Most games I have ever picked up on one run in my truck was 4. I had planned on buying 1 or 2 machines from a guy tonight. He wanted all 6 gone. Told him my truck would only hold 4, He said if he can make them fit I had to take them all.

I was after the space encounters, its partially working. I picked up another space encounters a few weeks ago, so I hope I have enough to get one of them going now.. Space invaders is working, nicer than the one I have. Rip off is missing back door but everything else is there, monitor works looks like a wire is disconnected on the PS, Atari Anti Aircraft works but the jets fly to fast?? Head on works, and Astro Blasters turns on monitor works, looks like no video signal..

How is it I go for one and come home with 6..

I loaded 8 games into a pickup that size and the Berzerk and Tron were more than half off the back of the open tailgate. Too bad back then (1997) all I had was a Polaroid camera and was more interested in getting home than snapping pics. Some jackleg ran up on my bumper the entire way over the old Mississippi River bridge outside Baton Rouge. I told my then-fiance (now wife) that "that guy needs to back off" and she said "is he too close?" I said "not legally, but if that ratchet strap breaks he's a dead man." My spare tire was strapped on the outside because there was no more room in the truck. Good times.:eek:

Cool load! Hopefully you had a clear sky .. I always load up with tarps, shrink wrap, etc just in case Murphy's Law strikes.

Out of curiousity, did you use ramps to get those in the bed standing upright? Or what's the easiest way without a lift gate?

Very nice haul Dan. All my type of games there (I own 3 of the 6 already).

I just had a chance to pick up a Space Encounters, possibly the same one, but I had to say no due to space. I must admited I'm tempted to rent a bigger storage so I can get more. So far I've held out but it has not been easy.

Yes clear skies no chance of rain, about 80 mile R/T. They had a ramp took 3 people to unload..

thought of you when we ynloaded the anti aircraft. Do you have that one?
 
Is that an F250? If so, I have the same hauler! Mine is a '91 F250 with a Tommy Lift. I have had 8 at once with the gate down.

Sadly, I cannot get it to pass smog here in Cali.... :(
 
Great score man! It's like a dog lover going to the pound, gotta take them all.

As for those guys and the Rescue pin on the tailgate, not sure I could come up with a worse way to transport that.
