I hate the word "grail", but this game has been #1 on my want list for a long while. I still cant believe I finally have one now. Check it out:

Big thanks to KLOVer Skater for working out a deal with me on this bad boy. You are the man, brotha. This cab is super clean on the inside, and gorgeous on the outside. I wish I could tell you how many hours I spent playing MM on the NES growing up. Its one of the greatest games ever, IMO. Coolest part? The coin slots have Scandia Token Inserts. Makes me think I could have played this very cab BITD when I used to go there growing up. Awesome to think, for sure.

Sweet!
 
Congrats! That is a pretty nice lineup there. Most guys would love to have all four of those. I know I would. I played the hell out of all 4 back in the day....
 
Jow, for you, I am as happy as a 3 peckered Billy Goat with opposable thumbs. MM is a pretty sweet game. Too bad mine is sold:

Fucking awesome, Joe. That Atari row along with PO and SPO - very nice.

I suspect sometime in my future I'll have a very similar setup.

Phet - I'll get on the horn with NAVL early in the next week. Got real busy this week.

That looks killer. Congrats on the completing your grail quest. What's next on the list?

One of these days I want to pick up an APB, and Toobin to complete the Sys II collection. Other than that, a Taxi pin.

They are all really, really fun games. Im sure you cant wait to get your MM. That cab is a thing of beauty.
 
nice marble madness, jow! good to see someone get a grail. that'd be real cool if it was really the one you played bitd. didn't you mention that as well with another one of your games before, too?
 
There are grails and there are personal grails and imho the personal grails are the ones that matter the most. Congrats.

Well said. This one is a personal one, for sure.

Acejedi picked up the Paperboy that was at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. I think thats what you might be thinking of. I for sure played that one :)

Funny, I'm getting my "grail" this monday, and the same game is in that row you have... ;)

Nice. Which one is it? :cool:
 
Sweet, you've got a great Atari line up! I'm with Gregatron, I like MM but completely suck at it, lol. Did you have to sacrifice Robo? Even if you did, a personal grail is worth it. Congrats!
