So normally I just lurk around here and keep my mouth shut...
But today I got a good reason to let some shit fly,
I FINALLY SCORED SOMETHING OFF CRAIGSLIST
I had just about given up hope on the List of Craig, I had recently moved and sold off my games, and rarely steped foot into the world of CL, all I had when I woke up this morning was my RollerGames pinball...
Long story short, I met a fellow KLOV'r today with an awseome collection who was in the typical panic state of " I need MORE ROOM!"
I gladly fired up the old MurderMobile/GameGetter and set about on my merry way to work.
The deal was the second best thing I have EVER stumbled upon! This machine sadly to say isnt even for me, (a housewarming present for my brother) but has been on my list for a long while.
I forgot to discuss with him any specifics about listings or "outing" him here, so I will not name him just as a common courtesy, but I was for sure pleased with the condition, price and he is a stand up guy with an AWSEOME collection and I hope to do more buisness with him again in the future.


So I give to you
Operation Wolf 3

Glad you are happy with the Op Wolf III

Hey Sgt, I am glad you are stoked on the game and that it went to a good home. It was nice meeting you and your buddy and we will have to do some more game stuff in the future.

@Rob, nice memory on that Op Wolf III discussion at Drewster's. It is actually a pretty cool game and that one is in really nice shape.
 
Nice find! Never seen one before.

Though, shouldn't it technically be called Operation Wolf 2 since Operation Thunderbolt wasn't called Operation Wolf 2? I guess it's the same thing when Nintendo jumped from Donkey Kong to Donkey Kong 3 when there technically wasn't a Donkey Kong 2. ;)

Yeah those pesky,pesky technicalities.
 
I would be GEARED up to get to actually spend some time on any ONE of those machines yet alone a chance to paw them all!
I was on the clock when I picked up OpWolfIII so I didnt really have a chance to do anything but drool...
So yeah, whenever you guys get a date together, I will for sure MAKE time to get over there as I am only about 30 min away.
Looking forward to meeting some locals!
 
I never knew it existed either. Did anyone look at the klov screenshots for it? Story screen looks downright incredible...


"A few years after

huge force of terrorists

"Skull"

occupied some island

they are armed with nuclear weapon"


Classic! Even in 1994 the translations suck! I got to admit I was drawn right in when I found out the terrorists occupied "some island". HA!

"All your base are belong to us!"

Wiz is having the next arcade bash so let's get a scheduled date started!

I still plan on having a party over here, I just need to clear out my current projects and fix a couple other small things in the gameroom before I have people through. I was hoping to have it this month and may still be able to pull it off, but I have a couple of the weekends coming up already spoken for. I am shooting for the end of the month or the first weekend in September, we will see what happens. I will definitely put down a planned date in the next several days once I get a few of these games out.

And yes, the home screen of the Op Wolf is hilarious with the broken english. One of the cool things about that game was that the skull almost looks 3D at the beginning of the game given the reflecting monitor image and colors used. I was never able to get it down the stairs and into my gameroom, so I am glad it moved on to someone who will enjoy it. Now I have to figure out what to do with the T2 I recently picked up considering that it is the exact same cabinet.

I wish I would have taken a closer look at that cab, are the boards and guns interchangeable with Op WolfIII? I like the T2 guns alot better and it would be sweet to be able to swap boards back and forth...

If you need to make room I know of a great spot for that Defender cab ;-)
