That said 4 more things today I picked up at the Louisville Arcade Expo, no big savings due to it being a show with vendors, but goodies still.
Genesis -- Mystic Defender and Phelios in great shape for both ($25 for the pair)
LCD games -- 1943 (Acclaim) and Marble Madness (Tiger) for $10/ea both in good shape w/battery covers
The Gen games are pretty fun, MD I had on my grab list with the other, but wanted it more since celery's daily random attention grabbing post for games and it's a good solid title as is the unique take on Phelios as well with the shooter meeting mythology.
Now the LCD games, both in a way fairly faithful to the source stuff. 1943 is cool, hard though, 6 places to sit on screen horizontally. Up high the 3 are for airplanes, down low the 3 for later stages to pop boats. It's pretty quick, pretty noisy, and has the couple good 1943 jingles to start and on game over. Now the other MM -- oddball, 8way rocker controller to move the marble through the maze and is more like the old wood table marble labyrinth stuff but it's quite fun and challenging, keeps you interested in how it teases you as you play since it actually does ramp up momentum as you hold it.
