Anyone own these and no how much they roughly go for? I don't think I would want to own both cabs, but get one and just swap the games out. Figuring their the same wiring standard.

Ive seen Open Ice cabs go for $300-$400.

I sold an Open Ice PCB for $75.
 
Cool thanks guys.

Ill keep that in mind when I start to look for one.

What can you guys say about the gameplay? I had Gretzky for the N64 and liked it. Is it as fun as NBA JAMZ, haha? That was for Jow.

Gretzky was alright. I didn't really care for the pseudo-3D graphics. If it looked more along the lines of NBA JamS, I think it would have been better.
 
Never played Gretzky, but loved Open Ice. Its basically NBA Jamsssss on skates. Great game. I miss that PCB actually.

Well, I thought the gameplay was decent, with nice graphics and voice for a sports game. I bought it, thinking I would get a nice sports game in the arcade for the sports nuts. It also had the nice full on side art, it was not a conversion.

That being said, I only sell games that don't get play. Maybe I don't have enough sports friends, maybe I have too many other games, I don't know. Most people would start a game and walk away after a few minutes. Maybe it had too high of a learning curve. I thought it was good, but it was sold due to non-play.
 
I have only played gretzky via n64 but I bought open ice as soon as I got my Jaama cab, I swap it in around this time of year. Cant beat it if you love hockey, gordie howe, wayne gretzky, brodeur , lemieux all in one game add big heads and nothing but fun.
 
I was always more partial to Open Ice and not because I was a hidden character in the game. It was just a lot more fun.

It has been a long time so I can't remember but Gretzky could have used a medium res monitor. I forget when Midway started using them in some games.
 
I paid $450 for my dedicated Open Ice about 8 or 9 years ago. After you win the Stanley cup you can hang one of these up if you can find one.

Haha, nice.

Can I be like the Capitals and hang one up if I win the division?

Yeah I have always wanted an NBA Jam, and this looks to be the same but for hockey. I think I'll definitely start looking for one or both, maybe next year. Glad to see the price is reasonable, hopefully I can find one locally without to much trouble.
