Popular Post Johnny Come Lately Name Posted February 14, 2016 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 14, 2016 Don't normally bring stuff home when I go to the landfill, but someone was getting rid of this, and I thought it would be sweet for the basement. Problem is....I can't use it, because "someone" has discovered there's a ball involved and flips his shit if you try to play.... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the dump mutant "How I would go about getting that?" He said "Well I just charged the guy who dropped it off two punches, so give him a few bucks for it". I went over to the guy and gave him a punch card with three punches still left on it. He gave me a box with all the rest of the little crap. Said they never used it anymore. After lugging it downstairs, I can tell you for sure that when we move.....it's staying with the house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice find. You would think the guy would have found someone to give it to, or if not, just leave it out by the road. Gone in 30 seconds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bunch of numbers Posted February 14, 2016 Share #10 Posted February 14, 2016 I just got rid of one on craigslist that looked just like that. It was just the Foosball, nothing else. $35. I was glad to finally get rid of it. I would have given it to the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that'd be gone pretty quick on Craigslit here if it looked as nice as the one in the picture. I just suck at Foosball, and I have very little company, so it'd be lost on me. Now, a classic arcade game or decent pinball table, and I'd be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done stuff with ROMs and emulators (or some shit) and built consoles with a whole bunch of classic arcade games on them. They even build them into arcade style cabinets.

He's done stuff with ROMs and emulators (or some shit) and built consoles with a whole bunch of classic arcade games on them. They even build them into arcade style cabinets. I've played with emulators and ROMs; it's how I used to play Commodore 64 games that I still miss and have nostalgic fondness for on a PC. The games I want though are originals, rather than emulated. They're of two types. One: basic level not in budget. e.g., "The Addams Family" pinball table that pioneered electronic pinball and is relatively easy to find. Fun to play, looks great in good condition, not hard to find, just not something I have pocket change for. Or option 2: Impossible to find due to rarity, though amazingly fun, and therefore in the realm of someone super-rich, if it even exists. The example of that one is Sega System's G-LOC fighter-plane arcade game. There are several variants. Stand-up cabinet (basic). Sit-down cabinet (nice but just a stand-up cabinet built into a sit-down). A partially-rotating sit-down cabinet, which is pneumatic and has moderate rotation capabilities (fun, and rare), and finally, the never-find, insanely-nuts-expensive option: the Sega R360 cabinet version. Full 360 rotation, as in, you can do a complete barrel roll. The cabinet was used for several games with different software. It's also ginormous. Partial sit-down cabinet (poor quality video): Sega R360 cabinet (not sure this is for G-LOC, but good exmple of what it does): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted February 15, 2016 Share #18 Posted February 15, 2016 Oh, and I'm sure the R360 probably has unique power requirements. From what I've read, even on the partial-rotation cabinet, plans for some of its electronics and wiring may have been lost to time by Sega. I've heard of one or two people trying to re-wire one by trial and error with knowledge from people all over the place, which means tons of testing.
