Just wondering if anyone out there has just said "fuck it" when it comes to a game search. Or a game board,marquee,parts,whatever....
I am seriously thinking about doing just this when it comes to my Mega Man arcade stuff.Yeah,these boards are rare,but God damn! Really?! No one has these for sale on the entire damn planet?!
I have looked for YEARS for some of this stuff with no progress at all....NONE! All I have ever come up with are dead ends.
Hell,I've seen a Major Havoc,I Robot,Liberator,Quantum,and Reactor all come up for sale....very rare games which predate this board I'm looking for anywhere from 12 to 15 years.
Despite this,I have NEVER seen a Mega Man 2 board come up for sale.....NEVER. Really? Is someone hoarding them all? Did they all get destroyed in a tragic fire? Were they used as skeet discs by bored Capcom employees?
My searches either end up as it's long sold out or some collector has it,so of course it will never be available for sale unless I give them 35 billion dollars,and then they MIGHT part with it.
I would more than love to find this stuff that I'm looking for but as it stands now it seems I have better odds of doing the following than finding these damn boards:
Filling out a perfect NCAA March Madness bracket 5 years in a row
Winning the lotto 47 consective times
Making 32 consecutive half court shots
Discovering the Loch Ness monster and bigfoot within a hour of each other
Breaking into and declassifying area 51 with nothing more than a paper clip and a disposable camera.
Finding the holy grail,the ark,and the bones of Jesus Christ all in the same day.
And yeah,while I tried to throw some humor into this rant,I still am very frustrated in the fact that my efforts to find these boards has turned up nothing.
I know a large part of the fun of collecting is the hunt,but if your extensive hunting has yielded no results and the prospects of any future success is basically nil.....there is no fun,only frustration and when it gets to that level....what is the point?
