Craigslist "Score" (Also- new member intro!)
Hey, all. I'm fairly new here, and the arcade scene in general. My interest with arcade machines started many months ago; I'd always been a video game guy, and when searching "Atari" on CL, I saw and ad for a Kangaroo. I thought "Hey, I could own arcade games...at home!" Fast-forward to the beginning of summer, 2010. I got my first cabinet, a Neo-Geo MVS 4-25! She was loaded with Bust-a-Move, Metal Slug X, and Strikers 1945. I decided I like these games, so I decided to dedicate some unused space in my house to be my "arcade". One problem- I hadn't played/didn't have access to many of the "Classics". I knew what games were good, But for me, being born in the mid 90's (I'm 15), never had the chance to enjoy the classic games, In their true form (Sure, I had the Namco collections for Xbox, and Joust for NES, But these just aren't the same-right?). Well my time came when I visited Disneyquest, in downtown Disney, (Great place-I'll add pics/info if anyone wants) They had almost EVERYTHING (sans some more obscure titles). And better yet, everything was free! It's great to be able to see if you like a game, with out having to spend $.
So here I am, the night before I go to get my second cab, a craigslist find, a Burgertime. I enjoyed burger time very much at Disney, and was excited when I saw it pop up on CL. I was even more excited when I saw that it was in fairly nice shape, with a fairly nice price ($400). I called the guy and he said he "needed" to get 350, I asked if he could go lower, so now I'm paying 325 for the cab, and 25 for delivery (lol). Well, I'm pretty excited my Neo won't be lonely, anymore! I'll add some more pics the guy sent to me, soon.
That's it for now!
