Special Road Trip this time for me, the biggest one (6 cabinets) and the fastest (0 km).
As Paul uses a "cheap" shipping company it was cheaper for me to receive them than going to Germany to pick up them (van renting + gaz...) so let's start!!!!
Step 1:
The beginning, 3 big and heavy pallets:

We had to move them quickly in the house as it started to rain but...
-
SIX cabs!!!!! what a buy :shock: :shock:
-
Jesus Christ... This is it... 6 cabinets from Paul... I already know some of them, but I don't know what are the six games you got :P
I'm waiting the pictures... and I'm already ready to cry (jealous mode=ON) :P ;)
-
First problem: the cabs arrived faster than I thought and I still had on the gaming room a Hard Drivin' cabinet that I want to sell (very large and heavy cabinet), so I had to put this cabinet outside near an old gaz pump I found few month ago, good place for a driving simulator ;D :

SIX cabs!!!!! what a buy :shock: :shock:
As I knew that Paul planned to import a container of cabinets and I had some extra cash I saved them for this occasion ;)
-

Frogger

Frogger Good but not Atari :shock: are you sick ???
-
Is that Hard Drivin' working ?
Please don't let it outside...it will definitely be killed....
Oh and congrats on the 6 cabs :D
-
What a cabs :o Congratulations, quite an impressive add to any collection.

Yes it is "almost" working, there is a problem with the wheel, don't worry it is protected from the rain (for the moment).

For information, I have a set of 2 side arts for sale, but according the pictures, you won't need them ;)
Congratulation for your new games :) Now I'm waiting the 'master piece' pictures :P :P :P
-

(http://www.atarimania.com/franck/rt16.jpg)
Now I have to test all of them and make the ToDo list....
-
Now I come to think of it, this thread is a bit of a bummer, as I was expecting 6 roadtrips, but I get none. :'(
;) :D
-
Wow. the Dutch arcade "scene" has gained a lot today ! ;)

Well, these games were located few weeks in Germany, but now... they are in France :P
But following all the cabinets imported by Paul, the European arcade community will change a little bit ::) ;D
-
:o :o :o
-
Damn, so many new members, I get confused ! :S
O well, change "Dutch" to "European" ;D ;D
-
No problem, "European" is fine ;D ;D
-
well done ! honour is safe for Atari !
-
WOW - what a pickup! :shock: :shock: :shock:
must be one of the best pickups E-V-E-R!
i'm totally jealous of that frogger and of course the i,robot - well done!
-
wooooh!
That I-Robot is massive compared to the nintendo next to it!
-
six in one ! impressive!
Goodluck with your catch !
-
Great cabinets! Waiting for all those beauty to be delivered (i mean, the exact day of the delivery) should be a pain :)
did you sleep the night before? :D
-
Wow, nice catch! I really love those Nintendo Cabs. And of course all the rest of your cabs :D Impressive collection!
-
Wait, are we December 24 already? drool... drool... drool... ;)
What a collection! congrats! (+I also spotted a gorgeous Crystal Castles cab in the background of one of your pic).
Let us know about the restorations, I can't wait to see the inside of those beasts.
-
Let's hope you will get all your games running soon. I don't really like the bulky design of the I-robot cabinet, but it's very cool to own the first polygon game ever. Never played it though, must be a blast!
-
Yes I was very excited to receive them :)
Next step (this week-end I think) :
Open all the cabs and test them.
I already know that the frogger is working fine, I started the DK Jr. and the I, Robot, they start but the I think that the PCB are faulty as the games reboot...
-
I, Robot is one of my favourite EVER games. It is simply an AMAZING game. It is up there with Gravitar, Major Havoc and Starwars for complete awesomeness.
