TheJediUnit User Posts: 474	*Me so happy boing boing boing...* on Thursday, January, 23, 2003 10:38 AM On Ebay I placed a bid on an upright full sized Tron arcade game!! I think I'm going to wee wee in my pants! It looks in pretty good condition. The side art looks doctored up, but I don't mind since I'll remanufacture my own anyway (like I mentioned in the arcade forum). It's missing the spinner art, same thing. But as long as it's working I can bring the rest up to mint myself. It's local enough to pick up in a long day's drive so delivery ain't a problem. Gawd, I'm so excited I think I'm gonna... gonna... just gleem! "Having is not as pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." --Spock

Compucore User Posts: 4,418	Was tryong to find it on Thursday, January, 23, 2003 11:51 AM Is there a link for it. I was trying to see in Ebay to take a look for it. Just wanted to see out of curiousity to see what it looks like. I went to coin ops to find it. I was finding everything lses except the machine itself. Do you still have the link for it. 2 Legit 2 quit End of line Compucore VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.
TriggerEXE User Posts: 339	Yay! on Thursday, January, 23, 2003 1:49 PM Congrats JediUnit! Best of luck in the auction! You will keep us posted won't you? We want to see pics when you get it and fix it all up! ^_^ I still haven't heard back from that arcade owner guy about my Tron inquery. If I ever get the money, I'll seriously search for one too.

Sketch Sector Admin Posts: 2,927	oooooooooooh on Thursday, January, 23, 2003 4:11 PM Very nice. Wish I could afford one. Good luck program. Keep us informed if you win. My Flickr
TheJediUnit User Posts: 474	No Title on Thursday, January, 23, 2003 8:37 PM I can't afford it either! I don't have the money or space for it. But some things you just make happen, not because they make sense but specificly because they don't and you just plain like it that way. 20 hours left!!!

TriggerEXE User Posts: 339	lol on Friday, January, 24, 2003 5:02 PM Changing his own Pampers. Sniffle I'm so proud! Getting a little excited are we? I know I get that way sometimes when I'm bidding on something. Wonders just how high the arcade machine bid is now Hmm... Don't get too crazy now. ^_^ It's one thing to win an auction, but it's quite another having to pay for it. Eheh, I know this all too well. ¬_¬ "The dark can embrace the light, but never eclipse it."

TheJediUnit User Posts: 474	No Title on Friday, January, 24, 2003 11:11 PM Yea baby! Just sent the dude his moolah. I don't know when I can get around to picking it up. It's about a 6 hour drive from here, but that's great compared to shipping it. Trouble is I take care of our baby girl on weekends when my wife works so I'll have to cook something up to get there. Either I'll have to miss a day's work or take my girl with me (ugh, that's stink for both of us) or have a friend of mine watch her when I go, but she's gone the next two weekends. I'll work something out. Wierd thing, my neighbors actually are from Borger where I'm going to get it, and actually KNEW the guy selling it too! Small world. I wish we could get together to go get it, but schedules aren't lining up good enough. I'm going to lovingly restore that baby to as mint as I can manage. That thing doesn't know what rejuvination and pampering it has in store for it, but it's gonna get it for sure! I cannot believe, after 20 years and a vow when I was 12 is finally coming to be. Wild.
