That is a good price. Did you ever try it out?

One time yes.  It’s a lot to setup

Definitely interesting piece of Nintendo history.

I had more room in the game room, it would stay.

Id rather sell here than eBay.  NA and VGS people helped me build my collection… hoping this goes to someone in the community.

Good luck to anyone trying to beat this price

$750 plus shipping takes the whole setup including game

Who wants a Racermate setup?  

Late as well

thanks guys :)

Yes

Taking offers on my complete Racermate setup.

I spent a lot of time years ago piecing this together.  Because of this, I have several backup parts including an extra load generator, handlebar display, and several extra sets of wires.

Racermate carts are pretty easy to find... complete Racermate... not so much

Only selling because I’m out of space.  Great chance to own a very interesting and rare Nintendo piece!

It’s a hipster thing to hate on the Beatles now days. They might not have been the best musicians of their era, but their songwriting still holds up against nearly everyone. Their output in such a small amount of years is pretty crazy, especially since it varies so much sonically from the start to the finish. 

This exactly

Great songwriting, huge catalog, and lots of variety

Aw yeah. I love Talking Heads so much. I'm going to be watching Stop Making Sense in theaters again this weekend. Amazing performance. Their discography is great. More Songs about Building and Food is one of my favorites of there's.

Stop making sense is literally a masterpiece 

Ive been on a Ben Folds and Talking Heads kick lately

Yo Noid!

Domino’s Pizza + Nintendo = Valhalla

Had a decent amount of interest, but no solid offers.  Last chance before I post outside VGS

Rondo of Blood is worth the cost for sure.  I think it is the best Castlevania ever made.  You can find one complete for $150 without the spine if your patient.

I agree.  Rhondo of Blood is definitely one of the best Castlevania games ever made.  Probably in my top 10 favorite games for any system.

PCE Duo-R as several have stated was how I got into turbo.  Can’t go wrong with this and a region mod.

Always amazes me that Lords of Thunder and Rhondo are both running on what is basically a super up 8-bit console.

Super cool set!

Good luck on the last 2

Goldeneye

I thought I was unstoppable when I was 12.... 

now I realize I’m basically a storm trooper in that game

Feel like we all owe a BIG shoutout to the VGS admin and mod team right now for being awesome

The aesthetics are terrific.

One of my favorite items in my collection is the original painting for the Twilight pin backglass.    I should have lifted the mylar sheet before taking the pic, but its the only pic I have handy.

So much awesomeness!

I've heard the pin is solid.

I finished the loose NES - SE cart only set a few years back and decided to go for a full Cart+Manual set of licensed NTSC games.  There’s something really nostalgic for me about pulling out the actual paper manual when you pop in a cart you’ve never played... I’m somewhere between 550-600 manuals currently.  Mostly good condition.  All alphabetized and in 3 ring binders.

That said, my wife and I bought a new house and I would really like to free up some funds to put towards some renovations.  If there is enough interest in the lot as a whole (and the price is right), I’m looking to move these manuals to a new home. 

Im working on a full list now and hope to have it up soon.  Feel free to message me with any questions in the meantime.

My dream home arcade has Banzai Run, Black Knight 2000, Taxi, and Total Nuclear Annihilation. 

Hadn’t heard of Total Nuclear Annihilation... just looked it up.   

Susu and Alucard checking in.  Su is on the stove and that’s Al when we brought home a project PC10

Congrats Dan!

I can’t believe I saw this on VGS before the FB art group...  

This post makes me feel like we don’t need NA anymore

Much of the reason I've been absent from the console-related forums is due to my love of Pinball.  I've spent a lot more time over on Pinside as a result.  

 

I currently only own a Sorcerer machine, but have owned the following over the past few years: 

Party Zone

Lethal Weapon 3

Tales From The Crypt

Fish Tales

Black Rose

Super Mario Bros

World Cup Soccer

Ripley's Believe it or Not

Road Show

Twilight Zone (I've actually owned two different examples)

(Stern) Kiss Pro

Lord of the Rings

Full Throttle

Ghostbusters Limited Edition

Metallica Pro

Spiderman (Owned both a standard and Limited Edition)

The Who Pinball WIzard

Time Machine

Deadpool Premium

 

There's a few things I love about pinball.  First off: The replay value.  You can shoot the same shot 1,000 times in a row, and have the ball bounce 1,000 different ways.  Secondly: My schedule.  I can play a 5-10 minute game between jobs and get a ton of enjoyment out of it.  Thirdly: The cost and size.  When I'm dropping $5,000-$10,000 a game,  I can only buy so many at a time.  Additionally, I can only accommodate so many machines in my game room.  This forces me to constantly rotate the collection.  With NES games, I could compulsively buy prototypes and store hundreds on a single shelf.  Definitely not the case with pinball.  Lastly: Working on them!  I spend WAY more time refurbishing and fixing project machines than actually playing them.  My latest machine, Sorcerer, was purchased as a non-working project.  I tore that bitch apart and she's running better than ever.  I'll sell that game for a small markup, and put it towards the next one once I've had my fill.

Just starting to look into the pinball world and I can definitely see the appeal!

Im in no hurry to sell my NES collection, but I can see having a few pins in the game room getting a lot more use than 677 games on a shelf... especially when trying to balance work and a family.

I guess we will have to make a new forum for both one space and two space users...

I’m team 2 space for the record

Just worked out a deal to pick up a TMNT pinball for the game room!  I’m super excited as this will be my first pin.

I’m curious as to which pins you guys think are the most fun to have at home.

i.e. Fun for guests, easy to jump into, don’t get boring
