I picked up three games today out of a warehouse! cobb webs, dirt and all. There was a whole bunch of old oddball stuff but I grabbed a Ripoff, Star Castle and Zoo Keeper. The Zoo keeper is in a Qix cab and is missing the monitor. The two vectors are dedicated and still have all the manuals and swag inside. The strangest thing about this haul is that both old vectors fired right up and played but the raster game was lifeless:(.

Congratulations! Nice vector score for sure... Rasters are too hard to maintain and are harder to work on... You don't want any rasters anyway. ;)
 
Nice find.

Assuming the pics are of the machines where you got them so what a nice feather hair doo/mullet in the picture on the wall behind the Rip Off. If any relation, no offense, just haven't seen that doo in about 20+ years. I think it's coming back...not :)
 
There was also a king and ballons, starship one, 2 or 3 targs, popeye, 8+ space invaders, qbert, asteroids and a bunch more I cant remember.
 
Nice haul!!! I have some fond memories of both Star Castle and Rip Off from back in the day.

Awesome grab... and they worked to boot!!! :beerchug:
 
Im going back next monday to look around some more. There was alot of stuff I have never heard of there. I saw a decent gorf and a game called mousetrap and a few sea wolf type games. These will all be eventually parted out by the party thats clearing the warehouse.

Jason... I'm with Jeff... just let us know when you need a hand :)
I'm pretty jealous actually... I have 2 rip-offs... neither one works!
