    Default This is my Christmas present to me, from me



    50" NFL Blitz '99. The marquee is for the original Blitz, but it's not worth it to me to spend $20 just for it to say '99 as the design of it didn't change much.

    I am very soon going to have a Blitz '99 marquee available. I upgraded to 2000 gold. Anyways, what size does yours need to be? There are 2 sizes I've come across.

    I paid the going rate for Blitz games in general, but shipping from California doubled the price. It was worth it to me though.

    As for the marquee, I'll be upgrading soon

    Is it blasphemy to want to turn that into a MAME cab?

    I was pretty surprised to see several working cabinets of that more modern design sell in the $30 to $50 range at an auction a few weeks ago. If I had the space for something that big I would have been all over one.

    very nice I dig the big screen. My local arcade has one of these. I had it on n64. Great game. My local arcade has two machines for sale but both games are terrible I'm trying to convince them to let me have metal slug 3...

    very cool, I wish I had one. On a 50" how much does that cost to play $1.00.

    oh Btw: Merry Christmas to you.

    Nice score! (pun intended)...I have never actually seen a 50" Blitz before. I have a 2000 gold in a 25" cab, and I always thought that was good enough, but now....I just don't know anymore.

    I haven't messed with the pricing much as it's on free play, but I think it could be set for as low as 25 cents! Merry Christmas to you too!

    50" Blitz games are found at SEGA Gameworks arcades. There's such a place at the Circle Center Mall in downtown Indy which is where I first played it and decided that I would have one someday. I almost got a 25" Blitz/NBA Showtime combo machine here locally, but it would've cost about the same as this...I'm glad I passed, but a 25" machine is nothing to frown at
