I'm talking mainly about those games that work just fine but need cosmetic and body work. New paint, some wood work, new artwork, etc.
I stripped down my Mario Bros. WB and it's been sitting in my garage for almost a year unplayed because I thought I would get to filling, sanding, repainting it. But stuff just keeps coming up and being a new dad means I have absolutely no time to spend in the garage. My SFII works fine as well, but needs the same type of cab work. All I've done so far is restored both control panels.
Do any of you guys have this problem? Do you end up just saying "To heck with it! I'm putting it back together and playing it!"? To be honest, I'm considering doing just that until my girl is a bit older and I can actually get more than a half hour of free time to myself. I'd much rather have a half hour at a time playing these games than looking at them shelled out in the garage.
What do you think? Be patient and get it done? Or forget restoring them and play the games as I'm supposed to play them?
