If you live in Orange County, CA - you might've been waiting for this...

The Reagan Years arcade in Fullerton closed at least 2 years ago...

...and they just announced on CL that they're about to sell their machines.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/1754836699.html

Just about every machine they had was an `84 or earlier classic. Save those games!

Group buy?

Let me know!!!

Group buy?

I'd be up for it in a flash, but I have zero room for anything new at this point.

Did you go when the arcade was open? Here's what they had years ago:

720 Area 51 Asteroids Asteroids Deluxe Berzerk Burgertime Carnevil-needs coindoor, coinbox, and coinbox door Centipede Centipede Crazy Taxi-Sitdown Cabinet (V.Hold and H. Hold monitor issues) Daytona USA 2- 2-player sitdown version Defender Elevator Action Frogger Frontline Galaga Galaga (Non-working) Gaplus Gauntlet Gauntlet Dark Legacy (Slow cut-scenes) Gorf (needs joystick insert) Harley Davidson-25 inch monitor Heavy Barrel House of the Dead II (not booting) Hydro Thunder Karate Champ Kung Fu Master Missile Command (won't boot/blue screen, test mode only beeps) Ms. PacMan Ms. Pacman/Galaga Offroad Thunder (won't boot, likely missing internal parts) Paperboy Pole Position-Cockpit version (won't boot/white screen) Rampage Scramble Sega Touring Car Championship Silent Scope StarWars Super Pacman Tapper Tempest Track & Field Tron (needs blacklite)

And I remember Robotron as well...

Who knows what they've sold off over time, but I'm sure they still have a few great arcades left for KLOVers.

That was such a luxury to be able to go there when it was open; killed me when they shut it down. Argh!

Dibs on the Asteroids Deluxe (if it's still there)

Monaco AP-

Moon Patrol

Berzerio

MS. PacMan

Qbert

Space Invaders

Punch Out- Works OK

GORF

2 x Asteroids

Defender

Claspper

Dia Dua

Tempest

Last year these were all in working order plus I have about 6 more games in storage I have to go pick up. Air Hockey table, RAMPAGE and a GALAGA/MS Pac Combo.
All these machines could use just a little TLC and maybe a few minor repairs to be perfect.. All games will range from $100 to $500 depending on game. The more you buy the more I can work with you on pricing. Any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks Again

I'd like the dig dug (dia dua??) and q*bert.

Who else is DEFINITELY in for any of these games? Maybe we can give the guy a group offer.

I would be in if he has an Asteroids Deluxe... he lists "2x Asteroids", I wonder if they might actually be AD's? The Bosconian would be nice too...

 

[gibbous]

I sent an e-mail expressing interest in a bulk buy.

I talked to the seller yesterday. He got lots of calls. Most, if not all, of these games are non-working, and they are priced around average, not giveaways.

There used to be a retro arcade in this place, but they closed it because it made no money. He says they got the games from the sell off of the Reagan Years games.

That's enough for me to be not interested, if anyone picks anything up please post the condition and price if you would be so inclined

 

[gprotein]

They are all in bad shapes and most are non-working....

Reagan Years Games

I picked up a robotron without sound, a defender partially working and a tempest out of there awhile ago. Most of the games were extremely hacked and non working.
