Dude, I did´nt see a dedicated Food Fight but a conversion.

I see an Atari Ireland Food Fight (plus extra buttons)

Is this an Irland-one, did´nt know that. OK, than it counts of course.

Facking hell you hit the mother lode! That must have been one hell of a buzz! Congrats to all involved. I can't believe that lot would have been skipped.

The right time on the right place makes something like that possible.
This is going to be a legend, one day we will look back on that thread, lay our palms in our face and say:

After so many years this is still unbelieveable...

The cab with Carmageddon on it is actually http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8674
So someone has nabbed a rather tasty prototype Atari cab

Amazing. Speechless.

 

[Anthony Graham]

Aaargh I know where this is/was! I have been there a lot.....! Hell at one point I worked there! If only I had known what was lurking.

Excellent save though, much respect to all involved.

I would love to come and film one of these raids taking place one day.

No raid covers everything. I had almost something from everything in my raid but also not a single Nintendo-product.
I dont know how popular they was back in the 80´s in Europe.

Atari´s most of the time did´nt require an import from the US due to the Atari plant in Tipperary, what I know from the Godfather also SEGA´s were produced there, the fullsize Hang-On for example. When I pick mine I will look if it is one of them.

If Nintendo did´nt have a european plant, this could be one reason why we dont see Nintendos often in Europe.

I saw a YouTube-Video with my guy Victor Marland and another guy. They said that there were no genuine DK´s in UK and I think UK is and especially was a kind of a european capitol.

If they did´nt have them, the rest of Europe got bad chances having had them.
