Looks fantastic, but too much money for me unfortunately. By the way, buttons on an actual pinball machine would be a couple of inches farther forward, I think, (so you could rest your palms on the corners, for shakability and tilting).

In Topic: Rare Vectrex price check

If I had that complete a collection, I sure wouldn't sell it, at least not until I'd played the HECK out of it. Realize that you have in your hands something you may never have again, once it's gone. The Vectrex, being so vintage and unique, makes a great center piece to a video game collection, plus you have a personal story to go with it. And if any system deserves a kiosk, it's the Vectrex.

I also wouldn't estimate the 3D imager value over $500, but I guess it's possible CIB. I saw one a year or so ago for $100 (used but functional, not in box, didn't buy it).

In Topic: Security Bits for Your Consoles?

The Pro's Kit 30 in 1 Video Game Screwdriver Set (SD-9313) is what you should be looking for. I got one and it is clearly worth the $30 I paid for it.

I got that, and it does have the two essential game bits, and three tri-wing bits, but I found it doesn't fit when the screw is recessed (like on the Virtual Boy) because the extender sleeve that holds the bits is too big. I haven't found a use for anything else it contains, and my regular tri-wing screwdriver fits in the recessed areas also. If I had it to do over, I'd just buy the two game bits and a tri-wing screwdriver for less than half the price.

I wonder if Kaboom! has been played somewhere in the world continuously since it was originally popular?

In Topic: Anybody headed to CCAG this year?

Maybe. It'd be fun. I've been a couple of times and had a ball, but it's big bucks for me, hotel and all that, plus no work, no income. Probably won't know until I get there.
