Crystal Castles Carberet??

RLEVIN will be able to answer this, since it's his. Sure looks like a MC to me but it looks so nice, maybe it was an offical Atari conversion?
 
Conversion kit for MC.
RLEVIN has been sitting on that thing for a looooong time now. Bet a person could pick it up fairly cheap :)
 
That minty cabinet makes me want one just because it looks nice. Kinda like how KillerKades Burgertime restoration made me want a Burgertime.

That actually looks really cool! The black sides remind me of that Centipede that was painted black instead of white. (someone posted that thread a while back)
 
I dont know where the pics are, someone else can dig for em, but I instantly thought of Noices CC beauty he put together.

Please post those again for a good laugh.
 
My favorite!

Definately a Missile Command to Crystal Castles conversion - but I'm not entirely sure this one was done with the official Atari kit which shipped with a new control panel, side art, & marque. Both the Control Panel and marque on this machine look a bit odd - I suspect the marque has been lifted from a standard Crystal Castles (doesn't look great with the speakers chopped in) and the new Control Panel looks odd - like its had a lick of blue paint then had a CPO scruffily applied.

That blue paint has also been applied elsewhere and that's not part of the official conversion kit. Neither is the blue t-molding.

Anyway - don't pay much attention to me - I'm down on it as I hate to see any Missile Command to be anything other than a Missile Command. As an aside the Crystal Castle conversion kits were also available for Dig-Dug, Kangaroo, Food Fight, and Arabian.
 
That's a Missile Command conversion but it's been covered with all sorts of blue and black paint, which IMO looks like ass. The proper sideart and MC conversion kit looks very nice. I'm surprised to see so many positive comments about this nasty conversion... No offense to Rlevin, he seems like a decent guy with a great selection of games for sale.

I typed one but deleted it before posting. Trying to keep positive;)
Real Atari conversions from MC to CC look pretty decent. That one looks like it was done from leftover scraps of old bezels and CPO's. Don't get me started on the paint.

Personally I would rather have a Missile Command be a Missile Command and Crystal Castles has a bad ass cabinet in its own right. The two should stay seperate. Now if you want to have the two boardsets in one cab, that would be pretty cool. Cockpit Castles anyone?
