Hey Folks,
So I want to build a Bubble Bobble/Parasol Stars/Bubble Symphony Cab in something as dedicated as possible for my wife.
From what I have researched Bubble Bobble and its sequels were never released in a cabinet, only as conversion kits. In the US, the Bubble Bobble kits were provided by Romstar.
Obviously, I should come up with the PCB, Side Art (Generic Romstar?)/CP overlay (Gerneric Romstar), game specific stickers, marquee, and bezel. All the stuff that came in the BB package.
Knowing that, if you wanted the most authentic cab possible, what would you do?
Does anyone know of a cabinet that works out best for BB? Did Taito intend it to be an upgrade for a particular cab? Maybe another Taito game? What about joystick/buttons?
Maybe I should just build a cab from the ground up? If so, should I follow blueprints for a specific cab? Did Romstar make a generic cab?
None of the other BB games had dedicated cabs...right?
I see lots of alt side art/marquees floating around for BB. Did they have an official source? The non Romstar BB marquee for example...
Sorry to bombard with so many questions, just looking for some advice/opinions from folks in the know.
