Well,

Just a couple of weeks ago I made the decision to narrow my collection down to games I only want to collect. I was left with 4 machines Asteroids, Track & Field, Centipede, and Pac-Man. I thought all was good, however every time my phone notified me of another arcade game on craigslist for a great price I could not resist... Even tonight I picked up a working Zaxxon (Cabinet needs a little help) for $100.00....

And now my garage looks like (Pic below...)


I am not sure if I can be helped... Not sure I want to be helped....

Now I need to go play some more Zaxxon...

Chris

I have thrown in a some pics of the new Zaxxon I acquired as well..

...and you probably got all these games so cheap, that the rest of our brains would melt! :D

That's definitely more full than when I was out there at the end of July!

If you ever, ever, ever come across a Space Wars... :hail: :drive:

Aww settle down sparky. Your newb blood still floweth strong. You'll eventually get to the point when you figure out that some "good deals" aren't in the long run.
Or when you try selling a game and it just won't sell. Or when you realize that these games aren't very fun and you need to sell them thus referring back to section "Can't sell game".

You'll figure it out - we've all been there.
 
Isn't guts doing some kind of CL thing for mclemore?

Welcome, Chris, to the sickness. You may find yourself making that "only games I want to keep" decision a few more times before space issues actually force you to stick to it. ;)
 
I remember a few years ago when I was down to six games. Then I blinked and I was back up to 20. It is definitely a sickness. I haven't bought a game this entire year and I'm waiting to see how long I can hold out. I almost bought a Millipede, but I found a monitor that will fix mine, so I lucked out.
