Yup, A tron converted to a Rastan.. I believe the side art is still intact just under black paint as you can see the outline of a sticker under the paint. The CP is very loose as well. I don't know if its owned by the hotel or a local operator, I looked for any sort of sticker but couldn't find any. The cab does seem very solid, no visible damage done to it.

That's a KLOVer for you. Most normal people will simply walk up to an arcade game and put a quarter in. A KLOVer will look all around it, trying to find stickers, feel the sideart, examine the coin door, take pictures, etc. Hilarious.

Not to steal your thunder here, but I was doing the same thing on my vacation. Went to some high status gym at my resort and of all things, found a mini-arcade in one of the off-shoot rooms. Couple drivers, a pin, shooters, and a air hockey. What do I do? Bust out the measuring tape and start measuring cabs. No one even entered the arcade the whole time I was in there, but I know people walking by must have thought I was a tool. LOL.

I do the same thing but I drive by warehouse buildings all the time thinking "Man, I could put a bunch of games in a building like that." I repair appliances for a living so work in a lot basements and I often think "this would make a great gameroom". Once in a great while, I do go to a place where there are games in the basement but its usually not more than one. You get the odd JAMMA conversion or occasional pinball machine. In nearly 4 years, I've seen just over half a dozen games. Ended up getting a Space Invaders from a lady for whom I installed a range and a microwave.

Rastan is a good game. I remember playing that at a bowling alley back in the day. Have to feel for the Tron cabinet, though, but its better than the burn pile.
 
Funny

We found a Gyruss one time in Knoxville TN across from Westown mall at a hotel.. We bought it then took it downstairs and cleaned the tube before we loaded it up....
 
Here is a picture of a game I found somewhat out in the wild.... It was in the lobby of a company I had to visit for work.

When we walked up stairs the had three more games and then they told me they had a full arcade as well. Unfortunatly, there was no time to play them. :mad:
