I finally scored a Haul that beat my Game Hauling Beast. This run could not be handled by the Ridgeline

• G-LOC Cockpit
• Top Skater (50” Monitor)
• Super Hang On
• Cisco Heat
• most of Rampage

There was doubt that my game hauler could haul the big toys. That is a Star Wars cockpit loaded in Reggie’s bed! With room to spare, thank you.

I never had a doubt:

I acquired a working Mortal Combat in a Rally X cabinet. I am planning to use most of this for the Tetris, but the leftovers may be another game for me. COuld also be a test harness.

TJ wants a Tetris. I found a board on KLOV for $55. I have an upright cabinet with power, monitor, clear glass and a nearly useful control panel. Target is $300 or less.

Qix is back. I had to sell mine before the AZ to NY move. I have re-acquired this game. This machine is in very nice shape and has more original parts than my first one. Hopefully it will serve well in the game room.

Ms. Pac-Man was delivered to a crowd of kids who played for hours. Happy new home!

Picked up a Ms. Pac-Man today. Working, nice condition artwork-wise. I plan to improve reliability and artwork where I can.

We picked up 4 games at the Vidiot for a Day party. Rain was forecast for Sunday and Monday, not Saturday night! They were wrong. I drove 4 games 250 miles in the rain. It was not fun. I believe we arrive with no casualties and little damage but it was slow going and we had to stop several times to tighten.

New project, new era. We acquired this Golden Tee because the demand is still pretty high and the price was right. This one is not working. Monitor is busted and the board condition is unknown.

This is a post-2000 era game. Way out of my normal experience. I had to look inside! There is almost nothing I recognize. The power supply is an ATX, computer style, closed box with a fan mounted on it. I see a Hard Drive and a VGA card. I think my brother in law would know more about fixing this beast than I do.

It should be an interesting ride.

Operation Wolf is operational. The cabinet still needs a little cosmetic work, but the new board brought this unit to life.

David spied an Operation Wolf in Sayreville for a great price. The artwork is in great shape. The boards are missing, but the price was right. It is a very clean cabinet.
