Please welcome the latest addition to V's household...

[vespertillio]

(Drum Roll please.....) Ok, not the greatest addition, but yet another game for my wife to nag (I mean remind) me about. I was lucky enough (or not, depending on who you talk to) to pick up a minty Omega Race over the weekend. 8-) This is the stand up version and it's beautiful. (pics to come) It was sold to me unworking, but all it turned out to be was the back panel was not pushing on the operator switch enough. LOL I used to have a cockpit version of this and was never able to get it to work. After 2 1/2 years I finally gave it away to another gentleman; thinking perhaps he might be able to give it life where I couldn't. Well here it is years later and I have come full circle; having yet another Omega Race in my life. LOL I'm hoping to borrow the monitor from it to see if I can get my Asteroids Deluxe up and running. Anyone know campatability issues I may run into? Anway, just thought I'd share the joy. Cheers all.

Congrats! I've always had a soft spot for Omega Race too, there's just something neato about it. I've got the marquee proudly displayed next to my computer, but alas, no machine to go with it. :)

Finding it in super-nice shape like yours is next to impossible, enjoy it, it's a gem!

congrats on your new addition

Hopefully we can work out a time to for me to come see your new addition (along with the rest of your cabs) and visa versa.

We live pretty darn close it's got to happen sooner or later.

On a related note, have you been up to Fossco in Golden yet Vespertillio? He seems to always have classic cabs available, but he typically wants what their worth.

I got my Die Hard Arcade from him for $200 and my MVS for $350. He had a Millipede and a cocktail Crystal Castles last time I was up.

I've seen their auctions many times and you are correct, they do know what their gmaes are worth. One of these days I will have to go out there. What I really need is someone to come out and look at my X's and O's football. I would love to get that up and running again. :)
