Long story long, I've pretty much been out of the hobby this past year due to personal reasons. I ended up selling off all my games (a whopping 4-5 of them) except DK. We sold our place and moved most stuff into storage. I hadn't played a game in over 3 months until going to CAX a couple of weeks ago. With a new home purchase hopefully closing soon and having a blast at CAX, I got the itch again.
Well, last week, I saw a listing for a Mappy. The price wasn't ridiculous and the game looked really clean in the tiny CL pictures. It just happened to be down the street from Prairiedillo. He already owns a pretty nice dedicated Mappy, but he went to check out the game since it was so close. He messaged me right away, "You won't believe the counter. HUO as I suspected (343 plays), I can cover you and hold it if you're sure you want it." Since I'm not an idiot, I said, "Yes! I'll take it!"
I never thought I'd own a HUO game as they usually seem to go for top dollar. I've always loved the unique look and art of Mappy. I've been playing it on Namco Collection lately to prepare myself and I forgot how challenging and addicting it is. I've only broke 50K so far though. I have some learning to do.
So a huge thank you to Prairiedillo for helping me snatch this game up, for being content enough to keep his nice Mappy, and for being generous enough to pass this deal to me. A true brother in this great hobby.
I know, POIDH, so here are some pictures. She's a beauty other than natural wear to the CPO and some marquee fading which is common.
