In case you've been living under a rock for the past two weeks, pop music legend, Michael Jackson, has passed away. One thing the Thriller superstar was known for was his giant Neverland Ranch, which was foreclosed and auctioned off last year. As part of the auctions, the arcade in Neverland Ranch was sold. The Orange County Pinball Lab website got a look inside and took several panoramic shots of the arcade. Check it out here: http://www.pinsane.com/pi.../events/MJ_09/index.shtml. Or if you prefer, you can view the arcade's contents in the auction catalogue here: http://www.juliensauction...el-jackson/icatalog4.html
Some of the highlights (for me) include:
Giant Lego Darth Vader
Darkstalkers arcade machine
Super Street Fighter II
Sega R360 (That thing looks freaking awesome)
NBA Hangtime (LOVED that game as a kid)
Galaxy Force (I remember playing that game in the arcade as a kid and how awesome it was that it spun and tilted)
Several kiosks including N64, 3DO, PS1, Virtual Boy, Saturn, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast,
Mocap Boxing (It's like Project Natal!)
Guitar Freaks
Dig Dug
Donkey Kong
Neo Geo MVS
Marvel Vs Capcom
Quite the collection I must say. I don't know if he was a gamer, but I'm sure a lot of guests were. Creepy, no?
