Which Would You Pick to Own? Multiple Games

Added Qbert. Forgot about that one.

star wars and tempest, they are arguably the most popular/most collectible games on the list. However from a mechanical standpoint, those 2 games suck balls to get up and running too bieng vector games.

I have to agree. These would be mine as well.

I'm a huge fighting games fan, as a child of the arcades silver age...

I would still pick up Star Wars, over anything else.

If that MK3 was dedicated...perhaps a different story...but most likely still Star Wars.

A working Star Wars sit down is going to be awesome trade fodder, even if you didn't want to keep it long term. I bet you could trade it to get two of the other titles on that list down the road.

If they were all offered for $200, the order with which you'd buy them is the order in which you can get the greatest return on your investment later:

Star Wars Cockpit
Timber
Tempest
Tapper

Don't bother with the rest...

tempest is worth less than tapper.

If you really have a shot at all of them and space is not an issue.. Star wars if it has the 25" monitor. If not, then timber. they are the 2 hardest to find..

If space is an issue, and your not worried about what its worth, then go with jamma cabinet mk4..

If it was my choice, I would go with tempest. Its te best game out of the bunch..

Qbert would top my list. Never really cared for starwars, tapper blah..., never played timber though.

personally, if it were simply for my collection, i'd buy Tempest first, Star Wars cockpit (even non-working) second, and Bosconian third.

i have a Tempest and a Bosconian already and i've played everything but the MK games within the last year or so.

Opinions wanted.
Which game would you choose to own out of the following?
AND why?

Tempest
Tapper
Timber
Qbert
Bosconian
Sit Down Star Wars (NON WORKING)
Centipede
Mortal Kombat 4 (dedicated)
Mortal Kombat 3 (non dedicated)

Mortal Kombat 4. It is dedicated, all the MKs and KIs can be swapped into it easily and I used to play the MKs and KIs in the arcade all the time, so it has great memories for me.

I am leaning towards qbert tempest and star wars.

Tempest. Color. Vector. Classic. I have had 2 and regret selling them.

If someone got the Tempest first, then I would take Centipede. I should never have sold the 'pede, either. Great cab, great gameplay, wide appeal to casual gamers.

Thats a great point. People LOVE the 'pede.

tempest is worth less than tapper.

Only to collectors like us. Joe Blow on the street remembers Tempest and not Tapper and would buy it first, so if you had to sell it locally, that's your best bet. The other two would be much higher than either Tempest or Tapper to collectors, who we would sell it to....
