I found this online today. Really cheap, and also really tempting. Sorry the picture is sideways, but I didn't post it so this is what you get. I'll post the full link here too.

wow...you guys are both awesome. I think I might pick this game up, if I can somehow convince some able bodied people to carry it for me. lol...I have a bad back, I'd die if I tried moving it.

Rep to the both of you.
 
Wow, that thing looks awesome! And the price looks cheap too.... but don't forget to factor in the cost of recovering it in Tournament Blue Simonis. :thumbup:

Looks to be pretty rare too so it could possibly go up in vaule and for 140$ if you use it for nothing more than decoration in your pool room it's probably worth every pennie.
 
Easy way

Unless you just want the big cabinet ?You can get the rom
online from some where .I think rom burners . com used to have
it .If you cant find it let me know and I think I may have it somewhere
I have about 7000 so it will take some time .After you get the
rom you can use a program called MAME emulator to run it and
play it on the pc.I know ,I know thats the one with the cue
ball ....missed that at 1st of course there are a few other
good roms out there from pool games back in the 80s and early
90's

Look closely at the pic Matt... it's not your average arcade game :)

You won't get the full experience emulating it. It's got an actual little clothed pool table (made of cut down slate) with rails in front of it, and you hit a miniature cue ball... infrared beams track where you send the CB and that determines if you sunk the game balls on the screen or not. Even if they found a workaround for all that in mame, it just wouldn't be the same.

Definitely go for it Milwshooter, this is a cool concept and pretty rare.
 
This time I asked the guy about it BEFORE I posted it on here. Someone else had already put some cash down, but not much so he isn't holding it any later than Saturday. If I get it, you can be sure I'll post some pictures of the kids playing with it on here. I don't think I'll be able to leave the forum long enough to play it myself... Maybe a few times...
