Treasure (Hoard)

Like many gamers of a certain vintage, I have dreamed a dream: one of arcade machine ownership.

The dream is over. I am awake.

After long months of searching and a few scary encounters with weirdos, Craigslist at last brought me this.

I own it, and it works. It works. I kept a lid on this for weeks, because there was some kind of glitch that prevented her from running at switch-on every time.

After a bit of twiddling with the wires in the back, the problem is gone.

Now, I like NBA Jam well enough, but really, there are better uses for A MIDWAY CABINET with A MIDWAY CHIPSET. *This is a baseball-bat-to-the-forehead HINT.*

I have such plans, oh yes.

Same year, same company, same soundboard as Mortal Kombat. (MKII's DCS, by a different company; can't have everything I want for Christmas.) DUDE WHO CARES IT'S THE SAME BOARD AS THE ORIGINAL and it is pristine. (I'm so excited I'm shaking. Yes, for real.)

And, in the meantime? Perfectly working basketball game. It's really fun! You can be people like Patrick Ewing and Scottie Pippen! (My age, it shows. XD)

FOR THREE POINTS...AND...IT'S GOOD! ^_^
