Whitch cab´s are you still looking for as a "must have"/grail/wishful thinking

[Superully]

Really? i'll keep my spare then 

why? i bet you paid 50 for it when you got it back then. would be quite a win for you ...

[level42]

Hmmmmm....looks like were going to get an England vs. Germany after all.........

[Alpha1]

:-)

Actually I paid £1400 just to ship it from the USA!

[level42]

....and England scores just before the whistle !!!!

....and England scores just before the whistle !!!!

damn it, where's the penalty shootout when you need one?

oll (hopefully) knows that i was just kiddin', were those EDOTs even released in europe?

[level42]

I very much doubt it. I don't even think the other Tron games were...at least I only learned about them when I got into this hobby, don't remember them from BITD.

[Alpha1]

Yeah edot and trons were, a lot of the Bally Midway games were.

I remember playing an edot as a child with my friend in a holiday park. We could both fit in at once!!

[Q*ris]

There was definitely and EDOT (and a TRON) at the belgian seashore when I was a kid.
I think I even know where that particular EDOT is living now

Hey that's a Dutch license !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cultural heritage illegally smuggled from our beautiful country !!

So this is your main one and the spare one came from the US ?

Ok I will accept it as your token of appreciation for picking up the Sega Bomber and Taito Western Gun......

Seriously: this proves very much I'm wrong about thinking they weren't imported here....

[DarthNuno]

Well, I guess the games I really really really wanted ...are now mine BUT to be complete, here's the missing ones :

1. SEGA R360
(it's me playing on that monster for the very last time, in London Trocadero - 2005)

This game represent the finest technology used for a video game. It was a real competition at the time : who will create the craziest arcade game!
In addition, it will looks great close the the other arcade monster from that era : Namco Galaxian Theater 

2. EDOT


That 'environmental' cabinet is simply perfect. The theme is the ultimate one in the video game world : Tron!
I'm simply in love with that one.


3. AIRLINE PILOTS



Another big boy that requires a lot of space, but guys, that game deserves it for me! I agree there's not a lot of 'action' in this game, but each time I have the opportunity to play it, I DO!
It's a really 'zen' game! The triple screen is really Immersive. I already had two opportunity to buy it, but I won't miss the third one     

4. KUNG-FU MASTER FOUND!



It's just a game I really love and so, I would like the dedicated version of course. I only seen one, at Rav's place in 2007. It wasn't for sale at the time, and l8ter... it was already sold.
Anyway, I'm still looking for that one!

5. ASSAULT FOUND!


Same reason than Kung Fu Master. I remember Oliver had many of them (different version?), but they were not for sale at the time. Maybe now? 

Of course, I'll still up for other games opportunities/rarities , in order to fill my 'nice to have' list  But If I had to pick up only 5 'must have ' games I'm still looking for, it would be these 5 ones...

[Superully]

here's my updated list:

(1) BUDWEISER TAPPER (with color sideart): basically everything's just perfect about that game (design, artwork, music, gameplay, ...)

FOUND!!!

(2) PONG: because it's pong, need i say more?

(3) YELLOW COMPUTER SPACE: simply the coolest looking arcade cabinet EVER

(4) TRACK & FIELD: fabulous cabinet design and artwork, amazingly addictive and funny game - especially when played with a couple of friends

FOUND!!!

(5) either one of the following games

R-Type
Discs of Tron FOUND!!!
Tron
Robotron 2048
Dragon’s Lair
Galaxian
Tempest
Joust FOUND!!!
Star Wars
Scramble FOUND!!!
Burger Time
Satan's Hollow
I, Robot
Major Havoc
Lunar Lander
Gravitar
Black Widow
Gyruss
Phoenix

there's a few select more, but i'm slowly getting there ...

[ckong]

This is difficult, there are lots of great games still to be deisred. But for now my top 5 would be:

Nr. 1: Moon Cresta

FOUND

OK, it is a Moon crest by Zaccaria, but the game is Moon cresta and the cab is beautiful. So this is good enough for me.  



Nr. 2: Tempest

DELETED

I still like the game very much, but by now I already have some great SHMUP's and plenty of vector games.

Nr. 3: Gyruss

FOUND  



Nr. 4. Frogger



What is there to say, very fun and addictive gameplay and I like the looks of the woodgrain cabinet. I´m hoping that this game will also end up in my collection one day.

Nr. 5: Juno First.

For pictures, see this topic. This seems to be a popular game, which is highly desriabel but hard to get. As Tempest I played this game for the first time at the South Coast Slam and I loved every minute of it. Would be great to add to my other games.

This is my top 5 2 for now, and there is little chance that it will change. But as I sais, there are lots of other great games, like R-Type, BurgerTime, etc.

This is my updated wish list. So, if anyone knows a Juno First or a Frogger for sale, please give me a ring. I'm in for trades.

Donkey kong junior  FOUND !!!

Punch out
