Notable quotes
“King Kong is probably one of the best shooting games that came out this year. The theme just doesn't hit on many levels for most people.”
“Ghostbusters (LE) is up 12 from its average... This is one that has been rumored to be remade. Don't know how much truth there is behind that, but it sounds like Stern might bring it back.”
“There's only one or two ways to get into the hobby is either you buy new or you buy broken and fix up. That's how I got my collection.”
“Captain Fantastic... It is currently on Pinside right now in Palm City Beach, Florida for 20 bucks.”
“Haunted House... it is a very unique game that has a bottom playfield, a normal playfield, and then an upper playfield as well. The game usually sells around $3,500. So $750 is quite the steal.”
