Whoa! Look at what I found in the "wild"!!!!

[Jedidentist]

Well, these aren't exactly in the "wild", but they're out in a public location. So, the scoop is that I was dropping off some paperwork to get my son enrolled in preschool at a local community center. I walked by an open door, and saw what looked like a vintage cabinet. I stopped, backed up, and looked in and saw more. I walked in, turned around, and HOLY CRAP!!!!







So from what I could see, there was:
NFL Blitz
NBA Jam
Spy Hunter
Carnival
Karate Champ
After Burner
Tiger Heli
Galaxian
Challenger
Millipede
Rush'n Attack
Pole Position 1 and 2
Jungle Hunt
Tumblepop
Missle Command
Out Run
Pac Man
Clutch Hitter
Off Road

Now I don't know what the scoop is on these. The room lights were off and all the games were off. Obviously, from the setup and the fact that Jungle Hunt and PP2 were jammed in the corner, I doubt they all work, or get used much. However, it is a community center and the room obviously gets used. I'm probably heading back over that way this afternoon to take my son to the playground, so I'm going to see what the story is behind these and/or they're availability! This is as close to a warehouse find that I'm going to get!

I'm not a big fan of 720, but that is horrific. Save those classics!

that's pretty impressive. Some of the nicest condition games I ever found were actually from a community center.

That NBA Jam isn't in a 720 cab...I'm not sure what it is. From the 1 minute I was in the room, most looked to just be worn and faded with typical CPO wear, but not abused. The T-molding was decent and I didn't see much water damage. I was sort of looking for a local Pac cab to fully restore and multi because I don't have much more room.

EDIT: Never mind...I can't believe I didn't recognize the Clutch Hitter conversion. Maybe I should try to swap the monitor for my burned in one.

Dang thats nice, maybe you can work out a trade with them, they give you some games and you fix the ones they really wanna keep

[JeffC]

Wow Derek!

What a crazy cool find. If you go back, PLEASE get me a pic of that 720 CH conversion for our 720 Hellcade.

And find out who owns those games and make an offer on that Pacman. That's your next project!!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

[Jedidentist]

Dang straight...I want to do a conversion like yours! I might be able to squeeze 1 more game out of my wife...if the price is right.

[kretter]

That's a very cool find. I love running into these types of setups. It's like a time warp.


Thanks for sharing the pics!
