A first degree gaming felony has been committed!

1st with the caaaaash.......
pfft

all thats missing is...."no room, will trade for pool table"
 
Pfft - if you've seen one converted Defender, you've seen them all. Nothing new here...
 
I got a Magic Sword in a Defender and a Shinobi in a Roborton cab:eek:

The Magic Sword was converted back and Sold. The Shinobi I have all the parts to make it Robotron again, but have not got to it yet.
 
People on here part out perfectly good games, convert perfectly good games, put multi-game craptacular artwork on perfectly good games, and then get all up in arms over something like this. Makes sense to me...
 
There's about a billion Defender conversions out there, that one's no worse than ones I have see. Case in point - a couple of Fast Draw pokers that both ended up on the burn pile, a nasty gray painted Final Fight with several parts tossed in the bottom of the cabinet (and owner claimed to still work) and a Turtles in Time. Turtles actually made it back to Defender. The Final Fight guy said "I've got Defender and Stargate cabinets you might be interested in". Yeah, it used to be a Defender, a long time ago in a galaxy far away.....maybe.


That Shinobi could still be salvaged. I don't know about now but I once got $500 for a working but black painted Defender. IIRC, it was the reconverted Turtles In Time.
 
The felony here isn't the overall conversion of the game, it's the time and effort that was wasted to do it. Scrap and burn would have been the better approach.
 
If nothing else, that is an early Defender (chrome pinball coin door) and it doesn't look like it is in too bad of shape. I have converted worse back to their original games.

Tell him to keep the board and the marquee & you'll take the cabinet and monitor for $75...The board & marquee must be worth at least $200...... :)

I would say the statue of limitations has run out on this one.. as it was probably converted when Shinobi was released.
 
at least he admits it was a conversion and isn't trying to pass it off as an "Ultra Rare Shinobi Protoype, made only for the executives!" and asking $2,000 for it...

My Defender was pretty much the same... except it was a Rygar conversion... and it was free...

I was expecting a Star Wars cockpit to Shinobi conversion.

I got it half right, but that's not the worst I've seen.
 
I never get why people think anything is wrong with this. Defender stopped making money, Shinobi was new and hot, the Op kitted it.

The other option was, the op could have sent the Defender to the dump. I'm so glad he kitted it.

You know that's weird I also bought a converted Defender that was a TNMT. Except mine was a Teenage mutant Hero turtles 2 player.
