Strange video game story.. picked up a new game, but the bee died...

was driving home with a pacman plus yesterday and when I went to unload the game there was bee stuck to the T-molding of the game.. It must have gotten stuck in there on the way back. Either it landed when I was in traffic or it smacked into it on the freeway..

Poor guy was flapping his wings like mad to get free. Felt sorry for it and I even busted up some of the molding to free him, but it was all worn out.. I guess it was too much for it, as It was dead in the morning..

here is a pic..

but was the game ok? Just from the small part that you can see in the pic it looks pretty worn and beat up.
 
cool. the bee will live on..

My dogs killed a dragon fly yesterday. Either that or he dropped dead.. My dogs really like to kill these big black bees. that visit our lemon tree..

Actually thats the worst of the game. the rest is pretty nice. the guy even had bought some reproduction side and front art for it. But I really don't like putting that stuff on. they did the front... but they did not want to do the sides. I have it if someone wants it. That an replace t-molding and the game will be really nice. The monitor glass and CP are nice.

Those are carpenter bees, or "wood bees" as most people call them. We had an apple tree infested with them at our old house. I kept a tennis racket in the back yard to swat them. That would really piss them off...:D

Oh, nice pickup, too. Does it work?

The ole Tennis Racket method! I did plenty of bee-volleying BITD.My parents have a log home and those things used to love to try to make themselves at home in it,so they'd send me and my brother out there to John McEnroe their asses.:D

just got back home.. 850 miles, 5 games delivered, 2 games picked up, 6 different homes in 36 hours... Part of the problems selling games at CAX you have to deliver them... LA sucks..

Yes, its a fully working pacman plus. Guy had room for 1 game, and this one had to go. Pacman plus is extremely hard game..

The repro pac side art will go with the game(I don't want to install it, that will be the job for the new owner).

Funny stuff.. pour one out for the bee.
