It's great having these games at home to play but i sure do miss trying to beat the high score of someone else for a change. Even though i own it, i still suck at it and could not get the top spot so i need to go back. I'm pretty sure the owner of the machine is the top spot since it was like 20k higher than the others....i'd like to beat it.
I dumped $10 worth of quarters in it (set for .50 plays)

Pretty cool to see the game there. they also had a Defender, both in excellent shape.
 
wow 50 cents too play that? It was never priced higher then a 25 cents back in it's hay day!


Everything cost half as much back in the hay day:rolleyes: We are looking into opening a Pizza Arcade. The machines will be set on 50 cents:eek: Operating costs are just a bit higher than 1982!! I knew you were cheap, but never thought I would see you bitch about 25 cents LOL!!

I know and I really didn't mind paying it to be honest even though i have the game at home.

I actually only had a few quarters and hadn't planned on getting more but after the first game, and i felt i could knock off the high score, i went and got more.

I was the only one playing the game all night. Nobody played either game actually so he's certainly not making any money on them having them powered up for nobody.

What was the condition of the machine?
