Yea and it worked too LOL. It was at a time where I had no idea of how to work on arcades and I had already had a few non working games junking up my parents basement, and they said they didn't want no more junk sitting around. Lol
 
Q*Bert

I have one in better condition with the Multi-Kit I almost considered selling for a grand last weekend. This guy's Q*Bert must be diamond studded or something!
 
Why is this game so popular anyways to collect. Nothing against the people who like the game, but game is OK at best. It def looks cool like the PacMans, but what is the draw? I have one QBert MAMEd, and have it in the back burner to restore ATM.

It has all the elements a classic game should have. Easy to learn but with good depth and very challenging as you progress. You have to figure out the right things to do, and then somehow do them with baddies chasing you.
 
I hit this guy up on Craigslist, he has it up for $800 there, and he is totally unrealistic as far as what he thinks this machine is worth and was insulted at my offer of $500. I just gave up, some people are just hard headed, even when they're wrong.
 
If you look at his other auctions, he also has a Joust for $2000, a Tron for $2200, and a Galaga cocktail for $3800 :eek:

It's super fun, gets really challenging, it has great characters, the animation/physics "feel" really nice...Q*Bert really feels like he's got some mass as he jumps around....and it's pretty much got the coolest sound FX of all time.
