Missile Command cockpit #162

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

It was a long driving weekend, but I'm happy with the outcome:

lot's of driving, cost: tired
little sleep: cost: even more tired
getting your favorite game:

cost: priceless!

All working, inaugural game score: 147K (man, I'm out of playing shape!)

Serial #162, so maybe they did make more than 100 of them? Or probably
serial numbers are not consecutive.

It's not the fastest server, but I'll be loading more pics in a day or so.

And a good one. The garage is in pretty bad shape (in several places
besides what's shown in the pic. But it doesn't leak (yet). I am planning
(hoping?) to get a new one with this hobby in mind (taller so easier to move
games in and out) before next winter.

Its when you start having birds living in your soffits due to the giant
holes is when you need to start worrying about it! Had the same thing in my
old house with garage, started falling apart as well!

No, just this one game. Nice game ID's on the other two games. It is a
Q*bert, but how can you tell that from the back of the game? I can see
figuring out it's a Gottlieb, but did you just guess a Q*bert? And how
about the game through the window of the cockpit, you missed that one!
(It's an easy one).

The one in the window is a Gravitar.

I recognized the Q*bert style cab from the grille on the top. Figgered
Q*bert is the most common of the lot, and you would have corrected me
otherwise.

It's the coward who calls himself MARKSLIME again.The one who won't reveal
his real identity because he's just plain scared.I dare you to say who you
really are.Instead of trying to make everyone think you are me.Your PUSSY
man.I can smell it on you.

Mark, sorry your mistaken. You wanted $3500, I talked you down to $3000
on the phone and when I got there, we plugged it in and the monitor
worked but was screwy. I was going to pass and we decided on $2500 and
yes it was a factor because you were afraid I was going to leave. I am
not going to rehash it but that is exactly how it went down and then
the monitor fried the next day anyway. I have never left anything out
or tried to change any of the facts.

Plus I have not updated my cockpit page since 2001 but whatever. I have
never bashed you so let's just end this now.

Later,
Derek

going.Half of what was said was by him and not me.Ahhhh.Who cares.
