I would also bet that the guy actually gave a fairly realistic assessment that they chopped up to make look like that. For all we know the question was "what would a real ms pac cocktail sell for at retail" and that's where the $1200 answer comes in.

It's so obvious they edited the heck out of that clip.

And how about we destroy all directive works, Period?
If it wasnt for the SF hacks, Capcom wouldnt have Wised up, and gave the people what they really wanted.
And if it wasnt for the many bootlegs, many of the original mame roms would have taken a lot longer, if ever, to break their decryption.
A 40-in-1 pcb is a legal joke, so long as you dont put the thing in an arcade. Its the equivalent of J-Walking. It harms nobodys income. Its doesnt change the value of a real 25+yr old classic machine.
(not that it even matters) I guarantee that most people here are doing things much more illegal that selling a bootleg pcb... such as downloading a current tv / movie / song. (which Does effect earnings / profit)
Just because it was on tv, means nothing. For all it matters, it could have been a SFII Rainbow hack.
Its not like they are selling live livers on the damn show.
You people need to take a chill pill.
Your OCD / Nazi-Ism is off the charts.

You never actually quoted me but it seems clear that you are talking about me in this case.
I actually never once mentioned anything about the legality, warez or anything similar. I also never once mentioned anything about the appraised price. What i did say is that they were clearly trying to pass this off as an original ms pacman cabinet while every other item on the show was thoroughly checked for authenticity. Reproductions were clearly shown and laid out in the open. They even went as far as to measure items prior to appraisal in order to make sure the said items were not reproductions. It's quite obvious that they were trying to pass this off as a legitimate ms pacman that would otherwise be a collectors item and be more valuable.
As for the rest of your statement, It's always nice to see someone show a little class when it comes to disagreeing with someone's opinions.
ChadTower:
The Pinball Wizard in NH is not an old one still in business. It is, coincedentally, a year old today.
Well Fed Games:
I just think it is funny that they obviously did not want to dedicate airtime to the difference between a modern XX-in-1 board and a dedicated cabinet, which to people who are interested in old/collectible things (surely part of their viewer base), might have been worthwhile.
ed12:
what i find funny is they never open the cab up for a look see
if they did u would find the pix'a i am going to post
right out of a :real-pacman:
so to the point i have to go with howard on this 1
where these show's are 50/50 to watch,u want to keep in your mind
they are paid for ppl,with nothing to lose at all
to think there real,think again
