A different topic which may not have been asked or raised before.
Would you buy 2 x of the same title to keep in your collection. ? I am not talking about buying 2 x machines to make 1 x good one, i am talking about going out and buying
2 x of the same title in excellent condition and keeping both permanently just because u can ! or buying 2 x excellent container pins, doing them both up to a really nice standard and again, keeping 2 x of them in your collection permanently. I ended up with a few of each because i just couldnt say no when the game was re-offered to me when i was trawling thru machines for sale.
* I purchased 2 x Bugs Bunny Birthday Bash Pinballs - because they are rare and hard to find, and I am a sucker for cartoon characters.
* I purchased 2 x Star Trek Next Generation Widebody's cause I am a huge Star Trek fan.
* I purchased 2 x Data East Star Trek 25th Anniversary pins, again, being a Star Trek nut.
* I purchased 2 x Last Action Hero's - my brother changed his mind so i kept the second one cause it was cheap.
One benefit, of having 2 x of the same title, is it makes trouble shooting easy, it looks good ofcourse if u want to be a bit of a show off, but the best realistic benefit, is u can get a mate over, and play the 2 x machines side by side and sort of have a competition.
Does anyone else have a few of the same game because u somehow ended up with a couple because of some funny circumstance or because u planned it.
I note, a few members have doubles of machines photo'd for their Avatar pictures, Guns n Roses, Circus Voltair etc come to mind.
Any one else a double machine collector ?
