to quote a popular american arcade guy: "OMGWTFBBQ"!!! believe it or not, i found another "nest of games" today!!! and believe it or not, here's what i saw first upon entering
can you believe it,
another midway's space encounters - and this one is in so much nicer condition (almost no rust) than the one i already have PLUS it is complete. in all my years of collecting i had never seen a space encounters "live" - and now there's two!!!
anyway, there was also another interesting game in really good condition (apart from being dirty): blasteroids! while it is / was not at the top of my wanted list, it's a nice fun game to have. we plugged it in, monitor came on, we dropped in a coin and played a round. the game is fully working!!!
originally, i just wanted to go there to check out the place and see if i could find some hidden gems there, but when i asked the owner how much he wants to have for the games, he said he'll make me a good price if i take both of them. well, the price was too good to let go: i paid 80 euros -
FOR BOTH GAMES!!!
i will most likely part out the first space encounters from the abandoned pizzeria and either scrap the cab or give it away to someone who wants it ...
there's also a universal galaxy wars up for grabs, but i'm not interested in it! anyone else maybe?
finally, he also has a couple of pinballs for sale! he already sold the following: Bally Kiss, Bally Embryon and Williams Lasercue. stills available is another Williams Lasercue, Williams Timewarp (two of them), Williams Trizone, Williams Flash and Gottlieb's Cleopatra. in case your interested, drop me a pm!!! however, i can already tell you they won't go as cheap as the videogames, the ones he sold ranged from 250 - 750 euros - don't know if that is a good price or not.
btw, the owner told me he had another videogame which he sold for 50 euros a few days before i went there: a mario-style game, he said. OMGWTFBBQ - hope this wasn't a donkey kong i missed out on ...
