Inspired from our phabulous phorum phag Phetishboy what are your best "gets" of 2010? I know we still have 3 months left, but how would you rate the first 9? This is quite simple for me.

Behold!

Food Fight, and Zoo Keeper FTW!
 
Without a doubt, my best get was also my nightmare leaving-at-two-in-the-morning-straight-to-Walkamo's-house-in-Cali-by-eight drive to pick up my Championship Sprint and Rampage, only to turn right around and drive back to make my appointment back in Phoenix at 4pm Saturday...

Needless to say, my 4pm appointment ended up being canceled - thank God - and I crashed very hard for about 12 hours. But got two awesome machines for dirt cheap. ;) Thanks again, Chris! Still stoked to have both of these (ginormous) games!

X-Men and SFII:WW. Two of my favorites from when I was a kid. Dream come true. :)

Also...the Neo Geo I just picked up. It's going to go right next to SFII once I clean it up. Another one in which I dropped A LOT of quarters.

Though, most guys here don't care about JAMMA games. :D

Very nice, Chris. And the Marilyn version to boot. Well done, my man.
 
Discs of Tron for sure, which was an unexpected pickup. Also unexpected was Space Duel, which I wasn't sure if I'd like to own, but I'm really glad now that I picked it up.
 
My $75 Assault. Granted, it did need $30 in monitor replacement parts. And the tube needs degaussing. But still, I think that was a great price for a relatively uncommon and very fun game.

 
Nice original Ms. pac for $100, non working, cost $6 to get running like a champ, and last week a an original Burger time. And let's not forget the winter project red tent for $100.
 
This is a tough one since I only started buying games this year. I think the best one so far has to be the Punch-Out that I bought from Gregr. It has become sort of a sickness for me, as many of you have found. As of yesterday I am up to 21 vids. Getting a gorf and stargate this weekend. Maybe I will hit 30 by years end.
 
Hmm. I think the only things I've gotten this year is a Moon Patrol project (restoration currently underway), Karate Champ (GREAT!), and a Super Breakout I just got today...
 
This is a tuff one but i'm on the verge of picking up 15 games for a reasonable price. Nothing in here that makes my weiner tingle initially but the thought of scrapping every single one of em does give me a little lift.
 
As discussed in my own "Look At Me" thread, my best pick up was tops on my want list- Crystal Castles:

Second would be my red tent, which I love dearly but must let 'er go due to space concerns from wifey. They say if you really love something, let it go and if it's meant to be it will come back to you... :001_scry:
