I went on a warehouse raid with Joe last Saturday. Here are two photos I snapped with my cell while I was there. We will be going back this Saturday to pick-up some more stuff. The guy had about 100 games or so...

I'd love to add a Phoenix to the collection. I have a near mint complete Phoenix control panel in my parts stash just in case I find one with a trashed c.p.o.

Kyle :cool:
 
Can you give the camera to your friend next time? :D

LOL, sorry about the limited number of pictures; I tore my ACL, so I was gimping around most of the time. I will take more photos this weekend. Most of the games were restore projects, but most of them were in really good physical condition. I will post more about the place and the games on Sunday (with better pics :))

I'm just bustin' your chops. I'll go on entire vacations and get home and think, wait a minute, did I take any pictures? (No.) I know how it is... :D
 
Lots of Phoenix love on the forum today. What did you get?

Do you want to hug it out, Lindsey?


I asked him to pull some of the games from the back (bunch of games were blocked and I didn't have the time last Saturday to wait for them to be cleared). Neo-Geo, Mrs. Pac, and a couple others. I picked up a working monitor and chassis for my Galaga while I was there and a couple of other samll things. This Saturday will be the real raid.
 
Lotsa pics...make us proud, gimpy.

What's funny about the injury is that everytime I would see an athlete/fighter get hurt I would question their heart/injury. Now I will side with the hurt individual everytime. This fucking sucks to be gimped out. I will make you proud next time though...promise.
 
Damn! I need some access to this warehouse. I just started collecting recently and haven't been to a raid yet.

There are about 3 or 4 places here in Houston to raid. A couple of them have savey owners, so calling it a raid wouldn't be right. I think of a raid as finding an untouched warehouse with an owner who doesn't want the games, or is willing to let them go for nothing. It is fun either way though.

Yeah, I'd take what i can get. Are there any meetups for the Houston area arcade groups other than the HAAG show that looks to be once a year?
 
I've knocked a game off the back of a trailer and had to choose between letting it come crashing down on the ground or my shoulder. I chose shoulder. Next time I'm choosing ground. :)

Not to forget the flipper chicken move you did walking backwards off the edge of my liftgate while unloading the Jack and The Giant Killer. It was graceful the way you smacked the ground (all of us thought so anyways) but I'm so surprised you didn't wreck yourself that day.
 
so what am i chopped liver? I am the one who gave you your first freebie ya know and i didnt even get a call? oh i get it, your afraid ill walk out of there with more than yall!! Im just messing with ya, but for real though wheres the games?
