A 1983 3d Sitdown Subroc on Marktplaats

[Ronald Reagan]

check this one out, a 1983 3D sitdown game SUBROC

http://link.marktplaats.nl/339336316

is this our Marktplaats 'friend' or is this the infamous man from Den Helder from which Ckong bought his DK?

[Superully]

to be honest, i had never heard of that game before, but from what i've just read the game itself seems to be rather boring apart from the 3d effect which of course makes it interesting again   

but 1000 euros for a non-working game "non-graily" game is imho way too much. and there's one thing i just don't get: judging from the picture, how is one supposed to sit in that cab while staring through the 3d goggles at the same time. i'd like to see the person who can do that 

who knows that game?

[DarthNuno]

Wow  a Subroc for sale, here in Europe?  ...and the cockpit version 

Impressive !!!

I'm a big fan of this game. I agree it may be a little bit boring to play, but it's a common reflexion we can use for a lot of our 'old' games after all?  except for those who were fan of it, like I'm for this one 

Well, in fact I used to play this game on my Colecovision like a mad man, and I do not remember played the real thing in the Arcade... except last year at Funspot   



Well, I would like to see the real picture of the game for sale 

To be honest, this game is not in my 'must have' list, but it would be a nice addition  Anyway, I do not have room now for such thing, and the price asked won't help  Anyway, I'm curious to know more about this, and of course, I would like to see real pictures of the cab for sale

I smell our fake-boy again....internet pictures, extremely rare cab, it has all the elements.

BUT, I know via-via there's supposed to be a collector in that place....

I'll believe it when I see original pictures and not internet pictures....

Mmmm, there's a phonenumber this time....

[Superully]

i've just sent him an email ! well, at least there's a phone number there, so it doesn't sound too fake - and the starting bid is 1000 bucks, if i remember correctly the fake auctions always started with one euro.

is that you bruno behind the periscope? man, that thing looks HUGE, probably because of the steps in front of the cabinet!

[level42]

No, Bruno is just not so tall

[gyruss]

Did you notice that the cabinet playing Black Tiger next to you is a Paperboy?

[Muerto]

youre right!!! poor PB!!!

[Superully]

got word back from the seller, he bought the machine 1995 as is, never opened or started it. It doesn't have any heavy damages, it is stored in his garage, he is selling it because they are going to demolish the garage.
He doesn't have good pics at the moment, first he has to sell the fitness equipment which is in front of it !

here's his homepage: www.marcovos.com - what a show-off  "pictures of my mercedes ..." jesus christ!!!

Yes 

Hey, he's fan of Jordan Rudess, keyboard player of one of my all time favorite band : Dream Theater

............... is this the infamous man from Den Helder from which Ckong bought his DK? ..............

I'm the guy Ckong bought his DK from, what's so infamous about me?

[Superully]

i told marco that i think 1000 euros is too much for that machine, he said 800 because it's so rare. he can keep it! 

[ckong]

Knowing where he lives (Den Helder), and seeing his impressive collection at VAPS, he must be the mysterious Dutch arcade collector I heard some people talking about. He has some really great games like Qbert, Tempest, DOT and EDOT. Yes, I'm sure that it is him.

Unbelievable, and this in The Netherlands. Never thought that that was possible.
