Back in the day I used to play Karate Champ at the Goldmine arcade at the Topanga Plaza Mall in Woodland Hills, California. Today, I got my very own for $175... woohooo!!!

Got that from the garage sale, eh? Nice pickup.

Yup! Apparently nobody bought it at the garage sale this weekend. The CL ad just said "arcade game" and did not have a price or a phone number. Not wanting to drive 40 minutes each way without knowing, I emailed them. I asked for the name of the game and the asking price. No response until Monday and when the response did come it just said "a Karate game" and didn't include the price. Fortunately they included a phone number in the email. I was happy to find it was Karate Champ and at a great price to boot!

Did you check it out at the garage sale?

Naw... I emailed her too... got the same response... but decided not to pull the trigger. I figured it was a Karate Champ when she responded with just Karate game... I have a garage full and plenty of projects. ;)
 
Congrats! I LOVE Karate Champ! It was my first game and it's still in my collection. The HSS kit is cool, even with the minor bugs.

I was deeply confused by this picture until I realized the Karate Champ cab is laying on it's side and the picture is sideways. :D
