Quoted from winteriscoming:and my wife doesn't worry that I've brought bedbugs into the house from a previous owner.
Glad to hear Im not the only one whose wife worries about bedbugs coming home in a game.
I dont know why anyone would want to be a snob and knock these games, so they aren’t original, who cares...for the most part its just as fun to play them as an original machine.
Its still about the fun, right?
Quoted from dsmoke1986:This entire thread is sacreligiuos; I'm heading back to KLOV...
Sacreligiuos is the new imamaculate.
Quoted from bayoubilly70:Sounds great... I'd buy them as well. Where? If they have original Black Widow game I'd like one of those as well. I used to play the heck out of that one on location back in the early 1980s... as well as an original Quantum that I used to play on location as well.
Where do you buy these? If its not a big treasure hunt over several years / decades I'm interested. If it is, then arcade1up is fine with me for my fix. I'm not paying $300 for hopefully working Quantum boards and then still have to get the rest of the cabinet / monitor to build the darn thing.
Anytime Ive seen anything original Quantum its a hell of a lot more than that. An empty cabinet with no boards in mediocre shape went for 3 grand at an arcade auction last year.
Black Widow not much less. Its nuts.
Fairly accurate arcade game pricing is online at Exidy Arcade Price Guide... Has stand up Red Baron 1000-1800. The cockpit version at 2500. These are mint condition prices I believe.
If the yoke is durable I think the Star Wars one would be awesome. I have an original yoke Ive been holding onto for years thinking one day I would use it to build a MAME cabinet and run Star Wars in it. If this Arcade 1 up version yoke has the nuts to hold up to heavy play without breaking Im totally interested in just picking up one of these instead of building something.
Quoted from paynemic:Look what showed up at my place! Going to try to install tonight.[quoted image]
Please post a review when you get a chance to play a few games!
Quoted from marcand:ENDLESS fiddling with settings (unless you had an amazing friend set it up for you)
Yes to this. I got a buddy to build a really nice bartop unit for me with the Raspberry Pi and the first thing I did was accidentally screw up the settings and its a royal pain to get the controls set up right for the games. Such a pain in fact all Ive been playing are simple two or four way games with one or two buttons. Robotron or Mortal Kombat? Forget about it, I cant get the damn controls set up right to save my life.
