5 grand huh? Hummm....
I've had a Space Flight game for quite a long time and it is one of the coolest EM's out there - IMHO. Took me a long time to find one, then shortly there after another one showed up. I had two for awhile...
Check this pic of my upright EM row. See Space Flight, now look down at the end...the blue and white cab. Can you make out the marquee? It's a EM game called Lunar Lander. It's very similar to Space Flight, except the moon surface is flat with 5 landing spots (craters - same as Space Flight), the Lunar Lander looks like a Lunar Lander model, and the sound track is actual Apollo 11 transmissions - Space Flight's are not but they still sound cool - like mission control. Currently it is not fully working, but I'm working on it. The game was made by a company named Cointronics in the bay area of CA.
If anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like - I could post more pics of it tonight...
