I actually removed that after the pic.
That is his game, I was joking with him before Allentown that I was going to bring it to sell. He told me that was his game and he doesn't just take my games and sell them.

That makes two of us, I have looked for this title for years to no avail.
Here is a pic of a restored one next to my Beat Time and Magic City @ CAX in '06.

If your son wants to come to summer camp in lovely Colorado, I have a number of EMs that could use some TLC.

Wonderful. Glad to see this kid has drive and inclined to roll up his sleeves and get dirty.
Got a good chuckle out of his answer to you selling HIS machine.

One more great addition to the hobby.
Get him a pinside and let him post pics of his work. I remember following the home version fireball thread. Great to see kids with this level of detail and willingness.
