Picked up my second game yesterday, and after looking closely at the cabinet, I believe I identified it as a Primal Rage cabinet. Having figured that out, I am now seriously considering restoring it to a Primal Rage game, and using the Marvel Superheroes for something else, since I was thinking I was going to convert the Marvel Superheroes to something like a Marvel v. Capcom anyway. This is why I'm thinking to convert it back to a Primal Rage and I'm wondering what other people think about some points:
1. I really like the idea of a title in its original dedicated cabinet.
2. I was thinking of someday trying to create theme rooms. For example an Atari room that contains Atari pinball machines w/ Atari arcade games, or a Gottlieb room with pins and a Qbert. I was thinking that the Primal Rage would be cool in an Atari room b/c it is an Atari fighter game, which seems sort of rare to me. And it is also unique in general because it used a stop animation technique to develop the graphics. And it has that mid 90's gore controversy aspect to it.
3. The Primal Rage cabinet art is pretty cool on its own.
4. It should not be too hard to find the cabinet art and PCB to convert back to Primal Rage.
5. The Marvel Superheroes will do just as well in another cab or barcade type of set up, and I could add it to a Marvel v. Capcom cab w/ a JAMMA switcher.
Or 6. Primal Rage is a lame/boring game that few people like as a collection piece or like to play, and I won't either (I don't think I've ever played it), and I will regret dedicating a cab to the title.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you all.
