Title: Good Day, eh from Winnipeg, Canada Post by: Netropolis on November 22, 2014, 05:16:32 pm So it all started with wanting the same pinball game since the mid 1990's I have never seen it for sale and shelling out $2000 for any OTHER pin wouldn't work for me.
I still haven't got the pinball game (Balley's World Cup '94 if you were wondering). I eventually found MAME, and thought I should put this in a cabinet - as I started to research the idea, I found out about 60 in 1's and JAMMA and before I knew it I was looking for an old cabinet. My FIRST machine was SUPPOSED to be me gutting it. It was an obscure game from 1987 called Solar Warrior (Xain'd Sleena - Japan) it was in a Donkey Kong Jr cabinet. I got a good deal and ended up getting it all going eventually... My 61 in 1 card sat on my desk waiting... Then I got a great deal on an Asteroids Cabinet! It is in MINT condition Probably spent less than 6 months in an arcade and has been in a private collection ever since! Turns out I bought it on Asteroids 35 birthday! Irony! Pew Pew Pew! Today I bought Atari's Tetris in a Dynamo cabinet... Very clean and the guy practically gave it to me... All this is Johns Arcades' fault! All I wanted was an empty cabinet so I could throw in a 60 in 1 and an old LCD and voila! Then I subscribed to his channel... Now I have to think about what to watch - Walking Dead OR Journey Restore #46?? John in Hong Kong or Sons of Anarchy? At least I have a wife who is supportive of this back breaking collection I started. Anyway, Hi Everyone!

WCS '94 shouldn't be too hard to find. They typically sell for $1,500 - $2,000. I passed on two of them in the past two months. I too want the game but just can't swing it righ tnow.

I can handle that!
One day though... In the mean time, if I see World Cup 94 in one of your videos... We are going to have to arrange for a "John's Arcade (Fan) on the Road!!" because I will want to come and play it! |
