Never really felt the need to post a scored thread...

Until now that is.

Saw a CL ad on a few games for sale so I sent an e-mail. Got a reply on a Cruis'n and since the place that was selling it was on the eay home I decided to drop by. I get there and view the Cruis'n and it's a huge environmental version which, I have no space for. The guy tells me they have a larger storage area and leads me to a set of double doors at the end of the room. He opens them up to reveal a small warehouse with about 20 games in it. I immediately saw one that I had been looking for but was usually out of my price range. So I ask the guy about it and a couple of others and he gives me an unbelievable low price so I tell the guy I'll take them.

The owner then emerges from the other end of the warehouse and the guy I was talking with goes over and they start talking. It's getting late and I still had to pick up my kids from daycare so I walk over to the guy to see if we have a deal or not. The owner had apparently already made a deal with the manager on most of the games I was interested in. He then tells me the guy doesn't have the space so if he doesn't commit to pay for them and remove them then I can have them, he said he would call me later and let me know.

I wasn't expecting the call but it came and they were mine to pick up or refuse. Needless to say I picked them up. :D

Without further ado here is a pic. The game I was looking for is in the pic below. 50 points to whoever can guess which game I've been wanting. I'll post a few pics in a bit after I come back from the barber. The past few weeks have been very busy and I really need a haircut.

I'll take a guess on the snowboard game. Super something???

Did the Neo have a mobo in it? It looks empty.

And a very nice looking MK 2. What are the others?

LOL. Surf Planet.

Judging by control panel slants and button layouts. Looks like KI2, MK3, and a Virtua Fighter all along the side there.

I wouldn't mind owning any of those. Sweet!

That surf planet was kind of a gimme. I didn't want it but for the price they were asking I figured it would be a good faith gesture to take it. The Neo-Geo in the picture is a Dynamo Z-Back conversion. It had a mobo in it and was only missing the monitor. I also picked up a 4 slot without a monitor but everything else including the card reader was present. The 4 slot mobo was also loaded with carts. ;)

Great eye Gozer, you almost guessed those games correctly. It's a dedicated KI2, Dedicated MK4, and SNKvs Capcom SVC Chaos in a Virtua Fighter 2 cab. The other cabs I picked up were the Dedicated MK2, Surf Planet, Dedicated Neo-Geo 4 slot and Neo-Geo 2 slot in the Dynamo Z-back cab.

The game I've been wanting is the dedicated Killer Instinct 2. Never thought I would find one I could afford then this one came along.

Oh and those things sticking out of the sides are cup holders and the white boxes are credit switches or some crap.

Here are some more pics.

The MK2 looks great! Wouldn't mind finding one of those.I'm glad someone from the Lone Star state finally scored a deal.About freakin' time! Need more of these around here!!!
 
are any even complete? they all look like empty cabs
They are all complete other than three missing monitors. I've bought quite a few games in different stages of disrepair. I don't pay for anything until I've made a checklist of what I can pull off of it, or what I'll need to do to it to get it running.

There's tons of deals to be had gutsman. I've bought games just about every weekend for the past 3-4 weeks.

I love em' both. I have a dedicated MK4 and I am going to pick up my dedicated KI2 in the next month or two. Now I know what they will look like next to each other.
I think I'm going to make a rown of Midway cabs that will be the MK, MK2, MK4 and Killer Instinct 2. I'll call it Death Row or something since they all have fatalities/finishing moves.

How could someone not like KIs ?
