RE: OT: Favorite Arcade game? - all day baby - 02-20-2012
Star Castle. I could play for hours on one quarter, quite literally. I knew a pattern that was practically unbeatable. I forget my high score, but I do remember having 99 lives when they pulled the plug on me one night at closing time. I actually had way more than that, but it couldn't register more than 99. They put up a card on the machine with my high score and # of lives. No one ever came close to beating my score.

Always loved Dig Dug. Time Crisis was the first arcade game I (and a friend) beat. Spent a FORTUNE in quarters that day.

If you want something more unique...I wonder what something like this would cost.

see now thats cool! I actually have been busy on my phone finding some dealers on some baseball pinball machines...most sell for 2k in working order with minor cosmetic wear...but I have a lead on one for around $600...I know of a local guy to be who has 500 pinball machines

But it's pricey. Used to love this game as a kid.

Yeah id love something like that its just hard to shell out alot when you could use that money to buy collections ha...my luck is wed drop 3k on a machine then the next day a sick collection would come in and we wouldnt be able to finish the deal...that why we want one under a thousand so its not too much buy money and it wouldnt take too long to get the money back out of the machine
