GAH! my constant search for this game is a never ending brick wall! Id be just fine with just the board even but damn!!

What other games are you guys searching for that don't seem to exist?
 
we have an Arabian Fight here in My local arcade. Mega Play. The owner of the arcade is John Peirce. try and contact him. I hear he has a large warehouse of stuff. this telephone number is to his computer business I imagine if you ask for him you can see if he has what your looking for. (574) 256-1138
 
Lol! Ive been going to mega play for almost 20 years, since back when it was putters. Ive know john and susan for years and years. Im out there just on the c&p side twice a month for monitor stuff or to pick up parts and such.

You know how john is, it'll be a cold day in hell before i could get him to sell me something hes had that long. And if i did, it would cost me aprox. 2.3 million dollars lol.

The flip side is, he keeps things like attack from mars on the floor so people get a chance to play it. Mp loses money every year, its only held up by John's love of arcades.

Hes the kind of Guy that will tell me with a straight face he wants 1500 for arabian fight and 2500 for k.i. , but also upgraded my card to v.i.p. on account of 20 years of loyal patronage.
 
I've got a few that I would consider grails but haven't bothered looking for them because they're worth far more than I can afford. But there are a few PCB sets I've been looking for FOREVER:

- Exidy's Fire One!

- Sidewinder ROM card for the Arcadia Supersystem boardset

- Angler Dangler (partially obtained! I now have the cassette and a DECO system to use it on, just need the find or make the security dongle!)

Judging by the VAPS owners listings, seems not too many hit here stateside. Did you try Yahoo Japan?

The boards I'm seeking and having a helluva time:

Some of the Sente titles: Off the Wall is the one I'm looking for big time!
Some of the Bally Six-Pack series: mainly SWAT
Namco's Dragon Saber

^^^^^ these are the major ones right now.
 
Ridiculous but it took me 3 years to find a decently priced MS. PAC-MAN.

I just hit year 12 in that search. I have owned 227 games and not a single Pac or Ms. Pac because I never found a deal on one.

If you don't mind restoring one I got a converted one I can sell ya :p
 
Well, being there is one local to you... and you could probably acquire it for mass sums of dough... I'd say it was more Toomuchdoughmium than Unobtanium...
 
Nah, I am pretty confident that one will eventually come my way now that I have a Tron Mini I am willing to trade for one.

TEN YEARS of looking for a Godzilla Wars Jr. before I successfully nabbed one, and even then I had to repair the audio. The great thing is, when you do find THAT elusive game, there's nothing like that feeling. :)
 
I know I certainly would never be able to score a $100 Ms. Pac that was hours away.

Even if someone listed one locally AND I responded to the posting within minutes and then left my house minutes later to pick it up the seller would still have a whole bunch of higher offers before I got there.
