This one had been popping up locally on cl and ebay for a few months, with the price lower each time. Brian (wickedbass) finally told me to get off my ass and go buy it. Thanks, Brian. From the pictures, it looked like it might have been a turd, but in the flesh it turned out to be a pretty nice find. Gameplay fine, no sound or video glitches so far, and the monitor (a wg7000 series) is bright and clear. The side and front art are in pretty good shape. I'll have to replace the back door, it looks like someone tried to kick it in.

The only hitch was getting it out the little door I'm posing next to! Klov'er sdoyle and my brother were kind enough to help me load it - thanks Scott!

Inside of the game is really clean, it looked like it had been serviced recently. Lots of new connectors, new big blue on the ps, monitor looked capped. Asked the seller who did the work, and his "tech person" is a fairly well-known arcade/pin repair technician here in our area. The joystick definitely need some new parts, it's pretty sloppy, and unfortunately no bezel. Anyone got one?

All in all, it turned out really well. I've always wanted a Food Fight, but they seem to be uncommon, in New England at least, and I never wanted to drop the 600-900 that they always seem to command around these parts. Me happy!

Congrats! Food Fight is in my top 3 of most wanted games at this time.

Hopefully someone will start reproducing parts (bezel, side art, etc.) as it appears
these can be difficult to find.

That's a crazy little door there! Did that go to the basement, or what?

Yeah, here's a shot from the inside. Good thing it wasn't an APB or something like that. The guy had furniture, a juke, big screen tv, pin, and pool table - and he said they all came through that door!
