I just picked up a pile of Megatouch arcade countertop games. A few RX models, an Aurora and a couple EVOs. All of them need work. Time to get to it! This will be fun.

Lyrics:
Dashing to the game,
With cash in my hand
On Craigslist I found,
A Food Fight for a grand
Ninety miles unfold,
Driving the speed of light,
Just to find my grail is sold,
I’m the ninth buyer tonight,
Oh, hopes were up, but it’s a bust
No new game to play,
There’s no use in dwelling on,
The one that got away
The market’s dry, and still I try,
But the story stays the same
Oh what fun it is to collect,
Vintage arcade games
A month or two ago,
On OfferUp I spied,
A photo of a working game
The seller wouldn’t lie;
Three hours to his house
To find it doesn’t power on,
Smells like pee of a mouse
And the monitor is gone
Oh, hopes were up, but it’s a bust
No new game to play,
There’s no use in dwelling on,
The waste of time that day;
The market’s dry, new apps I try
But the story stays the same
Oh what fun it is to collect,
Vintage arcade games
A week or two ago
On Facebook I did find
A fair price on a Pengo,
Struck a deal, it was mine.
In a twist to this tale,
Got a message sad to see,
Cancellation of the sale,
A better offer he received.
Oh, hopes were up, but it’s a bust,
No new game to play!
There’s no use in telling him
It’s Facebook not eBay!
The market’s dry, I want to cry,
‘cause the story stays the same
Oh what fun it is to collect,
Vintage arcade games.
Now the ground is white
There’ve been no new games this year
A Christmas party tonight
With good friends I’ll share some cheer
But once inside I see,
It’s the game that got away
He’s held onto it just for me,
Asking only what he paid!
Oh hopes were low, but now I know
Got a new game to play
All along, I should have known
Good friends will save the day
The market’s dry, but we still try,
All collectors feel the same!
Oh what fun it is to collect
Vintage arcade games!")
