Title: Help me finish my arcade row from Life Magazine
Post by: Tyrem on April 26, 2014, 02:00:51 PM
I might have told you one or two (or three) times that I am on a mission. I want this row in my basement.

(http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/contests/Nov1982/images/Life/Life-street.jpg)

So far I managed to get Tempest, Defender and Donkey Kong. This means that I am looking for

Ms. Pac-Man
Tutankham and
Centipede

I know these babies are out there, some even right here in Germany. Help me to make my dream come true. :)

Cheers guys! Have a great weekend!

i've been trying to get in touch with rav for quite a while now regarding the TUT and especially his I ROBOT, but he simply doesn't answer. don't know what made me be a part of his bad trader spam filter ... :'(

Ravs old one was an Irish one. I collect the Irish games. It needs a damn good restoration as it's been hacked about a bit so the best way to do that is to have an untouched original to compare with.
