If you have, what do you know about it and what do you think of it?

The game is called Timber.

It's like a sequel to the very successful "Tapper"; the bartender of Tapper becomes a lumberjack in Timber. IMHO it's not the greatest of games; it's not as much fun even as Tapper (which I'm not wild about, minority or no).

It is considered a classic-- perhaps even a grail-- within the context of cabinet artwork.

From what I'm seeing it's a good specimen. You're not in Texas by any chance, are you?

From a playability standpoint, Timber is one of my favorites. Could just be that I like the simple games, but it's fun chopping at the trees and watching them fall, even if the boss keeps getting mad at you. I don't think it's a game that people would know to ask about, but it's also not one of the ones that you get tired of 1 week after owning it.
 
Where's the arcade? All I got was a picture of two games loaded in a truck.
 
The one on the left is worthless.

You could be creative and do something else with it. I dunno...maybe a chair?

Wait, what? Isn't that what he wants you to do?
 
Whatever you do, don't yell out the name of the game while you're moving it. It'll fall.

He is a very demanding boss and I tend to be very slow at chopping down the trees because I get distracted by the bear. Nothing like wrapping up the daily grind by punching the time clock and getting heckled by the boss.
 
Yea, I pulled the pic off of photobucket, just a random photo to show what the game was. Pretty funny that it's someone's here...LOL!

I live in FL and was looking at one that is up north. Just wondering about the game as I have never heard of it.
 
Well, for what it's worth: If the one in the pic is both working and as clean as it seems I'd give up to $500 for it most any day of the pay cycle/fiscal season. Maybe even as high as $700 if all the current bills were paid, the wife seemed somewhere this side of insane, and we had at least $1000 for the next 4 days.
