Here we go then
The game was located somewhere in this big building in Belgium called "Palais des Expositions" (where all the exhibitions take place) in Charleroi.
Unfortunately the seller forgot our first appointment so I had to go home empty handed :/
It gave me the opportunity to pass by this roundabout known as the "Marsupilami Roundabout" (it's a Belgian cartoon character). It's also the exact place where I failed miserably the very first time I tried to pass my driving licensed
A few days later, I was there again.
This time the seller was there and he told me the machine was located on the back of the "Palais des Expositions" in what used to be the Bowling.
I love that creepy picture
Once inside it's even better!
You can see that the bowling lanes have been taken.
It's a model racing club who used them to make circuits for their little toys.
There's also that nice "shit dripping ceiling" which makes the place look like it's eaten by a giant mushroom.
The machine is in the back near the lavatories, sad and alone.
Once the pinball like legs are removed it fits perfectly in my car, but really this is a heavy machine for it's size.
Bye Bye, creepy place!
On the other side of this huge building there's also that picture which I always hated since I was a kid (you can see it from the highway). For a mysterious reason (because they are cut? because they are clowns?), it has always scared me. But now I'm a real man and I stood up next to it and even took a picture.
Especially this guy hiding behind the puzzle:
A bit further, there's an other clown related place...
As a kid we were always passing by this shop before taking the highway.
I always wanted to to there because it was supposed to be THE place where you could buy all kind of magic tricks and accessories to dress up and make jokes (you know from clown noses to exploding cigarettes, that kind of stuff). The fact that it was weirdly located right before the highway made it a bit mysterious because my parents never took me there… so the place was even more tempting.
Years later when I had a car I went there, and my god, it was very disappointing and tiny and dusty. Some things should definitely be left as fantasies.
But I digress, back home with the game on it's feet and my back half broken.
Why is it always raining when I unload games alone?
The inside.
Except for the power chord it seems complete and "clean".
Here's the price (in Belgian francs) and luckily that's exactly the amount I found inside
I also found these 2 nice ladies inside, very sexy 70's.
Blond or Brown?
Nice game I'm glad it's saved and going to a nice home.
The only thing I'm officially asking is to be the first one to have an option if you ever decide to sell it one day. Deal?
