December 2018 Pickups - PANIC getting presents ready!!!
Tech13:
got some good trades in the Rocket City.
Been liiking for a working 2nd controller for my 5200 for a long time. So happy I got this.
Been looking for a good deal on this one.
Happy to find a Saturn game that I did not own and that I wanted.

A little late to reply but here is some of the swag my family and I got last week:

So you ended up with 3 of the 1Up Arcades? How do you like them? I haven't seen too many people here talking about them. I posted mine in the January section. I'm pretty happy with it considering how much it was marked down. Are you going to order the deck protectors? I ordered one for mine, but I don't have it yet. If they get any cheaper, I might buy a second one. Specifically the SFII cab because it's the best one to mod due to the extra buttons.
I got a riser with mine as well, but I haven't put it together yet because it's currently the perfect height for my boys without the riser, so I will leave it that way for now.

I like them quite a bit actually and my daughters love them, though the 3 year old seems to die a lot on Pac-Man that doesn't stop her from playing. I haven't gotten any deck protectors yet, I will look into them as to preserve the machines from constant use. I do plan on purchasing the Final Fight/Ghosts n Goblins/1944/Strider machine when it becomes available this Spring. I am considering purchasing the Galaxian/Galaga and Street Fighter II machines, funds are just a little sparse at the moment (Also convincing my wife that getting them is another factor).

The nice thing about Rampage, is that no matter how many times my son dies, he can just respawn and keep going. Basically, it's a play it until you quit, rather than play it until you get a game over.
