Just wanted to post a quick note to document my excitement about the newest addition to my arcade.

I purchased Donkey Kong off of 30FathomDave and she arrived yesterday!

I was so busy playing last night that I didn't have time to get online and post this, so I am doing so today.

(I took a day of vacation today to stay home and play!)

First of all, what a great deal! 30FathomDave is a great seller and the whole thing went off without a hitch. I sent him payment on one day, and the game was on a truck on its way the very next day for the long journey cross country!

It was my first time having a game shipped by NAVL (or STI to be more specific). They did pretty good. The game was shrinkwrapped and blanketed well. The cornerboards were nice and did their job well.

The game itself is beautiful and plays perfectly, exactly as Dave described it. It is now the best looking monitor in MY collection.

He even included the additional bonus of one of those AWESOME acrylic keychains with the Donkey Kong flyer art (front and back). I wasn't expecting that. I had no idea that those keychains were that big and beautiful. So, needless to say, I'll be ordering keychains for the rest of my games now.

Donkey Kong was on my list as one of my MUST HAVES for my home arcade, and I'm excited that I got the one out of Zombies Ate My Arcade.

I forgot how hard DK was. It's going to take me quite a while to even make it on the high score list with those scores that are on there.

Anyway, KUDOS to 30FathomDave for a great deal on a beautiful Donkey Kong!!!

I will take excellent care of her and enjoy playing her often!

In fact, I think I'll go play some more right now!

I don't know how I missed this thread. Thanks for the kind words, sir! I'm glad DK got to you safe and sound. I had a blast with it and it sounds like you will too.
 
Congrats on your pickup and I agree, nice collection!! Nothing like playing DK on a dedicated machine to me, it brings back SO many memories!

I guess I was a little surprised to see a Donkey Kong shipped because they are pretty plentiful around here, not neceissarily easy to find, but they pop up often. But if you want something bad enough and it's cheap enough to ship it so you can get a grail, it's totally worth it... been there, done that! :)
