I did some work for a guy, and as payment he gave me a pool table. I was psyched about it at the time until I got it home and realized that I didn't have any room for it. I found a billiards dealer around here with a few arcade machines that I guess he's having trouble selling. I offered him my table in trade for one of them and he said I could have my pick of any machine. All are in reasonably good condition and none need major work. I'm kinda torn, but which would you choose?

Die Hard the Arcade
Terminator 2
Ninja Gaiden
Twin Cobra
The Real Ghost Busters
Dig Dug
Blitz 99
 
Are you kidding? A pool table is worth at least 3 machines to that dealer. Get at least two.

I'd pick Twin Cobra and Dig Dug myself...
 
Well, I'm trying to make him deliver and since he's in Denver and I'm in Boulder, he wants pictures first. I completely broke down the table and I've got it a little scattered, so I've got to dig it all out first. I think the slate is sitting in my shed and it's about 20 degrees outside, so that can wait. He's had these games for sale for months and I'm sure he won't sell it before tomorrow.

It's only a 7', so I think getting one is fairly reasonable.
 
Better check those games out good. He's been listing them as "must sell" for months now. Makes me wonder why they haven't sold.
 
They probably haven't sold because he's asking $300 a piece. Thankfully this table is worth far less to me due to lack of space. I didn't work that hard for it. The guy basically just wanted it gone.
 
That is true, Dig Dug is on my wanted list for my personal collection, but I don't know if I want it for ~$300. I think T2 would flip better and if it were placed on location (which is a thought that has started entering my mind lately), I think it might do better than Dig Dug. Any ops out there have phenominal sucess with Dig Dug as opposed to T2 lately?
