Well, it looks like I'm even less of a vid collector now.

I just pulled the trigger on a deal with a bud of mine, trading my dedicated MKII, Space Invaders, Dig Dug and NEO-GEO 4-slot (with Samurai Shodown I&II, NEO Turf Masters, Bust-a-Move and Metal Slug 3) for his very nice Pinball Magic (fully working with new rubbers and plastics).

I'll have better pics after I get it, but I've seen and played this machine in-person, and it's really really nice.

After this trade goes down, that'll leave me with 5 pins...

-Frankenstein
-Freddy
-Simpsons
-Jurassic Park
-Pinball Magic

...and 5 vids...

-Tron
-Donkey Kong
-Pac-Man
-OutRun
-Wizard of Wor

And ya know, it's also gonna be nice to have a little more breathing room in the arcade. I can put my little bistro table and chairs back in there, and it'll also leave me room to add a much-wanted Super Off Road sometime in the future. ;)

Very cool man!! I dont think I have ever played a Pinball Magic. You have a great arcade going there, though I disagree with the Bistro setup. Just leave that out and put in another Pin :)
 
Thanks!

PM is pretty darn neat. Good gameplay with some pretty nifty toys. (I just hope those toys hold up well.)

As for the bistro set..we'll just have to see how I feel once the 4 vids have left the building. ;) (I thought it might be cool to sit my little diner-style jukebox on the table instead of having it on a shelf.)
 
Congrats on the new machine and actually pulling off a mass trade. I tried the mass trade with REALLY nice games and it failed miserably.
 
Thanks!

...only 5 more till double digits :p

I had to do a whole lot of soul-searching just to let go of the games that I'm cutting loose for this trade. I don't know if could let go of my remaining 5 cabs -- especially my "grail" (Tron). But hell, who knows...there are still some pins that would be impossible to turn down if they became a possibility. ;)
 
I'd sell tron in a heartbeat for a good pinball machine or 2. The cab looks cool, but the game is horrible IMO. I'd rather get lots of playtime out of my machines then just have them look good. Know what I mean?
 
You made an EXCELLENT trade! Pinball Magic is such a sweet game. Some of the best toys on any pinball out there.

Thanks! I'm excited to be adding this pin to the lineup.

And yeah, those toys are great. The magic wand and "levitating" ball are just too cool.
