Checking out and most likely buying a Gauntlet Legengs machine + dark legacy upgrade kit this weekend. This will go nicely with my fish tales. I spent so many hours playing that game in arcades. It looks like it's in great shape. 4-player arcade action!

nice.

i have a ki2 cabinet i got for $300 back in like 2001. it's sitting at my moms house in the basement until i buy a house and have room for it (not in my 800sqft condo).

i will probably end up converting it to a mame cabinet when i get a house as well. i have ki1, ki2, mk1, and mk2 pcb's that all plug and play, although i did have to make different kick harnesses for each of the games.

Sweet, the Student Union here has a Gauntlet Legends and I finally got some time in on Fish Tales the other day when I found out one of the local bars had one in. I really want to get a pinball machine. Maybe I'll have enough bread left from the summer to get me a table.

Do it. Fish tales is awesome. Absolutely worth it. I also need to respond to multiple posts in one post instead of 50...sigh.

I'm jealous. I have it on the original xbox, and can't find anywhere to play it at an arcade.

Well, I don't think I'll be able to get a Fish Tales, although I know a guy that has one. The guy I know that has a bunch of tables is probably who I would deal with. He's got a No Good Gophers that I think he's looking to sell along with a Roadshow and he was fixing up a Pinbot but I think the Pinbot needs too much work for me to be interested in it. I think Roadshow would probably cost more than I would be willing to spend at the moment. I probably would be better off going for an earlier table that can be had for under a grand easy. Something like Gorgar or Firepower. Would like to check out a Black Hole machine just to see how it would look in a nice dark black light arcade.

Idk about those earlier tables. They don't have the diamond plate coating. Try to wheel and deal for that gophers!

Yeah, the difference between the diamond plate and the earlier coatings, even mylar, is really big. Still, you can see some fantastic playfields from tables that three to four decades old. For example, this guy has a beautiful playfield on his Gorgar:

Such fantastic artwork on the machine. I absolutely love how much of a narrative they established by the playfield, backglass, and 8 digital words.

EDIT: The real wear that I see on the older tables, other than the heavy traffic spots on the playfield are the drop targets. Those are the ones that I see on a lot of old machines not looking very good in comparison to the rest.

Vintage gaming is cool, takes a nice checkbook and space for the epic ones.

Anyone buying a large game for a craptastic apartment is an idiot. Even a small game in that situation is going to have management throwing you out.

i had one, was going to mame it but decided to dump it. gauntlet legends is a pretty crappy game. my suggestion it to mame that so you can play all sorts of 4 player games. no one gives a crap about gauntlet legends. i'll tell you the 4p money arcade game. nba jam or nba jam TE. now that game holds up. i throw gaming parties a lot and it always gets play. people will get tired quick with gauntlet. nba jam has 2 on 2 action, epic finishes, it's the perfect 4p arcade game.
