Has anyone else ever played this gem?
I fell in love with it on MAME, and even using a shaky hand on a mouse, I have come within a couple hundred points of the highest MARP score (2286 vs 2497). I'm confident that with a little more practice, I will be able to consistently break 2500 on my computer, but I want to set the Twin Galaxies world record for real, on an actual machine. However, I have never owned an arcade cabinet in my life, and I am more than a little worried that if I purchase one it will sit and gather dust after I claim the title. So I am wondering if it would be better for me to find one somewhere that the owner will let me film. But then again, I have heard that Avalanche is pretty rare to find in the wild, but not that expensive overall to just buy one and have it shipped. So I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a location of an Avalanche within a 200 mile radius of Akron, OH?
2. If not, then does anyone know how much a working machine would cost, including shipping?

Feel free to discuss anything else related to this game in this topic too!
