Mostly working Gyruss for $90!
Somebody had better snatch this up quick quick. A slightly buggy, but complete Gyruss for $90 on Craigslist in Upper Arlington, a suburb of Columbus right by OSU. (more…)
Different Mr. Do! Bezel Sizes
I was looking forward to today, a package was coming for me that contained not one but two of those character artwork Mr. Do! bezels that you can find on the rare white licensed version of the game. The price to ship is the same whether it was one or two, so I just bought both. However, I got a little bit of a surprise when I did some comparison. (more…)
Sinistar for $200 Craigslist – Phoenix Arizona

Star Wars cockpit marquee glass films

Second Robotron cabaret prototype found in Illinois!
Last night Chris got to see a Robotron prototype in a cabaret cabinet. That was 12 hours ago, I called to check on the Mad Planets I bought for $50 and he told me that the game was being wheeled out. I was so starstruck that I was getting that Gottlieb classic for $50 that it has taken some simmering to really realize the big story that is this Robotron prototype. Granted, it took a little research, but now that I know that this Robotron is quoted as one of two that exist from Eugene Jarvis himself, I know this is a huge deal! (more…)
