Here's a clip of my current collection in the garage (including my VOOM cab!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PibGb86fMNA

... I must visit your house. If only to play that Super Mario Bros. pinball machine (the last time I've seen that machine was quite a few years ago, in an arcade that was pretty close to Niagra Falls, on the Canadian side.

A Neo Geo cab without Metal Slug? WTF. :P

Also, Magical Drop > Puzzle Bobble IMHO. Although Puzzle Bobble is way more popular, so maybe I'm wrong.

I'm after Metal Slug(s) right now, but you'd be surprised what they sell for sometimes :lol: I got the other games in a bulk deal so I haven't had my entire pick of the selection. When I get more cash I'm going to throw Metal Slug 2 and Strikers 1945 Plus in.

I don't have a collection of arcade machines, but I want to ask you guys a question. What arcade machines do you think would be REALLY HARD to find?

ever watched that movie, The Last Starfighter? Well, Atari just so happen to have made an acutal The Last Starfighter arcade game with real 3D graphics, powered by the Motorola (now Freescale) 68000 processor chip. Unfortunately, the arcade game never made it past prototype stage because the machines would've cost $10 Grand each! How's that for hard to find!?
