Dedicated Ghosts N Goblins
Dedicated Karnov
Dedicated Rygar
Dedicated Heavy Barrel
Dedicated Rush N Attack
It seems like the mid-late 80's games that were everywhere at the end of the decade must have all gotten converted to Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or Arkanoid.

I didn't know these two beasts existed; thought they were only conversions.
Was there ever a dedicated Jail Break? If so, that's another one I never saw...

A had a friend's 50th birthday party and could not attend, but I saw XXI21's pictures last night. That sure is a nice looking machine.

Empire City: 1931
Shoot Out
Arlington Horse Racing

That's probably why I don't see very many. Didn't they put any of those games in dedicated cabs? Not even the Data East title? And I have never seen a Rush N Attack of any sort in my 7 years of looking.

Are these really becoming scarce? Seems like a lot of collectors own this one. Not to mention I have seen it up for sale in all forms in the last year.
I think some of it depends on where you are located. There is no shortage of Ladybug machines around my area; both dedicated and conversions are popping up all the time.
The game that I do remember being in all the arcades I went to, and I never see anywhere anymore is Rip Off.

Very true. I had one that was horribly faded and was a project cab that needed parts, especially a complete control panel. I found a guy on CL that had 2 MK cabs and I took a gamble on the one that had been painted over and partially uncovered. The artwork is in really great shape overall with no fading. The other side has more scratches, but still better than what I had.

Seems like out of the last ten I've seen for sale about 1 was saved and the rest were parted. Not sure if those parts helped save any machines but on the surface it looks like they are fading quickly. Mainly because the boards have acid damage. Sad too because most of the cabs I've sen have been in awesome condition.
