    Default Time Killers for $49.99

    I saw an ad in my local classified fore someone selling a Time Killers arcade machine for $50. I've never played or seen this game, but the extrememly cheap price interests me, and since it the next town over and I have a truck and a lift, transporting would not be an issue. Assuming that it's working and in decent shape, is this game worth the price?

    That's like a joke, right?? Seriously, an arcade game for $50 is a deal regardless, but Time Killers is an atrocity. Grab MAME and play it, then make the choice.

    Although the game probably sucks, I'd say that any working arcade game is worth $50, especially if transportation is not an issue.

    Heh heh. I could only imagine the reaction I would get if I brought home a Time Killers machine.

    Get it, then sell it on ebay to buy a better game, or MAME it up!

    Time Killers is a horrible, atrocity of a game. It's the fighting game that tried to out-do Mortal Kombat with violence, but only succeeded at making a big pile of crap.

    Still, you should buy it immediately. A) it's a JAMMA cab, so you can easily swap out any other JAMMA game in 2 seconds, and B) it's 50 bucks.

    And if you want to, you could always sell the Time Killers PCB. I'd hang onto TK though. Even though it sucks, it's still worth hanging on to for a laugh.

    i put alot of quarters in this one when i was in school at a nerby 7-11. I had alot of fun with it the game, The mame version of this i played does not seem like the actual game.....maybe it was just the pc i played it on. But i remember it being fun you cut off limbs and stuff has cool finishing moves also. It is kinda funny fighting a one leg one arm guy. reminds me of monty python

    I've paid more for shittier games. I'd buy it immediately. As AA said, you can throw any other JAMMA game in there in seconds, or if you want to MAME it, you've got a working monitor and CP already. Ask people who have built their own MAME machines, the buttons and joysticks alone often cost more than the price of that cabinet.

    Yeah, if you don't want it, send me the guys contact info and I'll go pick it up. The PCB is probably worth $50 working.
    These Reproductions available with custom labels for $30 via PM with free shipping for DP members: Mazy Match, Cola Invaders (the one I released/made), Meltdown (2600), Kabobber, Stone Age (NTSC), A Misterious Thief (NTSC).

    The game was fun back in the day. And for 50 dollars can you really go wrong ? :P

    Terrible game, but it's worth picking up at that price. The genesis game is really hard to find as well but I happened to find two mint copies for 3 a peice. But it's soooo terrible.
