I've always wanted a fullsize machine, i just never had anywhere to put it.

Hey Rip, If you ever move would you hook up a car battery to it to keep the high score like George Costanza? :D

Joust was one of my favorites, I can still hear the screaching pterodactyl or whatever it was, but DK was first.

oooooooooh Phruby i loved Kangaroo - that is an impressive score!

Glassman, i might actually have to do that if we ever move  :P
the pterodactyl is tough, but there is a little trick to defeat him known only to Joust Masters lol ;)

my hubby & i found Joust at an outdoor flea market for $50 and all that was wrong with it was some dead RAM chips and a chewed up power cord. we bought a new overlay for it since the old one had a cigarette burn in it, but other than that it seemed to have barely been played so there was no way i could resist buying it!

here are some screen shots of it & my high score, which is 218,000, and yes my real name is keri  :) i thought it was 225,000 but that is still pretty good i think  ;D  my hubby joe managed to get 174,000 not too shabby  :)

It's times like this I lament the fact that Darth Ripley is married.  >:(

You're a lucky man, Joe.  ;)

We have a Joust machine at my office. Some guy ordered it ages ago and never picked it up, so now we occasionally turn that baby on and have a go at the pterodactyl.

If I could own any stand-up machine, my top three would probably be Donkey Kong, Joust and Galaga, not necessarily in that order.

Playstation had a Classic Video game Disc with this on it. I have it.  I 'm gonna have to break it out tomorrow( supposed to rain most of the day)
You can probably rent it and lose a weekend trying to master it.

The conntroller button isnt the same thing as "Slapping" that button to flap your Birds wings. :(
BUt it's still fun.

Believe it or not Ryan, there was life on this planet before you were born. ;)

Ripley, $50 for Joust is not bad. I also got my Kangaroo machine for $50 at a thirty store. The machine was in mint condiition and came with the original instructions and ciricuit schematics. The thirft store though it was miss priced but let me have it anyway. Guys, it pays to hit your local thirft stores. You never know what you will find!




I would kill for a Empire Strikes Back arcade machine or a sitdown Star Wars arcade machine.

Is that made from aquarium scenery? Pretty cool. Love the landing pad up top and the little rope bridge down toward the bottom.

And the Brits say we in the west have no history.  ;)

Phruby: "I've restored this video game cabinet to the way it looked more than 20 years ago."

Ryan: "NO! Surely not! No one was alive then!"

aww shucks DD you got me blushing, you're too sweet  :-*

yeah, $50 is a really good price actually Phruby. joe and i went to a live arcade auction and people were paying over $500 for just about every machine there, and in some cases over the $1000 mark for a Defender II machine that wasn't working 100% - was giving the old rug pattern, meaning a ROM chip error. they had about 6 Galaga machines there but each went for around $700-800...i wanted one too DD. i'll just keep hitting the flea markets & thrift shops & hopefully get lucky  ;D

i also would kill for a cockpit Atari Star Wars & someday when i have the room & cash i am dying for a 1992 Data East Star Wars Pinball machine.  ;D

*** back on topic ***
i love the lego stuff, i wish i had more but it can get really expensive really fast.  that Leia shopkeeper has a weird neck thing going on there...can't put my finger on it but it creeps me out  :-[

LOL... Eddie Izzard is the man. Funniest comedian I've ever seen. I can't wait for him to tour again, I've been to his show in NYC the last four times he was here.
