So picked up my first nintendo cab. Pretty damn ugly, but everything works! I will be getting this one cleaned up, painted, and capped over the next couple weeks. Some dude had it on CL for $50, I was totally fine with that:). I'm sure this is sacreligous to some of you nintendo guys in here, but I'm going to paint it black and add fresh white t-molding. I like how it looked on Punchout and PC-10, and I'd really hate to look at a bright blue cab in my garage.

That's a hell of a deal!

And I agree with you on the black... after I cleaned up our Punch-Out!! and put it next to the others I fell in love. The black just makes the whole cabinet "pop" at you. :)

And I love these threads about under $100 games. Definitely goes to show that the deals are out there if you are looking. ;)
 
Yeah, awesome find. Any working game for $50 is pretty sweet.

I agree! ANY game..... can't pass at that price! I picked up a Jungle King a few months back for $50.00, just needed a new power supply. A Sly Spy, although not the greatest game, FOR FREE! Just needed a new power cord, and get this, the monitor looks like new!

I love getting games for nothing or next to nothing. It makes for a great day! Too bad it doesn't happen more often!
 
My best find recently though would be a Dig Dug that was left outside a dentist office. Talked him on the phone and he said I could have it for free. It plays but has a wavy screen. Still working on it. The cab is water damaged on the top and back but that can all be replaced. Especially when FREE! I love that word!
 
So you are the one who beat me to that cab.....damn you.:D:D

I have been looking for a Nintendo cab in the area forever. I have all the parts for a DK and a DK Jr., just no cabs. It is just my like that when one finally shows up, I am in San Diego on vacation. I can't catch a break for nothin....

Well to make you feel better, you beat us to the centipede cabaret.
 
man, that's a good score! you don't usually see a lot of cheap nintendo cabs with decent games in them.

yeah, no doubt. I actually would have passed on this myself but for the fact that it already had the working Vs. Super Mario kit in it. The wife loves that game.
