Anyone ever try (or have) one of these? (Super Shot Basketball like arcade)

So I just bought a new house, and although it is a bit small, I do have a garage. I was thinking, one of my all time favorite games growing up (and now) would be Skeeball SUPER SHOT... but ... since those things are like $5K I was looking at these alternatives.

Has anyone ever seen these in person, or know of any good alternatives (building plans for Super Shot etc..)?

Free Throw Duel Basketball Game
or
Harvard Double Shootout Basketball Game

The above choices are pretty reasonably priced, I just want to make sure it's still "fun".

EDIT: I noticed that UncleT has something similar, but not sure if it's the "same"

I don't think the smaller ones really capture what the larger ones have.  It doesn't look like it would be difficult to build one of those and it would probably be much cheaper.

hmm anyone got any building plans out there ... I may just have to make a few trips to Dave n Busters with a Tape Measure...

bigster:
Have i one of the ones in the op, got it at target on super clearance it is awesome....

Opps... that was 40 bucks shipped....   Have you looked on craigslist?  I still think finding an old cheap home one might be a good start (backboard/rim/balls), then building your own.   

As for designs.  I bet you could copy the basics from images of the others, or just go into an arcade/chuck-e-cheese.  I still see those everywhere.  

btw, happcontrols.com have the balls, the nets, but not the rims for the smaller size.  I think this might be the trouble you'll find.  And those rims might not be easy to just build.
