Ok.. so everything comes in TWOS around here or what? As soon as I decided to pull the trigger on a Galaga cocktail, a guy emails me about wanting to get rid of a Donkey Kong cocktail....
I have never owned one (cocktail) before but I guess it only makes sense to have a pair RIGHT?
Not a HUGE Kong fan and would prefer to have an UR but really thinkin bout this one, but GD is it UGLY, and that CP just looks plain old WEIRD!

Are cocktails more or less desirable in your opinions, and are the more or less valuable?
 
The only cocktail to have is a Crown and Coke.

The cocktails don't do games justice. Personally, I like the artwork of the uprights. It's what I grew up with.
 
I would love to buy a donkey kong cocktail and transport the guts to a cocktail built and painted in the style of the upright.

That is a great idea or ive seen some real nice oak/cherry or something type of kit as well...
 
You can't be serious, Sarge!

That's my HS drafting teacher far right in the pic.

That is flippin hilarious. Cocktails tend to take up more space once you factor in a couple of chairs. Some cocktails are pretty nice and have 19" monitors with people on each end. Others have 13"s and tend to be large for the size of the monitor. The other downside that someone else mentioned was the lack of artwork. That is definitely one of the draws for me on these games. There are a couple of cocktails I really like including Joust and the bad boy attached here. Some cocktails seem to be quite valuable, while others may not pull in as much as their big brother uprights.
