Popeye, take 2
Donkey Kong August 28th, 2007I was goofing off in the afternoon yesterday instead of working (shocking, I know!). I found a Popeye on Craigslist and ended up getting it. For those that haven’t been reading every single day, I already have a Popeye. I plan on turning this one into a Donkey Kong sometime before December 21st, 2012. 
I think I’ll be putting the Popeye parts on eBay (Marquee, Bezel, CPO, and PCB) at some point in the future. If you are interested in buying them off of me please let me know.
My neighbors must think I’m crazy by now. In order to make room for this in the garage, I had to bring Defender inside the house. To get at it, I had to bring Pac-Man out into the driveway. Defender needed leg levers, so I had it lying on its back in the driveway along with Pac-Man and Popeye.
The only spot I had left for a game inside is now taken, blocking my only exit in the basement!
I had to decide which one I wanted more…a door, or a Defender - and Defender won hands down.

man, look how incredible your gameroom looks, and to think, just a short while ago all you had was the reunion cab, claw game, and pinball machine.
What game gets most of your attention now? Does your wife still support your habit? When will you be finishing up your pac-man

Thanks!
Yeah, it does seem crazy how fast its grown. While I started with the Ms.Pac/Galaga a couple years ago, my collecting didn’t start until I got that crane. That will be a year ago in October.
As far as most attention, I go through phases. I’d have to say the Simpsons pinball, but I play Galaga and Centipede a lot. My wife is still into it, which is good for me. If she wasn’t I’d be sleeping in the Garage.
