Grail aquired(Sort of): Magic The Gathering: Armageddon
Just picked this rare acclaim game up from one of the programmers: Magic The Gathering: Armageddon.

It looks like its proto 1. They only made about a dozen or two of these before acclaim shut their doors. This is the smaller cab they made with a 27" vga monitor. They also made a huge cab with a 39" vga in it.
Not sure if this was the exact one, but Armageddon made it to cax one year about 10-12 years ago. My nephews really liked the game and played it a bunch at cax. They were upset it was not back the next year. I told them I would try to get one. So more of a grail acquired for them. But since its been so long and they are off in college now, who knows what they will think of it..
After I do some cab repairs and replace the PS, hopefully I can get some screen a cabinet shots. I will make it a regular at cax if people want to see it/play it. Its a cool game. Your a wizard and can summon creatures to fight the other wizard and his creatures. It has a very complex strategic element to it.
