Title: and another from Portland, OR
Post by: geech on July 07, 2016, 08:53:03 pm
Hey There,

I recently joined after spending much time on KLOV (same handle as here) and discovering John's often jaw-dropping videos online. Dude, seriously, your basement about kills me. Well done. Looooong time vidiot here. Still have a few issues of Electronic Games magazines that I bought in the early 80s. Finally got serious about getting some games after many years of watching great deals go by on craigslist. Figures I would wait until there is an unprecedented upsurge in arcade fever! I recently landed my first pick up: Gauntlet II converted from a Gauntlet cab, fully functioning, no water damage, just missing the side art and black vinyl on one side. Not bad for under $200!

Glad to be here and LOVE the kick-ass resources here and in the arcade collecting community in general. Damn good stuff! And John, thanks again for all this and your vids. Holy crap...

Chris

Have: Gauntlet II (Gauntlet conversion).
Wants: the dreams - Donkey Kong, DKJr, Blaster, Major Havoc, Discs of Tron, Frenzy, Mr. Do, Millipede, Xevious, Up n Down, Karate Champ...oh so many but so little space.
