My First Arcade Game Is On Its Way Out...

Many other collectors in the hobby have told me that eventually you have to make tough decisions about games that don't get played, even if it's a game you personally love.  Karate Champ is one of those games.  I play it, but that's about it.  I recently moved Karate Champ out of the game room and back into the garage to put Mario Bros. in its place.  I put it up for sale on the KLOV forums and got a buyer almost immediately.  Arrangements have been made and the buyer will be picking up the game tomorrow.  Although I am happy that I was able to sell it so quickly, I am also a bit sad to see it go.  Nostalgia runs deep with this one.  It was a favorite of mine that I vividly remember playing back in the day at the local arcades.  It was also the first game I purchased as a collector 4 years ago.  But, as other the collectors mentioned, a tough decision had to be made.  I'm sure I'll have a Karate Champ again down the road, but for now it has to be replaced.  So long, old friend- you will be missed.
