Yeah, I'm really really happy. It's number one of the top 5 arcade games I don't own that I need before I die. I never EVER see them in california so when this one popped up in san diego I was all over it.

I must have a Super Mario Bros, Pac-Man, and Daytona before I die.

That's pretty cool. Congrats on winning it!

I can't say I've ever played the game, but it looks like a lot of fun.

One of my favorite games of all time! I got the highscore on one of the machines near me. 27 Wins, 17 Losses.

I'd like to start buying my own machines. How difficult is it to find them?

You have NO idea. It's hell trying to find the one you want. Finding crap is easy. Finding some like Virtual On in next to impossible outside of Ebay. I've hit up arcades, but they either just lease their machines, or they won't sell, and then I'll come backa month later, and they sold it to some collector. It's a game of timing.

I've always secretly tinkered with that idea. There's this place back in my hometown that has the original TMNT arcade -- and I'm pretty damn sure they don't make any money from it, considering they're closed for like eleven months out of the year.

That, and a nice Street Fighter II: Champion Edition cabinet would be nice.


Oh, and Archon Turtle, aside from the price you paid for the actual machine, what's the shipping like on something like that? Or do you pick it up yourself?
