I have a chance at purchasing this game, and wanted to know what you experts think. This is not a dedicated cab. is it? To me it kinda looks like a Gorf cab., but not sure. He wants a few hundred for it he said. I might pass on it though. Let me know what you see and your opinion. The monitor picture is out of focus but you can see the image dont take up the whole screen, which leads me to the wrong CRT, (Gorf monitor).

It's a Gorf cab, if you want that game and don't have many options, and feel you can afford that, go for it.

Double Dragon is bad about having a narrow picture, I don't know why they designed it that way. Still you should have it wider than it looks in the picture above, you may be able to adjust it. That the monitor is a gorf monitor has no bearing, it still should display a good picture (but again, DD is usually more narrow than most games)

It always comes down to on games like this, if you think it's worth it, buy it.

You're about to get 12 messages from people saying don't buy it because they don't pay $300 for a dedicated Gorf, or a dedicated DD in perfect shape. LOL
 
That is worth $100. But I wouldn't want to have to look at it in my home.
 
Double Dragon -- with its unlimited continues -- is kind of a dud in a home-arcade environment.

Unless you think it's the best game ever created and simply must have one, I'd just play it on Xbox Live or in MAME on my PC/Mac.

And if you DO love the game so much that you MUST have it in an arcade cab, then skip this turd and grab a dedicated one. Even after you're fed up with the game, you can get some mileage out of that swank cab (with its easy-access PCB drawer) and a few JAMMA boards.
