What a $40 mystery game looks like

[jehuie]

So I responded to an ad for an arcade game for $40 that has a "totally rebuilt monitor" and the game works good. He didn't know the name of the game and couldn't tell without turning it on but it wasn't near an outlet. But it's "some kind of game where you can drive a jeep or fly an airplane".

I told him I'd take it.

He said he had 15 responses in about 10 minutes before he pulled the ad. He's located in Hercules.

Any predictions?

Jakal? Did he say you do both? Drive a jeep and you can also fly? Or he wasn't sure which you do?

That narrows it down to about a thousand possibilities, unless he means that you can drive a Jeep or fly a plane in the same game, rather than meaning that he's not sure whether you can only drive a Jeep or only fly a plane.

Silkworm???

For $40 and a CL ad, I'm guessing he'll sell it from under you and you'll never know what it was

Um, I'll go with 1943 in a converted Atari Kangaroo

 

[RetroHacker]

Let's see... it's a conversion game, right? That means Arkanoid.

Silkworm???

I'm pretty sure this is right.
1UP controls a jeep

Yeah I predict I said I would take it about 2min after he posted and somehow he resonded to you first. Seriously how are you stealing all the games in the east bay?
And PS I bet anything it is silkworm.

John has become the Gaymond Lee of NorCal with buying games. Do you ever sleep or work, John? We all strive to be independently wealthy like you.

Dont worry bro. You will be able to buy it again for $300 next week.

Ahahaha! Ain't that the truth. There is a name from the past. I used to trade games with him all the time back when he was attending SDSU in the 90s...

 

[ChaosJohn]

Is it Pong?

Your garage is sweet as is. Silkworm wasn't going to improve it.

Whatever happened to Gaymond Lee?
