Landed some fairly decent titles.

Xybots -- up and running.. didn't like it before... Love it now.

Pacman cocktail. working nice picture. typical crackle on glass top.

scramble mess of a game. --- just a few parts left in it when I bought it. Now its a 60 in 1.

Altered beast... , it is in a vs cab, with a decent sanyo EZ monitor with inverter. Its working now. Colors not perfect, but looks okay.

Primal rage - Nice monitor (a little burn) cab is solid but all sideart is gone. In the right cab.. needs art.. (probably not going to find it)


I can't keep them all. which would you keep...
I am leaning toward the pacman even though I have a 25th anniversary. I also found love love for the xybots. So I am thinking those two. The altered beast is one of the first games I remember finishing, and the primal rage also takes me back... the scramble cab is also really cool... So I am a bit torn on the keepers, and which will be sold off to support the habbit.

Any opinions... I guess its a good problem to have.

Xybots was fun BITD. I hate when people are hating on that game. :eek:
 
xybots: keep it if the joysticks work good.
pacman: sell it you already have reunion.. cash out..
scramble :60 in 1 is a good use.. Too bad 60 in 1 sounds horrible for scramble..
altered beast: pass it along unless you like sega system 16 games.
primal rage: If you keep it as a jamma cab, it would be good.. Not an easy game to sell..
 
I'm guessing you picked up those games in Eldridge didnt you? I want the Primal Rage for sure if you wanna cut me a good deal on it. Throw some pics up
 
Xybots is one of those games thats ALOT better 2 player than compared to 1 player....That's my only complaint on it.....
 
We have a xybots machine at our office, so I named our printers after the characters. Major Rock Hardy is the color & Captain Ace Gun is the b/w.

They totally do sound like porn stars.


I miss the Xybots I used to own..

Still think the characters sound like porno stars.. Major 'Rock' Hardy.. c'mon! lol

Next time you grab something that doesn't suit you, let me know, we might be able to work out a trade.

Yeah... I was playing it with a buddy, we had a blast. It is a really fun game 2 players. I don't know whats up with the tiny little viewing area, but it is a really neat cab, and the game really rocks. Love the speech .
 
Intruder! Intruder! Another vote for Xybots, all first person shooters owe it a favor. Getting good joysticks is not easy. One of my first two arcade games, and the only one that worked at the time.
 
Save the XyBots for sure. It is a great 2 player game and it gets no love when you go to sell it anyway. I've tried selling mine off and on for the last year with a lot of "hey that's cool" but apparently not cool enough to buy.

The parts for the controls are not that hard to get, just use a pinball flipper rubber to replace the worn out switch rubber and if the centering parts are worn, Ram Controls should have them in stock.
