I got this poker cab a couple weeks ago for cheap.
My 1st instinct was to flip the monitor and make it into our new 412 in one. My beat-up Taito cocktail is great but it was time for an "upgrade". As ugly as it may be we've had countless hours playing games as a family.
Then I got shitty poker game and I was thinking that I could make it into a standup cab, leaving ugly Taito with an uncertain future.
However, today I had a post Lent vision (mainly due to being able to drink beer again) {though technically Lent is not over but I said f'it for the long weekend} I was thinking I could convert ugly poker into my po' man's Joust.
I have the boards (and an extra set just in case) and a control panel I got off of Linkage. Mind you if I do that I'd only borrow the joysticks and buttons from the CP and no harm done.
Honestly Ottawa's market is real bad for games. And I doubt that I'll ever find Joust at a fair price.
I also have the sweet-ass smoked glass bezel that just happens to fit over shitty poker's bezel.
BTW, in case anyone's interested. The poker pcb is fully working and I will sell for a good price!
I'm not interested in side-art or any artwork for that matter. Yes, I can play Joust any day of the week on the Playstation but playing it in a cab is where it's at.
What do you think?
