Cart Before the Horse: KLOV Style

[Les Manley]

Do you do this? Buy a game you don't have room for because it's either a good deal or a game that you were really looking for? Even though you told yourself you wouldn't buy another game without selling one of your games first, so at least you had the room for the new one? This just happened to me. Again.

Bought: Rampage
Wanted to sell before I bought a Rampage: PigOut

I really only have room for one 3 player cabinet right now. Now I'll have to keep both (side by side) unless someone wants to buy my sweet PigOut machine before Monday. *sigh*

Yes, everytime I buy a game. I can't pass up a good deal, even if I have no interest in the game. I have been getting a little better at this though. I keep telling my wife I won't buy another until I sell one first too. I have been marginally good at best at holding true to that.

Me too and Hey thanks Jow. I think the kids and I will love it. You forgot to add Outrun and Double Dragon to that late 80's line up. Oh and Ghosts N Goblins and Heavy Barrel.

Double Dragon was at that same roller rink, but no GnG, OutRun, or Heavy Barrell. I don't remember playing OutRun until after I moved to the Sacramento area in 1991. Weird it took 5 years after the game came out.

My garage is stuffed because I couldn't say no to free cabs. Then I started passing off free cabs to buddies. Now they complain of having no room. I recently was told I could take one home from work if i wanted it, and have no room for it.

The main problem is that the free cabs are often missing stuff - usually the monitor. This cab at work requires a 27" VGA monitor, and needs a regular PC sound card. Plus, it's missing the dongle, and I'm not sure if we still have it. I guess an LCD could be thrown into it, but I don't need another project where I have to spend decent money to get it working, and then for a game I don't really care about owning.

I'm sure at some point on of my buddies will say they'll take it, where it will sit for a while before being passed on to someone else...

Having the money and the opportunity, Hell yes I would. The garage may leak but I am sure I could find a dry spot for the right game.
