Would like to get a nice condition Galaga video game for the 'Mrs.'
for Christmas. Anyone have any ideas as where to get one or have one
for sale? I'm located in N.Y.S....don't want to get involved in
shipping though....I'd travel 3-4 hours to pick one up.

Thanks in advance.

BTW...How many OT posts are you allowed? ; )

the multi boards become so cheap.

There's a cocktail on Hartford CL, but it seems kinda pricey to me:

If you buy one with an original pcb, hopefully the sockets have

Thanks for all the REAL help guys(excluding Kim...you baggy dude)
Will follow up on info.

I know nothing about vid games and the workings. A PCB to me is a
pancake breakfast at the local volunteer firehouse!

USC&BP has over a hundred brand new ones that they're going to send to
the crusher. Maybe they will cut a deal. Scroll down once the link
opens.

Hopefully the tiny url above works. It's the first time I ever used
tiny url dot com to compress a 200+ character link.

I built one - great fun. Yes its MAME but I really enjoyed the exercise and
it works like arcade- you wuld not know it was a PC except for the Dell
badge on the monitor!
Took me a couple of weekends-BYOAC forum is your friend.

yes! I agree! Build your own! Ok, so its prolly to late for Christmas,
but why waste space that you could use for more pinball machines,
build a Mame cabinet and have more then just Galaga!

There's one listed on CL in the Milwaukee area. It's a Galaga / Ms.
Pac combo for a decent price...
