The Spoon man hails from adrian Mi.Right by the state line, also only 45 mins from Ann Arbor. I was also going to suggest the great lakes crossing mall as ameeting place

It has a two story arcade and such!

I'm in Rochester too, and I've found tons of stuff

. I'm most likely your "other collector in the area". Last summer I found a Vectrex with 7 games at a garage sale for $15, and the lady made me take home the handful of 2600 carts she had next to it. I sold it all for about $150, thats not a bad little profit there

.

I can't help but find stuff at Dixieland. A few weeks ago I found a complete Night Trap and Final Fight CD, a few weeks before that I found a complete Metroid, Tyson's Punchout, and Castlevania, and a few weeks before that I found a complete 3DO with like 6 games. I guess you just have to have the eyes for it. It's insane how i can see a giant pile of useless shit and then pull a complete Night Trap out of the bottom.

And since all people from MI will probably see this, I've got an arcade cabinet you want badly

. It's taking up way too much space in my tiny room. If you're interested PM me now, a little more than $100 is all i'm looking for, and I'd probably go down on that too

.

-Hitman-

Cabinet alone I assume? monitor, etc. with it?

Oh yeah, Ann Arbor repaired there sticks so I know where I'll possibly be friday ;p

**chrisballer** · 12-03-2002, 06:17 AM

I live in mid-michigan saginaw-baycity area.

**den68** · 12-03-2002, 08:48 AM

DAMN!!! we MI folk have quite a large presence here!

I vote for the Game Works at Great Lakes Crossing, although from now till Christmas that place will be a frickin' zoo.

I've been to Dixieland in Pontiac once. I mostly saw 2600, NES, and Genesis stuff. One guy did have a bunch of 5200 games but I didn't have one at the time.

There's a couple open air flea markets in the Taylor/Romulus area that are open from spring to early fall. Flat Rock Speedway has a HUGE flea twice a year. Everyone there thinks their stuff is gold though. You can find a good deal if you look hard enough.

@ubersaurus: were you talking about Gibralter Trade Center??

**ROBOTRON** · 12-03-2002, 11:23 AM

Hey everyone!

ROBOTRON is from the very bowels of Detroit, MI....Ryan and 8 Mile...home of the infamous M&M rapper named after a bag of candy!

Ubersaurus and ROBOTRON hold down Detroit and Southgate untill the year "2084"!

**CrazyImpmon** · 12-03-2002, 12:03 PM

Oh how many DP forum regulars are *not* from Michigan??? I'm betting about half of the regulars are Michigan.

**Six Switch** · 12-03-2002, 02:39 PM

It is because Michigan is just that good.

**ubersaurus** · 12-03-2002, 02:45 PM

there's like a billion michigan people on atariage too ;p

**Tempest** · 12-03-2002, 02:57 PM

And yet I've never met any of you. We really have to change that.

**den68** · 12-03-2002, 03:24 PM

let's hear em'.

I vote for Gameworks/Great Lakes Crossing, sometime after christmas.

**ROBOTRON** · 12-03-2002, 03:51 PM

I host FNG "Friday Night Gaming" @ my house just about every Friday. A fun group of people who play classic as well as new games.

Maybe if you guys aren't afraid to dome to Detroit (Ryan rd. and 8 mile area near I-75) It would be great to meet cha! Ubersaurus is a regular guest at FNG....just ask him. Great time...great gaming (I have just about every system including Neo-Geo console w/40+ games) and I always order up great pizza! (Happys Pizza Rulez! Just ask Uber)

PEACE!

Oh I know!I have had it a few times,and it is good!

And no I am not afraid to go into the D-Town,I go to school there everyday so it is no biggie for me.

**Tempest** · 12-03-2002, 04:34 PM

I'm not afraid as long as I don't have to drive down dark poorly marked streets. My best friend is in a band that plays in dives all the freaking time so I'm no stranger to the more questionable areas of Detroit.

Yeah, I've seen that stuff but I was strictly looking for stuff for the classic systems(pre-NES) I collect for. There are tables full of NES games last time I was there. I never look through them though. One of the last times I was there I saw a grocery bag full of INTV carts with the INTV corp late release end labels. I had never seen them before and didn't know enough about INTV to know what they were. Once I figured out what they were I went back and they were gone of course. I passed on a bag full of the INTV mail order releases like Diner etc.. >

That hurt. If you're into the NES you may want to check out the pawn shops on Huron, West of Telegraph. I was in there years ago and they had TONS of NES carts piled up, waist high, on one side of a full isles length. They also had stacks of NES systems for $12 each.

**Zaxxon** · 12-03-2002, 05:31 PM

How about Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum as a meeting place? http://marvin3m.com/

31005 Orchard Lake Road
Farmington Hills, MI 48334, U.S.A.
(248) 626-5020

They have several classics as well as pinball and all the new stuff.

**Tempest** · 12-03-2002, 05:47 PM

Marvin's is great place (and not too far from me). I remember when that whole area was Tally Hall and Marvin's was a small little arcade in the middle (he still had those Chuckie Cheese robots though). Good times...

**Six Switch** · 12-03-2002, 06:49 PM

Well if anybody sets anything up,let me know!I will want to come,even if I am younger than all of you it seems...

**Achika** · 12-03-2002, 08:07 PM

It will have to be over the next month or two, since I move to NY mid-to-end of January. After that, I'll be hanging with the NYC crowd.

Look everyone else is copying us...

It's because we rule so damn much that they copy us! May as well have a roll call forum now ;p And I wouldn't look at her hiatus from michigan as an overly bad thing...it means we have a few months to try and catch up to her collection! Until, of course, she comes back with more stuff, but until then!
