While sitting at work my mom sends me a text saying a guy down the street was selling arcade games. He had Double Dragon, Arch Rivals, Time Pilot, and a Playchoice 10.....Since I wasn't there to look at the games I took a chance on the playchoice and double dragon. Both are in need of a good cleaning but overall the cabs are in OK shape. The playchoice is in a DK cab and came with Contra, SMB2, Rescue Rangers, Double Dragon, Gauntlet and Mike Tysons Punch out fully working, while the DD boots up but has an odd yellow hue to the screen. Further details coming tomorrow once I can get home and do some more looking around.

The real question is what you paid or are paying for them.
 
How does someone have these games in their home and keep them so DIRTY?! Looks like they should clean up nicely! WTF is that low slung side art on the DK/Playchoice?!

Can't be sure but it looks like a Bally Midway symbol on there?

Nice find!
 
THe DD looks decent enough to restore! That side art on the PC-10 conversion is quite possibly the dumbest side art I've ever seen! At least there are some decent games in it! :cool:
 
Well I paid 225 for both of em....I would have liked to gone a little cheaper but in the long run it wont be so bad.

To answer the other posters question when I got of work this morning I went back with my mom to see the other machines in person. An elderly couple owned the house and apparently when they bought the house the previous owners left not only a full size boat in the garage, they also left SEVEN arcade machines behind....smdh. The couple left them sitting in the garage for years obviously and aside from the Dig Dug (that my mom got for herself) the Arch Rivals was the only other machine working fully working.

He had

Baseball Seasons (didnt bother to see if it was working)
Altered Beast in a Dynamo (played blind)
Dig Dug (bad ram 2L?)
Double Dragon (screen is a bright yellow still looking into it)
Playchoice 10 (works 100%)
Arch Rivals (fully working)
Time Pilot (heavy wood damage beat all to hell didn't bother with this one either)


I told him in the future I may be back for the altered beast cab....very nice people....
