Wouldn't it be great to just stumble upon an absolutely incredible gaming find while out and about? I often think about the person who found a Sega Arcade unit just lying in a field when I'm out on a walk, and I always wish I could be the one to find a really rare copy of a game whenever I'm at a car boot sale at 8 am getting wet soaked by the rain. Well, someone has made the find of the century by uncovering a batch of boxed arcade cabinets that have never even been opened.
X user Gabe Fowlkes posted the news that someone had discovered them and announced the find in one of his Facebook groups. The arcade cabinets are all for the Sega game Fighting Vipers and have never been touched. There are seven cabinets all boxed and still covered; they've never been handled or even powered on!
Holy crap...someone in one of my fb groups uncovered seven completely NOS Sega Fighting Vipers arcade cabinets! Completely untouched, still boxed, monitors never powered on. An incredible find. pic.twitter.com/rOc7Vyc07x

That 'someone' is Tristen McCormick from Memphis, Tennessee, and you can check out the listing here. Tristen even confirms that there is 'no burn on the tubes since these never made it to any game room floor.'
This is an amazing retro gaming find and a great slice of Sega's history. According to the listing, the boards are missing from inside the units and Tristen is asking for $500 per unit (for the monitor and cabinet) or $3,200 for everything. They would undoubtedly make good modding projects or serve as ornaments for the greatest hallway known to humankind!
