And I got it!!

Finally my search is over I present to you....

Star Wars!!!
I was cutting across town and The seller (from this horrible ad http://tucson.craigslist.org/vgm/1616893424.html) finally called me back. And he said "Well if you want to look at the games come over now."

I got there right as the owner drove the games up to his "buddies" place. They carelessly dropped the games off the truck. The were not even tied down much from what I could see. No wonder the games didn't work any more. I looked at the so called "time piloet" Which looked like an ugly conversion of an atari game (a dig dug from what you guys here on the forums said) Then I turned my head over to the SW. It looked solid, some burns on CP, dirt and Tape glue on the side art. I went around to the back The panel above the back door was destroyed. They literally ripped off a chunk of wood where a lock was and cracked the rest. No wonder the games didn't work any more.
I aksed how much? "$500" and I couldn't talk him down. he said "well I have 2 other guys waiting do you want it or what?" The rest was history..
It turns out that the game was missing two leg levelers. Now I realy understand how much they help!

So now I finally got it. Wohoo!

I probably would have passed on it,but then again I'm not a huge fan of the game either.And I had a Dig Dug cab once...it's really heavy.One reason why I don't have it anymore.

And the way the guys manhandled the game would have deterred me a lot as well.But it's glad to hear that you finally found the game that you wanted,albeit not in the condition that you would've liked for it to have been in.
 
Ghostly did you get the other game too?

Nah, I decided I'll be picky. I'll say I really wanted my Star Wars bad so I didn't care to look at the other game. It's strange because the seller is still advertising it for sale...and still calling me up to see if i'll buy the game he has left..

I probably only got if for that price though because of its shape. Yeah true.. But I got it!

Very nice! Hopefully it won't be too hard to fix up.
