!!!!THE ULTIMATE GAMING SYSTEM!!!!(Arcade,Laser Disc,&Pinball MACHINE) - $10000 (Orange County)

I bought the crystalcade four years ago for close to $30,000.I have kept it in MINT CONDITION since then.

The Crystalcade Upright Arcade System's powerful computer includes a conveniently lockable/removable 160GB hard drive and it's compatible with existing PC software and hardware.

21" high-resolution flat screen monitor, a premium 2.1 audio sound system, wireless keyboard and mouse and an Ethernet adapter for access to the Internet and e-mail.

Comes complete with already 600,000 arcade games (pacman,street fighter,mortal kombat)

And comes with Laser Disc games for those games such as, (Dragons Lair 1,2,3,4)

Its also a PINBALL machine,and has over 20,000 Real Pinball Games into it!!!

5.1 Dolby THX Surround Sound System(what the movies/movie theaters use!) for crystal clear audio that you simply won't find at an arcade.

Comes with incredible Jukebox software that plays well over 20,000 mp3s, your imported CDs, and even the radio!

Also the lights change colors(over 60 different colors) that you can either change to a strobe light OR make them go to the music

WILLING TO TRADE BUT ONLY FOR HIGH END GEAR SUCH AS!!!
--ACCESS VIRUS TI (T12)
--C|24
--DAVE SMITH INSTRUMENTS PK4 POLY EVOLVER
--OPEN LABS NEKO XXL
--ROLAND FANTOM G8

........huh?
 
Of course it's not worth $10k but that's kind of a cool cab.

I think I'll offer him the full $10,000 if he can:

*Show me all 600,000 arcade games he claims to have in it and
*All 20,000 pinball games it supposedly has (both on that 160GB drive), and
*An original bill of sale for $30k

Sound fair? :D
 
Yeah, along the same lines, I bought a Capcom Big Blue cab with Xmen COTA in it from a lady who said "it's in pretty good shape for being over 35 years old". How could I pass up a timetravelling cabinet???
 
You can buy his four yr. old one for 10,000 or you can buy a brand new one for 1000 less.

And a new one has a 24" screen! But only "over 430 games". It's those 599,570 other games that obviously make this such a good deal.

Wow. That's quite the web page! It reminds me of a geocities site from 1996.

"Play Games In HIGH-DEFINITION! Yes HIGH-DEFINITION!
The CrystalCade™ game is not only the most unique arcade game on the market it's in HIGH-DEF!
Forget the old fashion CRT picture tubes! This game includes 1 high-resolution flat-screen LCD monitor!"


All those Atari 2600 games sure will look awesome in 'high definition'!!!
 
The most comprehensive pinball database in the world is the "Internet Pinball Machine Database", ipdb.org. It lists 5,202 machines dating back to the 20's.


So in other words, I'm throwin' a real big bullshit flag on this one.
 
Why do I feel that I wouldn't be doing this upright justice, if I didn't play it on acid?

And he forgot to add the words "Ultra Rare" when talking about that advancded 2.1: 5.1 surround sound system. I bet the embedded audio on that is a bitch to figure out, also I'm sure it uses those new unheard of mpav's files for your music.
 
only 10 grand, how can they possibly afford to sell it for such a low price.
