I picked up these little gems today. Luckily the day before I spent hours digging out 10 inches of snow out of my driveway from this midwest blizzard we had, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pick them up. Both have decent side-art and both only needed minor repairs. I've been wanting a Williams trifecta for awhile now, Sinistar is the bomb {no pun intended}.

Sinistar is one of the greatest games ever made. Nice pick ups!
 
Beware! I live! I love the speech in Sinistar. Great game, even though it is freakishly hard. Too bad the T2 isn't the pin, I really like that one.
 
If I had the money, they would've been mine. I saw them moments after they were posted. Glad they went to someone I know and will love them. They were a steal!
 
nice lil haul and that Sinistar looks great, hopefully one day I'll find one
 
nice pickups! i have to agree, williams games are definitely some of the most difficult games to play hard wise, but i keep going back to them. my jrok multi williams gets the most play these days out of anything in my gameroom. played all the others last night just cause they haven't been feeling any love lately.
 
Nice pickup for sure. You lovin' the Hemi? Were going truck shopping today, looking at at least one with a Hemi.

Keith, I necessarily wasn't looking for the Hemi model but after research it got 100 more horsepower than their standard V8 model. The cost in gas, only loses 1MPG for that extra 100 horsepower. If you are going to be hauling anything and in the market for a new truck or SUV, I would definitely recommend it. Hauling that trailer and 2 large games it cut through that snow like I was taking a Sunday summer stroll.

I would have never been able to do that with my previous game/family hauler, the 1 game at a time non-4WD van.

Big money!!! LOL, Is the hemi version awd or 4wd? I just upgraded from a sorry ass ford fouces to a Cadillac srx v8 awd and man that thing handles like a dream in awd. It has some serious power and can do 0-60 in 5.9 secs and the tires wont spin at all in the snow, its night and day difference while driving. My mind is at ease when my wife drives knowing she will be a little more safer in it than the focus

This Dodge Durango Hemi does AWD, 4HI, and 4LO. I had it in 4WD-4HI when I was in the snow. If you recall from visiting, there is a crazy steep and curvy road going a long hill, and then back up again until you get to my house. That was all snow, no pavement showing when I drove through it. Didn't slip once.

Actually, I was looking at 2 different Dodge Durangos at the dealer. One was a 4.7L V8, the other a 5.7L Hemi. The Hemi was only $1000 more (go figure), plus it had tons of other upgrades so I went for it.
 
Just got back home. I ended up buying an F-150 with the Triton V8. The Dodge I was looking at was a 2WD crew cab. It had power but the suspension sucked and the interior was kind of noisy. Spent a little more than I wanted to on the Ford but its 4WD with a good list of options. Doesnt have that Hemi power, but oh well.

Sweet ride, you won't need a trailer to go on your next arcade run!
 
I sold my little trailer and traded the Saturn in, it was on its last legs. Now we need a horse trailer. Tired of asking friends to haul our horse for us.

Auctions will probably not be happening for us anytime soon. Juggling 2 car payments until the Mustang gets paid off next year. Hence why I'm selling HOTD. SA seems to be done for anyway, looks like Grandview is our only resort now.

Ah, attending auctions doesn't make you an arcade collector so I wouldn't worry about that. I'll guarantee you'll still jump on the next $50 buy from Columbia Craigslist. ;) In the meantime, rest easy, catch up a little and enjoy what you have. You got a Tron for goodness sake!
