I would imagine there would have been metal bars to each side;
sort of looks like one of them Missile command cocktails

Myrddin

So assuming they're legit empty unused ones from the 80's, is there no real value to them?

The Last Bandit

If you're in the market for a MAMEable cocktail cab then these are a good enough starting point. Not at €150 though, 75 is more like it - you don't build one of these yourself for less.

I personally don't like those types, much prefer the Taito style ones with the metal legs.

Why do I have a feeling that the ********** that just posted up on the Rage's post on Facebook regarding 'rare' games is somebody from this forum?

Lol, what did he say?

MrVestek

Something like "so... when are you posting up the pictures of the rare games?"

:P

MrVestek

My response:

I see you've deleted Stephen's comment.

I tend to agree, where are the rare games lads? Don't get me wrong I've shopped in there before and you guys have some really great deals at times but none of these are that rare apart from on auctions that haven't ended on Ebay yet.

There's a reason that not many people bid on these ridiculously prices games on Ebay... they're not that rare and not worth that much.

The only game there that I can see that even sort of rare on these shores is perhaps Pikmin for GC and Timestalkers for Dreamcast but again... not that rare at all.

Dreamcast games come factory sealed all the time and at cheap prices due to alot of warehouses having overstock of these games after the Dreamcasts' demise... they're not worth **** even if they are factory sealed.

My response:

I suspect the two of you will be joining Retr0 soon in the ranks of 'yee who have been banned'

MrVestek

They seem to have deleted the picture. Ahh well.

MrVestek

Lol at the following exchange via PM:

Me
Thanks for that lads I was only trying to help, no need to ban me from the page.

14:30
The R.A.G.E.
What? we did not ban you.

14:30
Me
You did aye, want me to prove it to you?

MrVestek

Hah just called them out for banning me, at which point they unban me and send me a message saying something along the lines of:

'We'd have no reason to ban you, did you use bad language on the page? You haven't been banned bro...'

At which point the link to their page goes blue again meaning that I've been unbanned. They must think that I'm a ****ing retard or something.

My response to this in full for anyone that cares:
Me
You did aye, want me to prove it to you?

15:21
The R.A.G.E.
why would we ban you? did you use bad language on the page?

15:26
Me
I see that you've unbanned me again, thanks for that.
Despite the fact that you've claimed that I wasn't banned I was for a time and we both know it. Maybe you didn't do it yourself but I know that I was.
You see when you message somebody from your page but you have banned person from said page a link no longer appears on the name of the profile that messaged the person, it turns black instead of being blue.
It's blue again which means that you'e unbanned me to then message me saying 'whao chill out dude you're not banned!'
So thanks I guess for unbanning me but we both know what we're at here and we both know why I was 'temp banned' so to speak.
That's a nice picture of the 'rare' range you have on your page by the way or erm... ohh well it was nice while it was there anyway.
;-)

Jebus I was thinking more €20. They don't even have the metal legs :eek:
Edit: 20 a piece, I mean :pac:

I wouldn't pay 150 for one, but they're really interesting yolks. Definitely look like they've never been used.

I know but you'd be surprised how much stuff costs. A sheet of MDF large enough to make one of these is probably over €20, add veneer, hinges and other metal work an you're close to another €60-70.

Wonder what region the Aliens pcb is, I think the Japanese version is missing the "3D" driving sections, not 100% sure on that though. Actually only had that in the cab yesterday - very amusing watching people play it who've never played it before. Doesn't seem to be a well known game at all. I really must record a 1cc double run through. Love it.

Very cheap boxed Famicom Gameboy Micro going here.

€100 plus a few games for what looks like minty goodness. If I had the money i'd be on it.

Most of the games are fake (lol at Mario 3 especially) but €100 for a Famicom Micro is still good value on its own.

Seeing as I only have €200 for the rest of the month, wouldn't have been financially viable

Your lack of dedication is disappointing. €48 for tesco vodka and noodles is more than enough.
