All of the wedgeheads are much enjoyed. My favorites are Strange World and Blue Note.

This was my luckiest wedgehead find. My Hit the Deck was purchased new upon release by a local funeral home, designed to "kill time" while employees awaited their next customer. The game has never had an active coin mechanism for this reason.

Before I acquired her, she spent her entire life in an extraordinarily quiet, temperature-controlled environment. I call it my "funeral home use only" game.

It was in Gloucester County. I will ask my friend, who supplied the lead about 12 years ago. The funeral home's landscaper purchased the game and had it briefly before he left his wife (and house) and evidently ran off with another woman. He left behind Hit the Deck and a Segasa Monaco. I almost bought Monaco as well because, like HtD, it too was in exceptionally nice condition.

If only game had a bank of drop (dead) targets. . .

TKO's fun derives more from its novelty as a scarce title, in my opinion.
In contrast, the 3 Osborne titles keep me coming back game after game. . .three of the best wedgeheads, especially Strange World and Blue Note.

Congrats on a phenomenal line-up.

Only 3 wedgeheads remain in my line-up of the original 7: Blue Note, Big Hit and Strange World.

Nevertheless, these 3 represent a "spinner" game, a "drop-target" game and a "rollover" game. This diversity makes the absence of the other great titles less painful.

Indeed, college tuition for my daughter has resulted in the reduction of my 50+ game collection to 25 games.
