YES!!! finally CC is coming to your place. as you guys know, i'm a H-U-G-E CC fan and can't understand why that game doesn't get the attention and love it deserves. eventually a CC will end up at my place, too - that's a promise  :-*

Cause it sucks !


 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Just teasing. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but it's not too bad to play. It just doesn't "pull the trigger" with me.
I love the cab though....

one of the best side art design ever, I think. 3-dimensional MC Esher like stuff.  :ghost: :ghost:

It's a classic ! :D

B.t.w., how is that CC fixed to the pallet ? It looks to stand loose on it, which doesn't make sense...
Title: Re: CC comming home...

also the way the transporter stashed his pallet truck, i hope he dont have a bumpy ride....

A real beutiful game for all who played it in the childhood at the beginning of the '80

Also a great accent for all the collections because it is a really particular cab to show

in this case from the photos seems also kept with extreme caution

a must have

Weeh! - recieved the CC today, was delivered to the company where i work, and i spoke to the
shipping courier... he said he could have sold it 3 times at least!!!!! glad he did´nt!

The cab is in good condition, only a few dents on the front

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/crystalcastles6.jpg)

On the right side theres a little breakof of the side in the top, but this is an easy fix!

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/crystalcastles5.jpg)

Close up....

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/crystalcastles4.jpg)

The eft side is in better condition, only a small piece has been scraped of at the top...

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/crystalcastles3.jpg)

Closeup of the CP, needs a cleanup, so does the trackball..

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/crystalcastles2.jpg)

theres a lot of greese inside, ill clean that tomorrow!

Very nice, congratulations with that one.

I suppose the damages on the sidepanesl didn't ocuur during transport, did they? I mean, you were aware of it. But indeed a pretty easy fix, with 'Bondo'. What would we do witout it?  ???
Title: Re: CC comming home...
Post by: Muerto on December 01, 2009, 05:02:26 PM
no, the damage was there when i bought it.

Post by: level42 on December 01, 2009, 07:38:13 PM
I already found it hard to believe it would be loose on the pallet....

Good to see it arrived safely, and pretty quick too ! May I ask what the costs was for this transport ?

Love the cab !

Post by: Muerto on December 01, 2009, 09:06:52 PM
the total cost of shipping: 208€
not bad at all!, consider if i had to pick it up myself, i would have to drive all the way + ferry/euro-tunnel
don´t think it could be done for under 208€!

today i finally had some time to clean and test the game...., though i think i buy a new trackball (i put a new one in my Centipede and it was 100 times better that the one it came with.. )

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/cccab.jpg)

Maby ill put in a new monitor..... Serious burn in!

(http://muerto.superfreehost.org/arc/ccburnin.jpg)

wonderful, but that is some SERIOUS screen burn! and your row of games just looks awesome!

is the berzerk working? ;)

how many more games can you fit into your gameroom?
Title: Re: CC comming home...
Post by: Muerto on December 10, 2009, 06:59:30 PM
regarding the Berzerk... YES!  ::)

Well, i think i can fit at least 16 more games in there, but after that it will start to get really crowded!
