OMG!! There are so many things wrong with this

It's ugly, but not the worst conversion I've seen. And I guess that is a Xenophobe? Always felt that was kind of a meh game.
 
Oh, I thought this was one of those "I can't belive someone did that to a Xenophobe" posts.

I noted the ugly cabinet (Xenophobe is just a really ugly-ass cabinet...), but did not note the price or button layout. Or the overlapping mini marquees with no proper Neo-Geo marquee part.

But, meh, another idiot Craigslist seller. We should just make one sticky post for all these or something. Or maybe a sub forum.

I'd say 'in before the obligatory "post a screenshot, not a link" post', but I think that thing will be there for a while.
 
Dear god, WHY? I'm surprised they didn't lay out the buttons in a diamond pattern. This is the kind of thing I'd snag for $100 to have an mvs cabinet, but $1200. Booo.
 
Xenophobe is a big heavy cab and kind of ugly. I went to look at a pin from some guy who was moving and he had one on his lanai converted to a Combatribes. Thing was trashed but he plugged it in and it actually worked, I wouldn't have even tried to plug it in just based on it being outdoors for so long and the condition of the game. He kept dropping the price but just the thought of trying to lug this game out of there and then having to dispose of the empty cab made me walk. It is a big cab.

So a week later I drive by and it is out on the lawn. I pulled over and the new house owner happened to pull up at the same time. I asked if it was trash and he said yep so I grabbed the monitor and the boards since I knew it worked and the monitor was actually really clean. I could have gotten it for $20 but by passing I got what I wanted for free and the garbage men took care of the rest. :)

The older I get the less I want to deal with games that big.
 
Man, when referencing CL... include a picture so when it's gone we can continue to talk dirty about it!! :D

OMG Screen shot of Internet Explorer!!!!

LOL, considering we are normally Mac all the way and I just happened to be on the only PC we have setting up for the ArcadeSD. I hate windows!

But "check this out on CL...." and all you see is expired listings when you go to see what all the hubbub is about is worth a comment whatever computer I'm on. ;)
 
I agree its ugly but Xenephobe was ugly dedicated as one pointed out. I dont think its worth making a tread over IMO. Yes, he is asking $1200 ok but there are a TON of overpriced games on CL. Keep in mind operators converted a ton of games and made them as cheap as possible. This is one example of many.
