Get Up, Stand Up
I got to play Tron last night. The old Tron arcade stand-up video game is one of my favorite arcade games of all time (the original Star Wars game is probably number one) and so it's always great when I find the machine somewhere. Sadly, the one I found, which used to be elsewhere in Huntsville and whose new location I discovered only last night, has been sold, so soon it won't be there anymore. Here's the other sad thing, though: despite my love for the game, I'm not any good at it, never have been, and never will be. I think one time I might have made it to the third board, though for the life of me, I don't remember how. Oh well.
This place also had a Q-bert machine for sale as well. Neither one of us is a huge Q-bert fan, though Nicole used to be a pretty serious Q-bert Atari player back in the day. Nonetheless, at the price they've got it at (cheap, even at more than what you would pay for any console on the market), it's darned tempting just to own an arcade stand-up. I mean, who hasn't wanted their own arcade machine? Ironically, that's one that's been a dream of Nicole's even more than mine. Visitors would be awed by our sheer coolness (we'd turn the A/C way up, too).
So, I need advice... what would it be worth to own a Q-bert arcade machine?
