Today I think most of us cringe when we find an original defender converted to a poker game but there are some conversions that I thought that played (and rarely) looked ok. Off the top of my head:
Arkanoid: I seemed to find this often in Atari cabs. I thought if done well side art exempted it could look ok.
Mr do: probably the most famous conversion pcb. However I rarely saw the cabs looking good. Plus it doesn't help that original universal cabs (to my minds eye) are some of the best looking ever made.
Raiden: (and its sequels)..I just loved this game. But I've seen it stuck in anything.
Ms pac: I remember seeing pac mans with ms pac marquees and pcbs. A bad combo.
Street Fighter champion edition. I love the original street fighter cabs. But I also used to find street fighters stuck in anything.
Capcom bowling: maybe the most infamous conversion. I've seen more classic cabs with capcom bowling than perhaps anything else. I almost want to own one for this reason alone.
I could start a whole nother thread about cabs that NEVER should have been converted. (Gorf, Tron, Tempest, pole position.)
