Goodbye Sundance

Thank God, John. I hope you have a safe trip down and a good time with the family at Disneyland.

Yep.
I think there were probably a total of about 3 of us who had the stamina to actually read through that entire thread even when it was going on.
I've worked on both my Armor Attack and Star Castle. I recognize the monitor board very well, along with the main PCB board and DATA power supply. This has other things going on, like an external ROM board, a very early intensity card...I won't bore anyone. But it is very neat to see the hardware evolution.
Per the game, I hope it one day ends up in the Smithsonian along with other coin ops. As rare as it, and others like it, are I'd call them national treasures. Air, Space, Cars, why not arcade video games????
Thanks you very much for the links, I wish there was an audio recording from the machine too. Maybe later, new owner(s)?

Ah, well I guess I'll have to go re-read the original thread, I didn't even remember Greg posting in the thread.

He posted that he wasn't chasing the game....
I went and put a little blurb in my original post in this thread explaining...in simple terms...what happened.
Are you sad to let it go after all that trouble?

It was never really any trouble. It was an adventure. I would have liked to have kept it, sure. That's why I bought it...

Last time I saw such a monumental deal made over something so small was in a movie. You might know it, it's called Lord of the Rings...
Still sickens me the way this all played out. This game brought out the worst in everyone. In the end, greed ruled the day. I almost think we would have been better off if it had never been found. Kind of like the one ring.

Goodbye, Meth-Dance, I've enjoyed reading of Your travels! Maybe someday the cursed sundance will fall into another's hands and we will hear more of it's terrible effects on the minds of men.

I'm pretty opposed to parting and destroying games but this could be the one I would actually feel good about lighting on fire. I love the games and the hobby but when it brings out as much negativity as this game did I may very well condone destroying it.

There was a bit of sarcasm there. I just mean that's why I made a deal to buy it at some ungodly price. Never really completed the deal obviously since it's heading Greg's way.

Well on that note, I never should have taken the game to begin with. I acknowledge that and so I feel no negativity toward the others who were trying to get ahold of it. I did for a while but I've let it go. And looking back on it, I wasn't justified to feel that way anyway. The game belonged to someone else and he got what he wanted out of it and sold it to who he wanted.
Although I do wonder where it would be right now if I had never stopped in that little @#!*% hole....

It would be in Full Throttle's housecade after being sanitized for meth residue.
He was second on the scene right? So if you had not acted, it would have gone further north unless someone else had stopped by Little Sweden first.p1899m

maybe, maybe not. Fullthrottle was also there with another collector. Not sure which of the two would have gotten it. But yeah one of these two would have gotten it had jehuie not grabbed it.
