Probably my Flash Gordon, i will never find another that nice but i needed the money and space at the time.

BSD and CFTBL are the 2 others i would have kept if i had the money and space, but they were both sacrificed to upgrade my lineup so it is all good. Sold Creech to get my TZ and i'm a happy man.

Other than that, i dont miss them... and i'm now a strong believer that you get bored of any machine (even TZ will be boring eventually). So i am trying to cycle them when i'm bored and try as much as i can for a short/long while depending on the titles.


Currently owning:
- Solar Fire, Medusa, Flash Gordon, (Centaur), No Fear

No Good Gofers and Dr. Dude.

To be honest I miss every machine that goes out of here, that's why I have filled as much space as I can since I hate to see any of them go.

My first Johnny M. Wish I hadn't sold that one to this day.

The story...

I took two games to make one. One didn't work when the op got brand new, so it got put to a corner of the shop. "We'll get to it", was the theory. Years go by and it's still in the corner, but now boards are missing, wires are cut, etc. But the cabinet and playfield!!! The cabinet was absolutely mint with no fade -- very, very hard to find. Playfield was awesome with no wear (or course), no chipped plastics, ramps looked NOS, etc. Ironically, in the end, I took the complete playfield from the other game and the boards and put them into the mint cabinet. That playfield was also mint, same w/ the plastics and ramps, but the cab was thrashed...go figure.

In the end, I had a Johnny M. that looked NOS. I had a bit more into it than I was comfortable...at the time... and like sold it for what I had into it although I kept the extra goodies from the other game: mint playfield (with cut wires), all parts intact, a couple of boards including WPC Security and a crap cab (I mean CRAP cab, really, really beat). Keep meaning to make it functional one of these days. Will happen eventually.

I know I will never, ever find a Johnny M. in the same condition and I guess that's what bothers me. The game rocks.   I really should have held onto it.

Well, I can't say Flash Gordon as I have bought it back, but I REALLY miss by Stern Big Game project. I would buy it back, or another one for that matter, in a heartbeat.

Still feel a twinge for my old TFTC as well. Other than that, I never look back.

Tales of the Arabian Nights - just needed the money so badly (lost so much on the sale due to the fact that I overpaid it for its condition since I was so in a rush to own one).

Flash Gordon (the same one that went to Azatotht and then to Scribec and then to Mrhide and then ?)

But I have come to realize a lot about which machines are worth having/playing and which are just hype....
It is nice to cycle through a number of Pins to see what it is that REALLY attracts you to certain ones....


Vids: Crystal Castles, Gauntlet/Gauntlet II, Donkey Kong Jr., Ms. Pac-Man, Vs. Super Mario Bros. (other Vids in storage - for now)
Pins: White Water [WH2O]

This year I ended up buying and selling a bunch of games, ultimately I would have liked to keep all of them given the titles.  Unfortunately my bankroll is not that large so....

I would say the Rollergames that I owned would be the number one game I miss, as it was in very nice condition all the way around and had a diamondplate playfield.  But as the story goes, some have to go in order to obtain others.   The only other game I would have liked to keep would have been TSPP, but that needed to go so I could keep the HUO CV and super nice TZ.

I miss most of the pins I sold, especially DM, WCS-94, NBAFB and NF, they are all great pins. Except for Junkyard, never had a pin rub me the wrong way like that pin, could not stand the sound track.  Maybe this should be a topic for a new thread, which pin could you not get out the door fast enough?


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

I regret selling Centigrade 37 (a nice EM), and oddly enough, Shaq Attack (family loved it).

I regretted selling my first TZ.  But I managed to find another one a short time later.  So no more regrets.

Been lucky and have never had to sell anything yet, so no regrets.  Now if this is a 'The one that got away' thread that would be a different story.

I'm starting to miss my T2 but I don't wish I didn't sell it.  

Sold T2 bought Dr. Who, sold Dr. who bought Haunted House, don't think I'll be selling HH anytime soon, I really like that one.
