Walked into a local laundry mat to find some treats...
« on: June 24, 2013, 02:14:00 AM »


Final Fight and a Raiden 2. As you can see in the pic, the Raiden is busted, but I bet the board is still working. I so need to find out how to get a hold of the owners. I might be able to snag the Raiden for next to nothing. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that FF as well. =P~

I hope you also took some time to play Time Soldiers.  That will be nice if they are willing to sell them.

Looked around the place, but didn't find any contact numbers which is strange. I guess I'll have to hope for a chance encounter with him/her/them during one of my laundering sessions.

Didn't play any actually. I did take some time to admire them. The FF was the best looking one in there.

The Raiden appeared to be a conversion after examining it. I saw no side at or any other distinguishing marks on the cab other than the marquee. Missing the player 1 joystick. Someone must have yanked pretty hard on that mofo to pull it off.

Time Soldiers looked fairly rough, but not too bad. The monitor was suffering from ghosting and an inch wide strip of the image on the right side was missing (cap problem?). The player 1 rotary joystick was broke. It spun freely instead of having that "ratchet" effect that a working one has and the buttons were removed on that side.

Didnt pay too much attention to the two Ms. Pac-Man cabs they had.

I'd write a letter explaining your appreciation, plus contact details, and slide it under any door they have there.  I'm guessing there must be some kind of office.
