Sincerely have not played or seen the Cinematronics version of this game in person since 1982. I saw the Vectorbeam version in a garage when I picked up my Satan's Hollow in Illinois about 3 years ago, then I played that same version last year at CAX. It ignited in me the burning desire to find the Cine version once and for all.
Backstory: I used to play the Cinematronics version of Space Wars with my friend Ralph Brandenburg. He was a foster kid that lived across the street from me and was 3 years older. Well, one day in 1983, he was just gone, having been moved to another foster home or back with his dad, I never did find out which, abruptly ending a 2+ year friendship when I was 10. I have missed the guy ever since. Well, fast forward 27 years and I saw KSKID was planning on parting this machine out. I expressed interest, then was PM'ed about another one in nicer condition. As I waited for the second guy to respond back, I was contacted by KSKID again, this time with a sense of urgency, as he really didn't want to part this machine out and knew I wanted it whole. I had the funds, but wasn't ready to ship a game up here, and sure as hell didn't have the time to make the 9 hour drive down to him. He was adamant that I make this work one way or the other, so I did. I set up shipping with SPEE DEE Delivery, who charged me $114 to ship this to me, business to business, with insurance. It got to me from Corey in less than 24 hours. I couldn't be happier. The delivery from SPEE DEE was the easiest I have ever taken. Lift gate lowered to my truck bed, pallet jack rolled the machine onto my bed, lowered it, done deal. This was my second experience with them, the first I was the shipper. I know SterlingRush had a problem with them, but he didn't have myself or Corey pallet his game. He left it up to them, and that was his mistake and the seller's cop out if you ask me. I will be using SPEE DEE for all my regional arcade shipments from now on. Anyway, thanks a billion for making me buy this Corey, I am extremely pleased. Game works 100%. Pics:
