On my list of holy grails is a dedicated Shinobi arcade. I have yet to see one pop up, but then again i havent been giving it my all to find one. Whats a decent running game go or. I remember shoving quarters after quarters into that game at the grocery store and would love to relive it....minus the quarters. LMK
 
I also remember when Aladdin's Castle first got this in. I believe it was in a Bally Sente cab - the plastic one. It was very popular when it first came out and to this day is still a great game! As a bonus, very catchy music...

That being said, you can probably pick one up cheap. Maybe 2 bills or less.... There was A LOT of them!
 
I've got a captive seller up here in the rural WI area with one for $115. I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

You interested?
 
make sure the one you buy has the shoot & jump buttons close together. the game often requires quick JUMP & SHOOT combinations to pick off enemies and some idiots drilled the holes far apart.
 
Yup, all kits. I've been sitting on a NOS one for a while now. Well, it was NOS and then I used the side art, marquee and board.... So now it's just an overlay and stickers in the NOS box... You shouldn't have to pay more than $200-$400 for a working conversion in your area.
 
any pictures of what one should look like....i can only remember how much fun i had not what the game cab looked like. any pictures?
 
Not the best resolution, but here's one:

Keep in mind that Shinobi boards along with many other Sega system16 boards have "suicide batteries". There are fixes for that but be prepared to deal with it if you get one, I just traded a PCB to someone and found out the hard way that there's an issue with the sound because of that.
 
Never thought I would ever hear that said...



Its one of those things i played the shit out of when i wa 15 and theres a soft spot in my heart...i have all the regulars, pacman, jedi, playchoice, centepede burgertime but NEED a shinobi to make me smile a little more. :)

I like Shinobi too...If there was a dedicated version it would be one of my grails as well. Since it was a kit the cabinet is whatever you want it to be. Dynamo's work well, mine is in a Stargate Cab...
