Games in the wild - Loard's Ice Cream, San Leandro, CA

None of the games are really special, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of classics that weren't "60-1"nd, which is rare around these parts.

All are serviced by Thais R. Wilson of Wilson Music Co. based in San Leandro. He has his business card taped to all of the machines.

- Ms. Pac-Man
- Galaga
- SFII:HF (HS-1 dressed as SF1)
- Neo Geo MVS (Red Z-back)
- Dr. Dude

Please excuse the poor cell phone pictures.

Haha. Yeah, I was just messing. SF1 art is definitely better than SFII. Though, this one is missing the bezel.

I like the classic Capcom hand drawn art. Ex. Strider, GnG, Bionic Commando, Magic Sword, etc. Wish they would have done the same SFII and on.

Pictures fixed and resized. Sorry about that.

I also stopped by a pizza place tonight to pick up last minute dinner for the family. They had only two games. An X-Men vs. SF in a Z-back cab and a Gottlieb Strikes 'N Spares pin. I had to wait 15 minutes for my pizza, so I thought I'd play a couple of games of Strikes 'N Spares for a quarter each.

Scored 81 and 97. I am the sucks.

Haha. Yes I can!

Pictures mean no reading needed. Otehrwise you could have just described the damn thing. That would be like reading TV Guide after watching the TV episode.

Do they even make TV Guide anymore...am I that old?

They are pretty uncommon.. You usually see the vaccuum button one. If you really want one of those, there is one that occasionaly pops up on CL in the bay area. If I see it, I can send you the listing..

I sold one of those to a local guy. He did not care for the SF1 pcb, so I pulled it out..
