So.........
Stopped by and looked at the Omega Race/Sky Shark today, it's not the best condition game I've seen, but I know it's not the worst that anyone's seen. As mentioned by Troxil(he says hi btw Troxil, and hopes you're enjoying your goodies you picked up), the guy was super nice to chat with, and a straight shooter. The first thing I asked him was about his history with the game. He purchased the game the way it sits today, so we can't blame him for jamma-fying this cockpit. So to clarify, neither him or I robbed the classic of it's internal organs, I want to make sure that was out there, lol. Anyway, much like myself, he had hopes of cleaning it up and doing something with it one day. Time restraints and other things got in the way and he decided to let it move on. So after about 1/2 an hour, it was time to decide. Everything fired up and worked, minus the joystick with the mentioned issues. Nothing inside the game was Omega Race(I don't think anyway), the wiring looked too new, it was replaced with a colored monitor, and things were missing from inside the cockpit under the monitor glass. With all of that being said, I didn't know how much I would want to get involved with it. Needless to say, he shot me a price I couldn't pass up, and now it's home.
Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it yet, but it's here. I think it might be cursed to, as soon as I paid for it, my day went downhill. All hell broke out at work, end of the work day I was informed that a friend of mine I hadn't seen in 6+ years passed away today(still hasn't really hit me yet), moving the game inside my house involved ripping a chunk out of linoleum that wasn't even a year old, and then when I wanted to make a nice relaxing stop at Bene's Pizza to play in the arcade after picking up some things in Omaha, that placed was packed to the rim with people. So I didn't stop, wanted some time to just be alone and vid out for a few, and forget how bad the day had become after the buy. So on that note, I'm calling it a day in a few minutes, but here's some pics as it sits right now. Nothing has been done to it yet, still dirty and sassy, the way I like it. First pic shows the linoleum rip.
