...what I want to know is why in hell ANYONE would find cramming the contents of an arcade machine through cracks in a plastic storage box to make a "tv game" to be a good idea.

Some people don't know about MAME, I suppose?

And... even if their bathtub game works for them, 499 seems a bit high to expect anyone to pay...
 
This Guantlet: Dark Legacy machine has given me a few dozen hours of Gauntlet Dark Legacy play! Works 99% of the time, but if the fan is off the videocard, the game appears to crash. Great arcade machine, runs flawlessly.


Funny how he states it works 99% of the time and then says it runs flawlessly.....what an idiot...
 
He says that it is a work in progress about 3 times.

I guess I just don't see it. Has the work begun???:rolleyes:

I'm still trying to figure out why there are so many buttons on those control panels too. The game only uses 3. I'm thinking the black button next to the start is probably a credits button but that 4th button on play area i just don't get.

Hey, at least the tub is lined with a static bag.. lol..

I think he bought those sticks somewhere pre-made. Look at them - the buttons all line up, they properly color match, they are all the same size, and they even have t-molding on them. They sure as hell weren't made by the guy who did the plastic tub.

Anyone know where those sticks (or the bases) might have come from? I might be willing to buy some of those, but I certainly am not going to pay for that whole mess.
 
With a day left he's lowered the asking price to $400. I'm betting it doesn't sell.

That's what happens when you cut corners and have to break out a hole in your plastic box for the fan instead of investing in a good pair of scissors.
 
Check out the deal someone got on this Gauntlet set!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180494548047&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Oh wait that was me.. Muahahahahaha Muahahahaha.. I picked it up today in fact and not only did it have what was listed in the ad but it had box kit that said Dark Legacy Upgrade Kit as well. Inside that box was another HD, Security Chip and Boot Chip.. I presume it's the Dark Legacy Upgrade kit as the box says.. I haven't had a good luck buy like this in ages. :) :) :)
 
The Dark Legacy in a plastic tub has been re-listed. It's now down to $345, but he's put shipping on it (previously he had free shipping on it).
