Baby Pac-man. What a bizarre game. I loved it the first time I played it nearly 35 years ago.

It's in good shape and came with an Alltek MPU board. Playfield is very clean and missing no artwork. I'm going to consider LEDs for it because currently it runs hotter than that Simpsons sitting next to it.

Don't need a lot of shots of it because people know it pretty well.

If I know anything about Kiss from eBay and Craigslist, you just picked up around $11,000 in pinball! Congratulations!

Got a pretty good deal on a Hurricane on auction. Drove 8 hours to get it. I am not doing that again. Rubbers are dead and GI has issues, and the machine is FILTHY dirty but I wanted a project. Guy I bought it from said "the flappers didn't work."

I can confirm the flappers did indeed work.

Got a pretty nice Firepower from a nice gentleman about an hour away. I get to decide how much of a restore I want to do!

I had a picture of me driving with the game in the back of the car as people like to do but the game was unrecognizable, and my face looked unrecognizable as well. Seriously I looked like Walter Matthau after a three day bender. I was going to have people guess what the game was but it was completely undiscernable based upon the picture.

I got a Who Dunnit.

I am absolutely thrilled that I was able to pick up a Star Wars: Episode I. I know many people hate it but to me it represents the Hail Mary of the industry. I am a Star Wars lunatic. I remember in 2000 going to a Dave and Busters and seeing this for the first time and being enthralled at this machine. I loved pinball then but this just made me feel like it was getting ready to explode again. Little did I know.

I love this game.

I believe it is a reimport, the monitor needs work, and the floro tube needs replaced in the backbox but the playfield is marvelous. Completely marvelous.

I am so lucky.

Absolutely incredible.

I got really, really lucky.

Yeah, it was. I got very lucky. Very nice person, knew what he had, just needed it gone. I wasn't the first caller, but I was the first who offered him what he was asking. The rest were offering $200, $250, saying it wasn't worth much, stuff like that. Sometimes this hobby brings out some real winners.

He held the game for me just based on the fact that I offered what he asked. I told him if someone else offers more to go ahead and take it and I wouldn't hold it against him, but he said he was a man of his word and it was the truth.

Some stellar pickups lately!

I’ve always wanted this game. It’s one of those that would be difficult to replicate due to licensing. It’s dirty and needs ColorDMD’ed and LED’ed. My favorite kind of project.

Got a couple pins at Allentown, was such a great time. Jackbot was prearranged, but World Poker Tour was a bit of a surprise. Undocumented HUO for a good price and the game plays like a dream!

Hot Shots is a shooter’s dream. The music is hilarious!

Picked up a South Park yesterday for a pretty good deal. Happy to get it, as it's one of my favorite cartoons and guests are going to love it. It'll go in Cartoon Row with The Simpsons and Popeye.
