Yep, that's right!
Everyone has that game that constantly eludes them.
Mine happened to be Tron. I've been on the hunt for it for just about two years.
Thursday, after firing off some emails to a few "connections" I decided to broaden my search range. I checked the Las Vegas Craigslist and bam! I caught it a few hours after it was posted, called the dude and pleaded with him to hold it until Saturday which he actually agreed to! I woke up, this morning (Saturday) threw the kid in the car and headed for Vegas. (300 miles one way) the whole time I was imagining showing up only for the seller to explain how some dude showed up flashed $100 bucks more than our agreed price. Thankfully that didn't happen, and everything went smoothly. I don't have any pics yet but will post as soon as I have some. It's not in the best of shape but it's solid, no major damage.
It will of coarse be getting the full treatment. All new paint and artwork from Phoenixarcade, etc... Sorry for the long post, I'm just stoked that my quest is over. Now I have to look forward to the trip home... Woo Hoo!!!!

Congratz Greg. I've had one here to restore for almost 2 years and I have never even touched it. Seems daunting at this time in my life.

need to happily adjust sig now!
 
Congrats on finding your Tron

But I just gotta know what kind of car you drive that can hold a Tron game....I am guessing you did not buy a Tron cocktail.

Woo hoo! Congrats, Greg! Can't wait to see the pics... no, wait - I mean I can't wait to see the before/after pics when you're done working your magic on it. With your skills and the PA kit, I'm sure your Tron will be stunning. Very cool!
 
Congrats Greg! I knew it was Tron when I read your post title. I know you're going to make it look pristine. I can't wait to see pics! :)
 
Thanks dudes!
I haven't got a chance to load up any pics.
(using my iPhone) but I will as soon as I can. I will be keeping track of everything
I do on this one. I may post it in a restore thread.
