I used to love this game (Dragon) It is so hard!! The Dragon targets all guide the ball down the Middle and you can't catch the ball on the Flippers because, if you roll to far up the inlane, it drops through the opening!!

And yet, So Rewarding!! Knock down the Dragon Target, then the one above it then hit the target at the top of the row, Replay!!, or Extra Ball!!

Huge Risk, Huge Reward!!  

At least that is how I remember it!

Actually, his 'warehouse' reminds me of another 'treasure chest' that used to be in Hawkesbury, Ontario (Between Montreal and Ottawa)...

Everytime I went there (my wife's from Hawkesbury), I always peeked in the Rubenstein toy store on Main street, hoping that one day he would be open as he had LOTS of 'old' and 'collectible' toy stuff...

I was collecting mostly old videogames and systems at that time, so I figured I would find some cool stuff there...

Then a few years later (in 2002), my wife gave me a flyer stating that everything's on sale...I got there and almost 'camped' for 2 days straight, buying for over $600 of goodies.

As I was a 'good customer', they brought me on the second floor and the 'storage' area, inaccessible to the public where there were quite a few video games and puck bowlers (no pins though)...All I remember are the pong games, a few early racing games and rip-off (sp?)

I bought brand new Atari Jaguar consoles, Intellivoice, Intellivision/Vic-20 games, controllers, accessories, you name it!

However, the highlight purchase was TWO Vectrex videogame displays (one complete, the other the bottom only) which, at that time, were EXTREMELY RARE and valuable...until a 'fellow' customs agent litteraly 'destroyed' it pushing some falling boxes at 55 mph when he opened the minivan's door at the border...I was 'crying' while the boys (spacecadet28, tartagliag, and maximebeauvais) were 'laughing' about the incedent...not a pretty site I tell you...

At least I sold both displays for a 'semi-decent' price, which paid off all my purchases (I still have a few items at home)

The bowlers/arcades and the rest of the stuff were later auctionned (I HAD to work, thus I missed the auction) and I remember noticing 'amusement911' picked up most (if not all) the arcades checking out his ebay auctions during the following week.

So the morale of the story is to keep digging....you never know what you can find!
