Two New Classics Arrive to the Arcade.
Tagged Under : Asteroids, Atari, Donkey Kong Jr., Exidy, Mouse Trap, Nintendo
Many months ago Rich Sain (mxracer47 from KLOV) from Illinois listed some classics for sale including Exidy Mouse Trap, which was on my short list of games I’d like to have someday. Being that Richard was looking for a restored or a mint original DK Jr. and I was thinking of selling mine I figured I’d contact him.
Well, we never came up with a trade we could agree on (and I was getting cold feet letting my DK Jr. go) so the trade never happened.
Then in December, out of nowhere Rich contacted me again and offered up both the Exidy Mouse Trap and the Atari Asteroids he was also selling for my restored Donkey Kong Jr.
After a few phone calls back and forth with Rich the games arrived at my house in Michigan with both games!!! Rich was a great collector to deal with and hope we can do another trade sooner or later.
Stay tuned for more info on each of the games!
