I am going on a warehouse raid this afternoon, just a little bit outside of Corpus Christi, Texas....I was told that there are about 100 games in there, ranging from House of the Dead, Time Crisis 2...to Asteroids Deluxe, and I hear...maybe even a Tac/Scan???

Wish me luck...

I will post some pics as soon as I come back...

Nice. Those are always great, even if the seller is an unreasonable pricer. Still fun to wander around.

The new owner of the amusment company got it handed down from his father who retired...and doesn't really want to keep it open...there fore...I was told everything in there was $150-500, some working, most not working

Good luck, man. Pull all the vectors you can. Any pins?

I don't know of any pins...but we will have to wait and see...

You haven't left yet !?!?

He's probably posting from the loading dock, doing the pee pee dance waiting for the guy to show up with the keys.

We expect video,photos, detailed accounts of each machine, and of course expect you to buy at least a truck full.

Eff that I expect a real time video feed. I want to see him climb over the crane machines and fall in between them when he spots what might be a DOTE in the back that turns out to be a b/w photo booth.

I want a photo booth in my game room...

Is your game room big enough to use that much space on something you can do with a tennis ball sized object?

I am hoping for some good Vectors and maybe some DMD pins...or at least SS

It's the atmosphere that matters...
Jeez, why don't you just sell all your pin machines and arcade games and play on a pc. Who needs full-size equipment???

Hrm... a good pin... a cockpit driver... or a dedicated room with a game boy camera in it. That's a tough one.

You have to admit he had a point though.

I'm back...

here are the results:

What I heard as Tac/Scan...well...that was really Pac Man (I'll blame that on my phone

)

There were not to many classics there an Asteroids(extremely water damaged), a broken Galaga (PCB problems), but many gun shooting games, all with gun problems...

Overall, I am going back to pickup a HOTD, a Time Crisis 2, and a SF3strike, and maybe the Galaga...

Did you manage to get any pics so I can agonize over what I would have wanted?

No pics yet, by the time I go there, it was getting too dark for a cell phone camera to work...I am going back though...
