While i'm certain they are not "grails" to most, they are to me. I'm pretty excited that I got dedicated versions of my two favorite classic games, Donkey Kong and Galaga, within two months of each other. The sellers, 7146aaron and mcandrewsoun respectively, couldn't have been better guys. Now i'm on the lookout for some other titles. With Pac-Man and Black Widow being towards the top of the list. If anyone wants to sell one please head over here:

Thanks for looking.

Nice machines!! Galaga is one of my mini-grails. My SMB was my first Grail. My next chase is a Warlords cocktail, and Ms. Pac & Galaga are my mini-grails :)
 
Galaga is probably my favorite classic arcade game... I don't have the arcade (yet) but I still hook it up and play it with my NES advantage...

and that DK looks amazing... I'm a huge Nintendo fan...

I think you've done well... I agree, they are both grails
 
Very nice!

The DK looks fantastic, and Galaga is on my short list of want's, congrats :)
 
Great games and cool wall art! And both games are in fantastic shape,especially the DK.Like a lot of people,Galaga is one of my most sought after games.Would love to get a DK,but I think I'd want a PC-10 or MB widebody if I had to choose a Ninty game.
 
That's awesome, definitely two great games.

Those were actually 2 of the games I really wanted when I started as well.

How is Mario supposed to get up to save her? You don't have a working ladder. I have those same wall graphics:

haha, my girlfriend bought it for me and put it up as a surprise. I guess she wasn't really looking at a display of the board. I didn't really want to say: "Dear, you f*cked that up something awful." haha
 
DK is what got me into this whole mess. It's my favorite and that's why I bought it, then another and another and another....... Over the last year I've had the chance to play many games and my so called "grails" have changed for sure. Galaga is a sweet game as well, in the NW they seem to be like gold, hard to find and expensive when you do. Nice pickups. - Barry

i know what you mean about the "another and another". I got the dk to replace a junior I had with a multi-board so I could go after the record. 6 weeks later, found the galaga. It was a week ago that I picked it up. Now i'm negotiating with someone on getting a Pac-Man, haha.

You have officially fallen into what I like to call.........the end........!
 
wall graphics

Are the DK wall graphics a one time application or can they be taken down and put back up like a Fathead?
 
Congrats on acquiring your two grails. They look great together.

I know the feeling. My Galaga is what started the madness for me.

Be honest though... The NES version of Galaga is quite a bit easier than the arcade version. My high score on it was around 196k, while I haven't even cracked 80k on the arcade version.

Anyway, good scores OP!
