Anyone ever passed on a good game just because it's ugly? I love Marble Madness, but always debate on whether or not it's cool enough looking for my limited space.

What's ugly about Marble Madness?

What's ugly about Marble Madness?

The bezel and the huge speaker grill underneath the monitor.

As Marble Madness' go, yours is about as sweet as they come ... but it's not a pretty cabinet design and the sideart is very generic (and yes, I realize that is what they were going for with the System One cabinets).

I think System 1 cabs are pretty unique and cool looking ...even with the generic side art. The speaker location is cool BTW...
 
Punchout!

Love the game, but has the most BORING side art...hope Nintendo didn't BLOW a bunch of money printing that side art up...LOL

True
 
I for one think the System 1 side art is nice. It's kind of reminiscent of the silver label Atari 2600/7800 games and systems. Its at least a hell of a lot better than the System 2 sideart....

I agree on the bezel, just looks dull. The kits should have come with custom bezels as well IMO, hell you always got a new panel and marquee, why stop there? I've always toyed with the idea of hacking in a 25" monitor in my RoadBlasters just so I could lose the plain jane bezel.

System 2 side art blows.

System one is not bad. I dropped the coin at Phoenix to do up my MM.

So yes, I love Paperboy, but not the side art.
 
every game i like has cool sideart except for capcom bowling. the worst is when you love the sideart and hatethe game


A Ms. Pac or other game converted to this does look bad, but what about the dedicated? That is one nice clean looking machine.

I agree the System 2 side art is pretty weak... but not as weak as a System 2 cab with painted black sides...
