Hi,

New member, Patrick.

Went on a buying spree about 10 years ago as have massive love for Atari med resolution games and vector games in dedicated cabs.

ended up with:

Paperboy

Gauntlet

Super Sprint

Marble Madness

Asteroids.

Along with a few others where the game play bit me such as Kung Fu master, Commando,Green Beret and Double Dragon.

Let them all go over the years ( moving house, change in circumstances etc ) until i was left with just Paperboy but i am now on a mission to get back into the collecting scene.

Hi and welcome to the forum, Patrick.

You've owned some very desirable cabs there, and you've come to the right place if you're getting back into collecting!

Such a shame when you have to sell things, always regret selling the machines I've had to let go

Atari stuff is awesome when working, specially the Med Res stuff

I know was a killer at the time but moved house once so i lost my 4 player super sprint and Gauntlet due to the size -Gauntlet was the killer as it was a USA machine with 25c coin slots, also had the Gauntlet II PCB inthe cab with a switch so you could swap between versions, monitor was lovely with no RHS screen burn either.

Lost the rest bit by bit as the new house needed an extention and refurb so space beacame a premium.

Hi, welcome

Just noticed your post about Paperboy and noticed Gauntlet in your picture folder

Then read this post mentioning the games you used to own.. just to let you know your Gauntlet is being looked after! It was me that bought it (via ebay), maybe 6 years or so i thing it was, very nice machine

cheers

Welcome to the forum mate

 

[patloz]

I want it back!!

That was ( and I'm sure still is ) a lovely machine, Twin boards so you could play both I & II

I kept that one till the very very end as it was such a lovely bit of kit, US import as well with original 25c slots.

Came from California, you can tell as the vinyl was peeling off in strips where the heat had battered it.

Just looked at the picture again, it was when the extension was built but needed the interior plastering and the floor fitting, 4 player Gauntlet was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Glad its still in the correct circle of enthusiasts.

Welcome sir!

Patloz?? Hmmm, yeah I brought a bootleg Green beret from you years ago, it must have been over 12 years ago as I've not owned a Jamma cab since!

Enjoy UKVAC mate

 

[patloz]

Ahhhhhh

Something else I wish I didn't sell!!

One of my favourite sideways scrollers, just behind Commando ( obviously an upwards scroller ) and the one and only Kung Fu master.

Small world, you end up selling all your prized possession's then you bump into the people who bought them to rub it in!

Good to hear from you mate.
