Which of these 4 games would you choose?

So what I have decided to do is primarily go after Tempest and Carnival (not Carnevil ya goof lol). I can make both of those fit after making some adjustments.

I am working to sell my Gyruss and Scramble and Space Invaders, and then replace those with Space Invaders/Qix Anniversary Edition, Rally-X, and a high-quality multigame that will do Gyruss and Scramble.

There, I win.

This thread was actually quite helpful, thanks everyone!
 
1 - Tempest
2 - Qix
3 - Rally-X
4 - Carnival

If none are grails for you, honestly I'd recommend skipping them all and waiting for a game you love.

This is why people say they don't have enough room, they're filling their space with filler. It'd be a different discussion if all 4 were grails and you could only fit one, then that's something else.

But even in that case, you would immediately know which one you favored most of the 4.

You aren't wrong, but in my case I have been driving around the country buying my grails and in my travels coming across other games that weren't grails but were stupid cheap. Hard to turn down a $100 game when it's right there. My logic was I would rather fill a spot than have it open and it take two years to fill. At the end of the day it's only 4 games and it was relatively easy to figure out a solution once I asked the brain trust.
 
It's a tossup between tempest and qix for me. Problem is that I like all 4 of those games.

I guess I'll go with this one.
1 - Tempest
2 - Qix
3 - Rally-X
4 - Carnival
 
It's between Qix and Tempest. I'd pick Tempest between the two but it's a bit of a tough call.
 
Alpha's solution?

So friend who has been through the ups and down of life with you want to experience the joys of video arcade collecting?

Here why don't you borrow a a few arcade machines, you will know if you want this life style after a year or two.

Many many wives have accused me of infecting people with the arcade bug.

A few buddies infected thier work place.
 
Possible Tempest, Rally-X, and Space Invaders/Qix acquisition soon. That just leaves Carnival, which isn't very surprising since I never see them for sale.

I have a working Tempest, and a project Rally X, which makes me lean towards Qix. If I had none of them, my order of preference would probably be Tempest, Qix, Rally X, Carnival. I have a lot of fond memories of playing Qix, but probably because it was one of those games that no one else was playing, whereas for Tempest, I would probably have had to wait in line.
 
Yeah same, Qix and RallyX and Carnival were almost always open, while Tempest would have a marquee stacked with quarters
 
Don't sell Gyruss. It won't be the same in a multi without the monroe IMHO.
 
Wanted to say thanks to the KLOV brain trust, and the numerous people who reached out with links and to make trade deals. I started with room for 1 game, and just a few days later ended up with all 4 with room to spare heh.

I have the Space Invaders/Qix and Tempest, the other two are in progress but hope to have in the next week. The SI/Qix is MINTY...23 years old with only 11 plays on it wow.
