My collection is to the point where I'm trying to narrow down my the "must have" list to one last purchase or two, literally. Frontrunners have been Centipede, Dig Dug, Paperboy, and Tron.
There's a new local retail shop that also sells games, and he had a pretty nice Centipede for $600, which was reasonable. It has a newer Hanatrex polo monitor and a new trackball, but is missing the overlay (the CP is just painted black). He also needed help with repairs, so I agreed to swap a monitor into a broken Mortal Kombat to have the option of the Centipede for $400.
Fortunately the monitor swap went fine. Sunday, I finally bit the bullet and bought this Centipede. I haven't picked it up yet. Getting it home and then getting it into the gameroom will probably be two separate adventures. Might be able to go get it this weekend. I look forward to getting it of course, but getting games into my gameroom is such a pain.
Only plans for this one is some minor cleaning and eventually a new CP overlay, which should be pretty easy since the old one is already removed.
Although I'm really happy to finally have this one (it has always been on my must-have list), I'm just not as excited as I used to get when I bought games. Has this hobby finally run its course??
