Cruisn USA
pinballwizard79:
Eh its a bust, I just wont put that thing in my gameroom.....its not up to snuff :'(.
$500, 8 hour round trip, 450 round trip miles to KC & all that for a Cruisn World converted from Cruisn USA that has missing formica, missing artwork torn off (& its USA artwork, not world), very dirty/rusty, monitor burn in & no answer regarding the working status of the force feedback.
I know someone will buy it, its not a horrible deal, if it wasn't going to be sitting on white shag carpet maybe it would have been mine :dunno.
Weak, I would rather shell out another $250-$350 @ Super Auctions for a newer Cruisn Exotica
Anyway, thanks for the replies everyone.....& Frizzle, get some newer games man >:D (just kidding, I am jelous of dedicated classics bro).

To my mind, the Cruis'n series rates as a classic, if only because they are Jarvis games. The man makes stuff that is just too fun not to play.
In fact, it was playing a sitdown Cruis'n USA while visiting a (disgustingly rich) friend of my uncle's that convinced me that I could, and should, have arcade games in the house. If only he had seen fit to give me that cab!

Did you go to the last Super Auction? I couldnt stick around to see how much the drivers went for so I was wondering what your basis was for that price range on that particular machine. They did have a Cruisin Exotica at the last auction.

I have yet to go to a SA but you can bet I will be at all of them in the future.
My "personal" price point estimates were determined by watching non BIN auctions (completed with bids) on ebay for the last 6+ months.
Driving arcades are a battle for me, I mean they are so friggin cool but at the same time cost me lots of sq ft of game space, lots of money & really clutter up my room..........but not having one sucks.......& having just one sucks......3 shouldn't suck at all. Thats dork mathematics, time dilation formulas have nothing on my arcade equations of insanity in 5 dimensions with 3 racers @ lightspeed.
I need a larger house & more money.
Perhaps congress will vote on a $15b "pinballwizard's" game room bail out?

3 racers? I couldn't imagine. I'd would only have it 2 or 4. Then I could have one of those sweet toppers that light up whichever side was in first...
