Rochester, NY
Quoted from gearheaddropping:I have had a Gorgar in the household for almost 9 years. My wife objected at first saying it was too dark, but she finally agreed.
All four of my kids have grown up with the tale that a miniature Gorgar creature actually lives inside our machine. The older ones would perpetuate it with the younger ones, etc., etc. I always kind of joked about it and they would laugh. Its become kind of a running family "fairy-tale".
Our Gorgar was down for the past 2 years and I finally got it working again this past weekend. The kids were all so excited...even though they are now entering high school and middle school.
I think the game is timeless. But I do agree with John Dayhuff, it is probably not easy to resell.
Gogar was one of the titles that I bought multiples of. It must have been popular in my area as most operators had several in deep storage. I would keep the best cabinet, play field, and glass for myself, and repair and sell off the rest. I loved the game and thought one would always be a part of my collection. At that time a lot of my new contacts for buying as well as selling came, as a phone call stating a friend of a friend told me about you. Most times if people asked about a particular pin it was Gogar. People would often ask what was my favorite pin, it was usually the last one I had restored. As space became a problem I let the last Gogar go. Only the lack of room prevents me from joining this club. This comment is not About Gogar. I thought my three year old was pretty sophisticated about pins. He had been subjected to the sounds of pinball before being born, and never knew a house with out at least 20 pins set up in the basement. One day he comes to me and asks "daddy, is Rudy's body inside the bottom of Fun House?"
