Super Dungeon Explore is pretty much a Gauntlet-stype video game complete with spawn points, and bonuses.

Frag is one example. There's a Video Game Theme category on Board Game Geek: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamecategory/1101/video-game-theme

The Battle at Kemble's Cascade does exactly that. The mechanic is that of the scrolling space shooter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHhPRtwSC7 g

^ riiiight that's a great example as well. There's a lot of RPG-ish ones like Boss Monster, etc. There's also some that do sidescrolling platformers...

And Krosmaster Arena has a similar mechanic to Final Fantasy Tactics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQeWyAVwPEE

Whacky Wit is an AMAZING port of PacMan!

Tooting my own horn for a sec: I translated Whack-A-Mole into a boardgame ( http://www.invisible-city.com/play/404/ ) I know it's not a video game, but it has very similar play style/feel and (since Whack-A-Mole is so simple), it's a good example of taking a core real-time mechanic and implementing it in a board game.

Alan Shelton, cars more than 15 years old must have their brakes inspected by a licensed garage in addition to the regular inspection.
Avishai F. replied:
Shaiel Yitzchak, point taken, but I talk in Hebrew anyway:). As the buyer, I'm fine paying the mechanic. I want him/her to be loyal to me and give me true information, I don't want there to be an incentive to omit issues.

Josh H. replied:
Generally the part about Citroen cars that is difficult for mechanics not familiar with the brand are the gas-filled suspension spheres ("bomba" in Hebrew) that are in place of shock absorbers on other brands of cars. The Hadera mechanic is called מוסך השלושה, 04-633-2650. Though I'm sure there is someone in Jerusalem who knows Citroen well. Have you tried the dealership?

Michael S. replied:
There are little doodads you can buy which plug into a headphone output and send it out on radio. As long as you're OK with adjacent cars possibly listening to your music, you can solve the problem you're trying to solve for under $20 (plus batteries, but I imagine they'll last long since it's a low power operation). https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00URUJWPW
Sol K. replied:
this doesn't exactly answer your question. However for almost all questions of price for installators or garages etc you can go to midrag. For instance here is the page which gives you all the fees for different types of car fixes http://www.midrag.co.il/001009-%D7%9E%D7%97%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%9F-%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%9D/#22
