OK... I was looking for 'it' since a while 8)
Since my last London trip where I used to play the game, I was strongly looking to buy one...
Regarding the London trip... :arrow:

... and I finally found one in france, for a reasonable price, regarding the year of that game and its great general condition :)
Well, here we go with the biggest road trip I ever done (even bigger than the roadtrip done in UK to bring back Star Wars cockpit & Dragon's Lair II) :arrow:
Thursday evening : I rent this :arrow:

Done this one seven years ago... time flies :oops:
I've sold that SWTA last year... I would prefer to own the upright version if you ask me, same great game but much smaller in size :P
