Is this a real release, a hack job, or what? Can I use it with...
OK, so I have a chance to get a pretty decent Centipede dedicated unit locally, and I vaguely remembered a multi Centipede-Millipede-Missile Command game. I found this in KLOV:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7300
So, was this real? A hack job? Was it only put out as a cabaret or is there a full-size upright of it? Anyone have one, or the PCB for it? Would it be worth trying to convert the Centipede to this? (Once upon a time I would have just done it and not asked, but the more I go through equipment, the more I've started to want to leave dedicated equipment in a condition reasonably close to original issue.)
I guess right now I'm trying to find that sweet spot between a vertical multi that's a jack of all trades and master of none, and something like the Class of '81, Pac-Man Party, or Neo Geo where there's a genuine multigame with proper hardware support and a control panel that feels "right" when you play. I mean there are always the ArcadeSD boards I guess but then cost becomes an issue. WeLink costs little but the quality seems lacking. So I'm not sure really where to go next.
Thanks to all for your input.
Also, Wow! MK cabinet complete with steering wheel!
