That's too bad to hear, but I kind of figured. Have you been to CAX? I heard it was there two years ago...I haven't researched the old list to confirm that. And I think even then it wasn't working. Stern tried some interesting stuff with the game controls / effects....on some games no one has heard of. I had never seen this game until I saw a flyer in May.

Two Face is certainly a larger character in the minds of fans for the role Nolan chose for him. I didn't mind him serving the story if it meant a smaller role, but I really think one of the strong aspects of the character is the long extended relationship with Bruce Wayne, and that was completely left out, which, although I don't know how it would have fit, is still a shame.

Hmmm...well, nothing new you've said here, I guess maybe I need more marathon playing periods, maybe with a drink in hand or something.

Did you have any issues with the painters tape and the edges? Were they completely smooth all the way around? Have your tried this Frog Tape? I am using it on the Ms. Pac-man stencil #2 and it has worked well for me...in the few instances were I've had some bleed under with the blue painters tape. It is obviously more expensive though, so you have to pick the right usage.

I don't....I don't even like traveling three hours in the car, let alone that far. Age old problem of distance with this collecting 'thing'.

It's huge isn't it? Operation Wolf was a cool game, but is this thing huge solely for the control panel to fit the gun? If so...what a waste. I've never played one in person, only on a console system.

Where do you value a Nintendo type kit? I wouldn't think that if its less, it would be much less....

Looks like he did come down in price, but with shipping that NOS Nintendo kit would still be about $300...

This coming from a man who had a truckload of Omega Race's, every kind....I would have expected no less of an answer.

That is right. Those Bally Midway cocktails used a 19" monitor. Ah well. I know someone who can use the 13", and finding a 19" for the cocktail shouldn't be too hard.

$250 is pretty good, about average for today's market. But certainly, if it has even decent artwork, worth it to leave it....it is a ton of work to restore one of these Ms. Pac-mans

Thanks Zach for the compliment.

Pretty amazing that most people I've met react positively to arcade games, and do love the experience of playing at a standup game. But there is that personality difference between, "Hey, those are fun at your house" to "I want to fill my basement with mildewy wood".
