......I have seen many conversions like this in my time as a collector. Arkanoid seems to have been in the top 10 (if not top 5) conversions of all time.
It always cracks me up when I see listed as ARKANOW:

I saw this CL post on my way home from work tonight and got me thinking about it.....
Don't get me wrong, I really like the game. I spent many quarters on this game back in the day. This one kind of makes sense that it was done. Tempest was not played anymore in the arcades, the Vector monitor/PCB/PS may have gone out and machine was taking up valuable floor space. It already had spinner mounting/button placement - they really should have made a better marquee for those conversions, that's just friggin' hideous!!
I know operators just saw these as profit machines - but damn, some operators out there did some whack stuff.
I've seen the Hellcades stuff before, but I think we need one dedicated to those sweet Arkanow conversions....please feel free to post any good ones you have seen.
