what game projects have you had to put to the side because a better one came?

This year has been so crazy for me so far, and it's only February!! At the end of 2009 I bought my Omega Race, and was totally into getting her up and running. And then, right at the beginning of 2010, 3 game projects popped up out of nowhere for totally ridiculous prices that would have left me sobbing in a corner had I not gone for them. As a result, my focus on OR has been totally diverted now.

Is this a "normal" occurrence? In the 5 years that I have been collecting games, this is the absolute first time it's happened to me. Is it because the economy is forcing these games out for sale? Or have I just gone to the "next" level in this addiction? :(

Personally I've got an attention span of about 45 seconds. I was working on restoring my IGT floor model slot machine when a Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom showed up on Ebay for $1. I was happily working to fix/restore its 4-million different problems when two Monaco GPs cabarets and a Turbo mini fell onto my lap, so now I'm totally caught up on fixing the Turbo. Now I've got a Road Blasters upright, Buck Rogers upright, IGT slant-top slot machine, 2 Monaco GPs and a Turbo mini in my basement and I've not stayed focused long enough to get even ONE of the damn things working properly.

I may need an intervention. :( Where's the nearest AA, Arcades Anonymous?
