Poll: Nintendo, Atari Vector, or Williams Row

[advans13]

According to most, non-rows were in fashion back in the 80's (except of the same game). Now-a-days, it is all about the rows. Or did we go in and then back out of rows being in fashion? I am so confused but am wearing a member's only jacket and a mullet.

Fashion is cyclical. High water leg levelers are back in style!

All about the Vectors (says the guy who spent all day today picking up a Defender).

I've always thought the Data East games together make a good row…

Rows are like arcade game peer pressure.

bullied back then, bullied now

Rows are like arcade game peer pressure.

Rows? No More Rows!

I love the Nintendo folks.. if you have a DK, DKJR & DK3? you essentially have 3 of the exact same game down to the control panel.. the least you can do is flip one of the monitor's around and make it a Popeye.

 

[bitburn]

Give me an MCR row over a Nintendo row any day.

Even better, a Bank Panic, Tapper, Timber and Zwackery row.

 

[geech]

Or just a Discs of Tron & Satan's Hollow row.

Atari B/W XY row minimum = ? ("Atari vector" is not just color XY)

Sega vector XY row minimum = ?
Cinematronics vector XY row minimum = ?
Midway vector XY row minimum = ? (trick question)

Is a "ROW" only defined as uprights? Or can you mix/match uprights, cabarets and cocktails? LOL

I agree! I have five Atari vectors, two are B/W.

No, flip the monitor on Popeye. 2 VL switchers are better than 1.

Ah heck.. 3 Donkey Kong's, 3 VL switchers, 3 DK PCB's in each and have yourself a Kong Off done right. Back to rows!

but I would rather pick one of the Donkey Kong's, 1 VL switcher, 3 DK pcb's in it or 3DK, and have the space for a duel monitor Nintendo (Punchout) and horizontal Nintendo game (Popeye or Vs.).. In my case I chose a Fix it Felix but often contemplated changing it to Popeye, except my daughter likes Fix it Felix too much.

Could do a Kong Triathelon... 3 players each start with DK then switch to DKJR & then to 3DK... first player to beat all 3 with the highest score wins.... could also add SMB for the special edition IRONMAN TRIATHELON COMPETITION to determine who is the MR NINTYVERSE BADASS!

I may be biased...only a few left to get! I vote for Williams!

This one is done and going in the next week or so..

Nice work @braedel. You're definitely the exception, not the rule.. rules are that Williams Stargate's & Jousts are undoubtedly the best cabs of choice to paint black and house nice Jamma boards, no rows allowed. Just kidding! It's true though and I just hated it the most when they did that to Defender's because it's my favorite game along with Tempest, 3rd being Donkey Kong. I guess I'm biased to this poll in a different way because I like a little from each manufacturer and still like Bubble Bobble's & Shinobi's too! LOL

 

[advans13]

Shinobi and bubble bobble are better than mystic mare a thon.

 

[journeymandt]

Show me your Nintendo ARRAY:

I looked and squinted and zoomed and as best I can see it looks to be somewhere in the neighborhood of a 375 unit array(15×25 ish?)

Think of all those CRTs sitting in that warehouse! DAMN!

D

Edit: fixed a fragmented thought and a fatfingered word

Yea, that only looks good because it is technically an intersection or section of house and not a row.
I can't even imagine getting my Williams collection to this level. Well done.

That would more accurately be described as a Williams Pavillion I believe!

I miss my old Ninty Swaztika.
