Atari_Bill Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 A new bundle of joy was delivered this weekend. DK and Jr. are very proud! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Congrats on completing the ADAM Arcade Cabinet box trifecta. In the late 80's, we couldn't give these things away... well, we did as X-Mas bonuses depending on the size of the order placed. BTW, I recently learned that these Arcade Cabinet boxes were originally planned to be 100% miniature replicas of the actual arcade cabinets. Someone at Coleco, in a cost saving measure, scrapped this plan and went with a universal size and design for each box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I still have fits of anger remembering when the dumb a** lady at Toys R Us tried to give me a Donkey Kong Jr. Super Game when the ticket was clearly marked Donkey Kong Super Game. She had no business working the cage they kept them in and knew nothing about video games. Congrats on completing the ADAM Arcade Cabinet box trifecta.

Gamester81 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 These are so cool and I'd love to get my hands on a set. Nice pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 These are so cool and I'd love to get my hands on a set. Nice pickup! Thanks! I was wondering if I'd ever have another chance to pick up a Zaxxon. I hadn't seen one for quite a while. When I did, I couldn't let the chance pass me by. I've had the other ones for a long time and never even realized there was a third until maybe a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
