My first warehouse raid!!! I never thought it would happen!

Never in my whole arcade collecting career would I believe that I would find a warehouse to raid. Well today, I did. I have pics and a list of all the games in the warehouse, but I dont want to post it publicly without the owners consent, but let me know if you want me to check the list for any games. There isnt too much in the way of classics, most games fall around mid 1985-to newer stuff like Pump it Up and PGA Tour.

But anyway, here is what I walked away with :)

And I gotta say.... after buying the game and playing it, I am not a Make Trax fan :(
 
Always take a picture of the warehouse so the rest of us can dream about what we would've loaded up but didn't because we NEVER FIND A DAMN WAREHOUSE TO RAID. *pant pant*.

Nice work on the haul. 3 at a time means your garage is running out of space real soon.

It plays a lot better with a speedup kit.
 
Vapor Trail looks like it used to be a Pengo. Not a bad vertical shooter. They all look pretty nice. I wish I had a warehouse raid.
 
Wish I could get a good warehouse raid going. Then again, that does happen every time I enter my gameroom/warehouse. Lost track of what I even own. Used to visit Lloyd with coin-op warehouse and find some of the strangest and coolest equipment. Heck I could of had a Computer Space for $100. No clue if it worked but I should of taken it. He used to have rows and rows of classics. 20-30 Space Invaders, 40 or so Pole Positions. He would let you piece together the best of several and get the best you could. Only problem was that at the time I didn't personally own anything to haul games so I would only end up with boards to fix what I had at any given time.

If you spot a Computer Space in the warehouse, let me know.

You guys need to learn to buy 5 x 9 trailers so you can fit 6 in at a time. Makes the amount of back and forth so much less. I found out the hard way after I bought too much 2.5 hours from home that a 4x8 trailer won't fit 2 games next to each other. Ended up with driving game seats wedged in cabinets sideways.
 
there is a multi game hack to the make trax pcb. Don't remember who did it or much about it. But you might want to look into it. Otherwise 60 in 1 it. cruh roller is on the 60 in 1, so its not a bad fit..

make traxx and motorace usa should be tried before buying.. I would say mystic marathon and joust 2 also fall into that category...

Nice dedicated black tiger! Guy had some clean games..

+1 to what DanoND said! Sigh. Although a warehouse raid would *not* be a good idea for me... I still want the opportunity!

I like Make Trax, myself. Maybe I just haven't played it enough?
 
Those all look like they are in great shape! I've never seen a Black Tiger machine like that before. Is it dedicated?

Ahhh the good old hagerstown days. That warehouse was incredible. I bought 8 machines in one week from him and those were my first ones I ever purchased.Saddens me that he is mainly into jukes now.
 
Didn't he have dozens of kiddie rides stored outside beside the building, too? He had everything in that place. I never got to go by there, though.
