I won a Burgertime arcade machine on Ebay!!

[MarioAllStar2600]

Well I am a very happy man. I just woin a Near Mint Burgertime arcade. I Don't have to pay for shipping either because my dad owns a store right around tehre so we can get it picked up. :D . I have wanted this Burgertime for awhile and have been looking for a good deal and found one. The pics arent that great and that might be why i got it fonr only $350 bucks!
BTW- To anyone who asks how did I afford it I sold my stocks and made some cash.

If I had the room I'd be scouring the earth for an excellent condition Asteroids. :(

In other news, it has been reported that a young video game collector with a bottmless wallett by the name MarioAllStal2600 is single-handedly responsible for stimuating the economy. Wall street analyists list him as being responsible for raising the DOW index by at least 200 points.

:P - I bought the stocks like two years ago and now I wanted teh machine and decided to sell them after the split two months ago.
Its not that I ahve ian endless pocket its that all my money goes into video games and I manage my money pretty good in my opinion.

One 14 year old gamer is very lucky and rich. Another 14 year old gamer is not so lucky, and never seemse to have cash, even sometimes thinking that he's in the lower-middle class. I'm jealous, man. You're so fortunate. Do me a favor and play the hell out of it, m'kay? Congratulations. :)

[MarioAllStar2600]

SOtenga if you are ever in the area you ahve to come over. You are just soemone I feel as though I NEED to hang out with.

[Sotenga]

Thanks. :)

Long Island isn't that far from PA, but I hate extensive travelling. Still, perhaps we'll collaborate at EGCX if you want to come to PA. That would rule. :D

I actually have a very fond memory of playing Burgertime on the NES. I was four or five years old, and while I was playing it, my TV caught on fire! LOL

Well, it didn't burst into flames, but lots of smoke did come out of it, and it died. True story.

[Oobgarm]

Wow, that's sweet! And $350 is a bargain!

Congrats, make sure to play the tar out of it! :D

[kainemaxwell]

Congrats! Good candiate for Best Ebay Buy of the Year!

[Chunky]

i don't remember seeing the side art before, but that is really nice! congratz.

[tholly]

Burgertime is one of my all time NES favorites. Congratulations on that find. I would love to add a Burgertime machine right next to my 4-Slot. Maybe someday. Have fun with it and make sure you play it everyday.

Hey Mar-

If your dad owns a store you may be able to get that Machine to Pay for it's self.

[Pantechnicon]

Hey Mar-

If your dad owns a store you may be able to get that Machine to Pay for it's self.

Your call, Mario. I've had people ask me to place my original Pac-Man cab in their store or bar whatever. As tempting as it sounds, I have to keep telling myself that if I do I'll be opening myself up to all the routine headaches of an operator. And a Pac-Man cab is almost a sacred trust in this sense, you know?

Anyway, awesome find, man. Burgertime gets a lot of play on my MAME cab. An original machine is shweetness. One of the more original ideas from the early 80's. Congrats.

Not unless he wants initials carved into the side and the marquee and inside frame smashed to hell. Some of the things people do to machines are irrepairable.

[MarioAllStar2600]

No you didnt understand. I live in New York, but my dad has dental stores all over America. Like 8 or something.

im feeling left out of the young collector club :(

[Balloon Fight]

That wouldnt be good, if someone found out they have a cavity, they would smash it to piece. Excellent find, and play forever. 2 cabs in 2 months. @_@
What other cabs do you have on your list?

[MarioAllStar2600]

That is my 3rd Cab. I have a Nintendo Vs., Ms. Pac-man, and Burgertime. I am taking a break from buying games for a little while so I can put a stereo system in my golf cart. SOunds ridiculos but I liek it.

Wow....3 cabs and soon to be a bumpin' golf cart. It's Christmas soon....you can be me a gift if you want...hahaha. But seriously, I am into car audio besides video games...do you plan on putting a sub or two in it or just a head unit and speakers. You can check out my car system at this address:

I would love to see some pictures of the cart when you have it done.

[Ernster]

Looks sweet but the game sucks IMO...

[Dirty Tiger]

Bratwurst was all like saying this:

Very True. I had a momentary lapse of reason and forgot that people suck.

As soon as I posted my lame-ass idea I thought: "His dad prolly' owns some kind of Medical supply store....Really i did.

FWIW that would explain your robust allowance!! More power to ya' though, get it while the gettin' is good

[MarioAllStar2600]

ll post pics of teh cart when teh system's done. Im putting 2 speaakers in teh fron with a nice Deck. Under teh 2nd seater I plan on putting 1 or 2 subs and teh amplifier.

I have to say my rents buy me pricey things, but Video Games are teh one thing I dont let them buy me. Its nice to say I payed fro the whole collection. Im proud of that. Im paying for teh stereo system to

BTW- You car looks sweet dude.

[Flack]

Hey with all that money you could get a custom marquee that says "teh Burgertime." Or not.

Congrats on the cab, at the last auction I was at I saw one go by for $650.

I don't know if you have specific brands in mind, but let me recommend Alpine and Kicker. They are two amazing companies for sound products and you should definitely get more information on them if you can.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Wow!!!!

Nice Machine Congrats...

[MarioAllStar2600]

Slip dont feel left out you can stop by anytime to. If anyoine is in the area they can stop by. I would love to show around teh Video Game room. Play some Burgertime with people.

Offer Not Valid till after Christmas. Then my new and improved game room will be done.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

The time of the burger has dawned! Lucky dog. :D Excellent find!

[mauigamer]

What stock was it that you bought to make the money?

[MarioAllStar2600]

What stock was it that you bought to make the money?

Activision. Looked into it ou of curiousity and intrest. Turn out teh tihng just fell a little but, but was climbing liek crazy. My dad was watching it for a couple of months and it wouldn't stop climbing. I figured it was a pretty good time to buy. They went up and down little bits. Then thye split like 6 months ago.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Activision stock? That's sheer poetry. LOL
