Flack, I would have expected better jokes from you, like "If it's not a Frogger, it's a run down knock off."
Evil cannot create anything new
They can only corrupt and ruin
What good forces have invented or made.

Vark, for some reason you have five (5) accounts on my Discord server. I assume you would like zero, so let me know what ya wanna do.

You now have zero. I consider the matter resolved, thank you.

Face it, I just don't get on Discord. Tried it for a while and it's just not for me.

You tried it at least five times, apparently.

The only person that could justify buying this would be an arcade/barcade owner at this price. Once you manage to memorize all the moves and beat the game, you will never touch it again!

It's a true, rare collectible. If I made double my salary or something, I'd be in the mix on it. There's no denying Space Ace or Dragon's Lair just take over the room when running.

I would like a Tron but Discs of Tron even more. I’d give 1000-1200 these days for either if “working but minor issues/needs a monitor”

PP is PP. Better to pay 300-500 for a standup. These things have some mechanical issues that can get pricy.

There is a Kosmik Krooz'r for sale locally. I won't go into the drama behind it.

In 2013, a guy put a "ridiculous" number of $3500 for his at CAX, as I detailed here: https://www.caltrops.com/2013/07/19/cal ... reme-2013/

The ask for the one on denver CL is $15,000. I don't think he'll get it, but it's crazy to see the price increases at least for asking prices.

Argh. Decent looking Missile Command for $1350 . 28 miles from me. Need to sell something to get the money and the space for it, so I dunno. :/

(link to a Missile Command on craigslist.)

It was NOT 28 miles from me, it was 50. Freaking Waze. Anyway, that Missile Command is now mine!

I am selling my Mr. Do! project. Giving up on that one.

Mortal Kombat 2 listed for $1800. I really want it but I do not have the money or the space. I should make a list of games that I ultimately want and who gets out so I can move games & money around when something like that gets listed. I'm definitely leaning towards "games I'd actually play" and that post by Pinback made very clear what is a "play game" and what is a museum piece.
