A rare machine that tried to cash in on the Video game theme. Typical SYS80a design, but this one was way out there with the flipper design. Operators avoided it. I've never seen one in person, but I'd like to play it one day.

If you have his contact details mate could you either contact him and ask if he'd talk to me or pass them on to me in a PM?


I only have two spots left here and trying to find the right titles.

Yeah i'm into that. Have  Street Fighter II and looking for a Space invaders. No interest in the arcardes, but like the way pinball was doing everything they could to fight back, successfully in the end too.

I spoke to Dan, it’s his last one amd he doesn’t want to part with it. If he can remember who he sold his other one to he’ll get back to me.

Ensure everything is in writing and crystal clear with this individual. Caveat Emptor.

Unsure if any of these could help
