As the Entertainments member of the Mess committee i've just bought a refurbished Time Crisis 2 machine to plonk in the corner of the bar.It arrives tomorrow morning.EDIT: Riddled with spelling mistakes- Actions unbecoming of an Officer. I've detailed a firing squad to take care of this slovenly behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I dread to think how many £ and € coins I have fed into Time Crisis machines over the years. So much fun though. How much does a refurb cabinet cost? I was looking into it a while ago but it seemed excessive. All the good deals on ebay are never near me. Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Haha! Tempting. I think I shall have words with her indoors and see if we really need a guest room or whether we can have a couple of arcade machines. Somehow, I don't think this will fly. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 It was originally bought by a group of engineering students as a project. Sat in one of their Mum's garages for a while - we got it for £350. Supposedly they're worth a few hundred more. Fully functioning, set to free play at the moment but has capacity to charge by the £.Bit of a pig to get up the stairs (it weighs 710kg) but it's there now. Clearly not going to move.

DeltaZero Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 £350 isn't that bad at all really! I think a few of us will be behaving extra well and slowly working in the idea of buying one with the missus! Link to post Share on other sites
