Well, I didn't get a Christmas bonus this year or a kiss from any of my ex girlfriends, so I might as well treat myself. What should I get?

Quoted from Noahs_Arcade:restored bally playboy
I just saw one on eBay and Facebook a few days ago. The “owner” says make him an offer, needs sold ASAP. Fully restored with amazing touch up work on the playfield. I tried to call him back, but he’s not answering my calls or emails? Something doesn’t seem quite right....
Thanks for all the kind words and advice. I think I'm kind of leaning towards either Cyclopes or a restored Playboy. Which would give me more enjoyment?

Cyclopes for sure. It is fun and very deep for an 80s game.

If I ever get to play a Cyclopes I'll let you know. Looks super cool though.

Playboy is a great looking game, but a average playing machine
A lot of great suggestions but I'm kind of on the fence. Actually I'm in a chair. The chase is funner than the game is a totally new concept to me.
What you need is a restored Radical to go next to your restored Skateball-You live in SO Cal-you need to represent. May throw a 720 arcade next to those bad boys as well-SKATE OR DIE!
I am dead serious you need a Radical to go next to Skateball-pair made in So Cal heaven.

Quoted from Buzz:Hit the old dirt track and get a Blackwater.
I had a nice one for a while, but it didn't last very long.

Radical is great and I would love to find a nice example, however I don't think it's high on the list of remake games. In fact it's probably completely off the radar.
Quoted from HighVoltage:BM66SLE!
I saw a SLE in person a couple weeks back and the cabinet side art is simply awesome. No wonder they aren't giving up on this one. But I already have.
Quoted from Mr68:You'd only turn around and sell it year later for double what you paid. Joker...
Only if somebody really twisted my arm. You know how attached I get to these things.
1 week later
Quoted from DK:How many Taito pins are there in the US?
3 games, I have Polar Explorer and Vortex and i traded my Shark to a friend of mine for his Gottlieb Punk.
how about instead of 1 high dollar game. You get 20 low dollar games that can be just as, if not more fun?
Quoted from Gryszzz:You got Pac Man?
No.
You got Space Invaders?
Nope.
Got Asteroids?
Nah, but my dad does sometimes he can't even sit on the toilet.Merry Christmas OD!
Buy a big stack of nudie books baby!
I just realized Cousin Vicki is that chick from 30 Rock!!

Reality is I only had room for one more game if that.
But once I sobered up after the holidays, I went with the majority in the poll and realized I didn't want one of these overpriced shit boxes in my collection after all.
So I bought a Getaway and a bag of high quality weed instead, and am very happy with my decision.
Quoted from ToucanF16:Forget everything else, get at BBB.
Classic! Now this guy just put his BBB up for sale and he is as local as it gets and is willing to trade for a Getaway. lol.
Not gonna happen bro.

I would have said cosmic gunfight, but to each his own. 
Least you know when the shit hits the fan, that's a game you can actually fix the boards for. Unlike the new disposable crap we are dished out these days.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Pretty sure my next one gonna be JD. We FINALLY have a few locations (hour away) and that's the one I keep dropping coin on.
Now that takes me back! Rocking soundtrack and violent theme! I dropped a bunch of coin on JD back in the day, and if I hadn't already owned three of them, it would be high on the to get list.
But remember, JD is only a $1400 game folks!

Yeah, the flippers, shooters and everything else works just fine on all my WPC and prior games. And I'm not waiting on some bug fix for a software glitch just so I can play them.

Get a Playboy where the restorer painted over one of their eyes.
