You need to include a picture of the filled trailer! We want to vicariously live through that purchase!! At least I do lol
I wouldn't say he was 'in the hobby'. More like he designed things the hobby consists of, definitely a higher level. Very cool that you got to meet him and purchase some of his games!!

He was in the hobby. He showed me pictures of when his basement was completely FULL of mostly pins with a couple arcades.
Awesome! That was a great deal and if I lived in the area I'd have been all over it.
Loved the thread and how everybody jumped on him at first (I did too. In jest. I Keed! I keed!)
How did the games turn out? Especially the old school HUO stuff like Black Knight.
Quoted from chad:So who scored the Banzai Run??
His son. Unbelievably beautiful game.

Really exciting meeting him. Super nice guy. I kept the Blaster, Stargate, Black Knight and STNG.

Oh, Larry Demar's personal Black Knight?
I really would like to know which ROM version that one has. Still on the hunt for L1 and L2.

I heard those Duromold cabinets like Blaster were problematic because they'd roll around in the truck if you didn't strap them in.

There's urban legends that the monitor would get too hot and melt the shelf it was resting on
The entire thing was made of plastic?! LOL
seems like a bad idea. Lots of cigs, lighters, and mischevious kids at arcades back then.

Alledgedly ejecting out of the game is what I read once. Not too sure on the statement...
