Rarely collected or under appreciated games in your lineup?

I did a similar thing.

Luckily I kept 7 games so I don't have to start completely over but I wish I had kept a few more that I won't like paying current prices for (Championship Sprint, After Burner). Dropped from 30 to 7 games when I moved then didn't touch them for 9 years. Have since added a few things back.

Similar here. Well, I didn't get rid of any. I just didn't buy anything new and rarely signed in. Then about 3 years ago, I sold a pinball machine I had for 10 years, and I got sucked back in. Currently, really enjoying the hobby again (and this forum).

That is one sick looking cab

Pretty much 90% of everything I own.

Never buy retail. Find something broken and put more money in it than retail. That is the way.

You forgot to sell it at a loss.

Pot of Gold

Underrated for sure. I had a really nice one for a hot minute and sold it to a fellow KLOV member. It was a simple, yet challenging game that sometimes I regret selling.

Legend of Kage. Not a great game, but a keeper for me, as long as I have room.

yes good example

It seems almost nobody gives a shit about Pre-Radarscope Nintendo machines, so like a qaurter of my collection. Only reason anyone cares about Radarscope is because it turned into Donkey Kong.

I also feel bronze age games outside if galaxian and space invaders largely don't get enough love.

I like Space Firebird, but probably only for nostalgic reasons. When I was a kid, there was one at a local Pizza place and for some reason it had unlimited lives (or credits maybe).
I stayed for hours...

There was a VS Super Mario Bros in my town in an orange Nintendo cab that you could kick the coin door and it would add a credit - played a bunch of SMB that day

I don't have the cab but I have the bootleg board for the game Kyros called Kairos Kwan, I'd use it if I could find the pinout which is different from the original

Great vertical scrolling beat'm up, I surprised it's not more popular.

1978 Exidy Star Fire. Only a few peeps I've talked to know about it. Took me 15+ years to find one! Oh, and I have to agree with an earlier poster that about 90% of my collection is that way.

I've only seen a couple of these. Awesome game. Way ahead of its time.

What kind of monitor does it use?

LOL, it's a modified 19" color TV, still in it's metal woodgrain cabinet. Chassis is similar to a WGK4600 I believe.

Wow that's very cool looking. You got more pics of it posted somewhere?

Not familiar with that one. And a perfect example - a game that if you have it in your game room might be the only one alive.

Here's an old thread on it when I brought it home... unfortunately, there are 'photobucket' logos plastered all over the pics, sorry.

Long Sought For Grail Comes Home - StarFire!

Hello all, Made a 640 mile round trip yesterday to pick this up, Exidy Star Fire! I've been looking for this game since the late 90's. Up to this point, I've only been able to locate a manual and a marquee. A longtime friend from our RGVAC days hooked me up with it. I did not know he had one...

I have a few rare games in my lineup, but I wouldn't really call them machines that nobody cares about. Just harder to find.

I think the closest I have for this is I have a board and marquee for Gate of Doom. I want to put it back in a cabinet at some point. It's a kind of uncommon Data East Jamma game, but I love it. Great soundtrack.

 

[Olexo2424]

I guess the closest I have in this category would probably be like Liam's above. Just harder to find. Probably Bosconian or my Crystal Castles cocktail would be the rarest but like, people still know and appreciate these games so.
