Bros one you're after? No! OH DEAR GOD I MUST HAVE IT EDIT: Actually, it's pretty cool, but it would be relatively low on the list. I'm not actively trying to collect Nintendo IP board games, just arcade stuff. This also seems more like 'toy' than 'board game' in a traditional sense. I'd definitely want it, but it's not a high bounty item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
