There are lots of horror stories about arcaderick, so I would hesitate before buying from them. In adition, their prices don't look that great, taking care of the strong €, and high shipping (unless you live in Germany or the rest of Europe of course). I'd rather buy AW stuff from Japanese and Hong Kong arcade dealers.

I'd like to second what Amano Jacu said, Arcaderick's reputation is a bit iffy to say the least, and his prices ain't that great either - even though I live in central Europe I'd rather buy arcade stuff from Japan, Hong Kong and the USA.

Story, I bought a demolish fist from them for 135 and it never came. I contacted paypal and put negative feedback on their ebay. Paypal returned my money to me and only then did they get back to me and tell me that by accident my order hadn't shipped and they sent me a knights of valor instead (a more valuble cart). So be careful. At best they are lazy, at worst they are shady.

According to the price list on Arcaderick's page it comes with "Link Cartridge & Cable", I guess that's the 4 player extension you're thinking of.

Anyways, it's probably a moot point for you, unless you're an arcade-op or own a business, as he just announced that he won't sell to private customers anymore (message is written in german):

LOL, I guess he read our little thread here ...

That's funny and sad at the same time... why doesn't he just sell at competitive prices? People are weird alot of the time...
