If the stars aligned, and I managed to have money AND space when the game presented itself, I'd like to have a Centipede for my wife and daughter to play. I just can't seem to hit on a game that my wife would like (Frogger, DK, Centipede). When one finally appears, it either gets sucked up at light-speed or I simply have no cash. Centipede would be nice to have tho.

I would probably even give SuperBee my Omega Race in trade for a Centipede. :D
 
That's a tough one for me, because most of what I am looking for is in my garage waiting to be restored. Currently I have in project form:

Space Invaders Deluxe
Sea Wolf
Joust
Gorf
TRON
Jungle King
Pac Man
Punchout
Donkey Kong
DK JR
Eyes

The only game I'd be looking for that I don't have is a Mad Planets.

I have a nice Centipede you can have, Multipeded too..
 
It would have to be a Taxi Pinball for me.

I would have to get rid of a game or two so that I could have enough space for it though.
 
being in uk i seriously doubt any collectors even have a radar as i would sooner find rocking horse dudoo's than dedicated cabs,yes it realy is shi**y here in uk for cab collecting.

you just sort of see them for sale on forums or the occassional rarity on ebay but,look at ebay for usa and ebay for uk,man uk is soo crap for arcade machines.they are either not in this country,destroyed,in hands of operators (which i seriously doubt) or the hands of collectors or they are locked up in warehouses where people just forgot about them (sort of like xfiles) cos i would sooner find a ufo than my holiest of holy grails which is a galaga!

i doubt i will see a galaga for sale in uk in the next 5 years!after that i aint got a clue.thats why i say,we dont realy have radars,i would sooner find a submarine washed up off the isle of skye than rare dedicated cabinets.

i come here to get my arcade fix's,i watch you lucky buggers getting warehouse fulls for $50,you lucky gits!
:(

I've always thought of Centipede as a great game to have in a collection. It's got a lot of re-play value. I'd like to own a mini someday, but I lack the room right now, and I've made getting harder-to-find mini machines a priority. (That's also why I currently don't own a Galaga mini.)

Ones I'll eventually be in the market for, if I figure out my space issues: Qix, Asteroids, Tempest
 
I am officially out of room..having to sell a game to make room for another..so with that being said the only game on my list currently is a StarWars UR. I dont even want to think about what game i would have lose for that purchase. Not having space does keep the impulse buys in check, though...
 
Is this Realistic Radar or FANTASY LANDRADAR?!?!?
Cause if its the real world I might be looking at a Data East Simpsons Pin
If its FANTASYLAND then by all means ROBOTRON here I come!
 
I want for nothing except Quantum. I have everything else I want as far as video games go. When I move to a bigger space, I will probably pick up some more classics to fill it. I've been thinking about getting a pinball or two lately and Funhouse and Elvira & the Party Monsters are on that list.
