The whole schedule (OH, IN, NJ) is at http://www.usamusement.com/calendar.html There are other companies that run on different circuits. I have never looked into the schedules for VA, but I would suspect that you have one or two within a 3 hour drive. I know that people do show up at the USAA auctions from all over the state and beyond. Yep. Gauntlet is another favorite of mine, but I couldn't afford to get very good at it. I was just amazed at the lack of interest in it. The last time I saw one sell, there were three or four and the first ones went for $300-$400; it was the final one that went cheap. All the really interested parties got theirs early. I also think it's an easy game to play to completion, presuming that you have an endless supply of quarters. Picking up goodies gets you health; dropping coins in the machine gives you more health (1000 or 2000, depending on the switches). I have beaten it on my Lynx. It _is_ an excellent cooperative game, even on _that_ platform (yes, I have multiple Lynx consoles (3) *and* multiple copies of Xenophobe (2)). Once you get the finger memory to move, pick up stuff, and throw bombs at the "Festers", it's a pushover. The higher levels get a little tricky with fires to put out (you have to switch between weapon and fire extinguisher) and with yawning chasms (switch out jetpacks and weapons), but it's lots and lots of running search sweeps and killing everything that's green. Such things exist. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com
