Quest for Ghouls and Ghosts... you can build one too...

Well I have to thank Muel for bringing his Ghouls and Ghosts to CAX.
I have a SF2:HF waiting to be converted to GnG and a mess of dynamo HS1 cabs.

Looking at the CP, I can see that the Modular one is the right one to start with and NOT the corner cut cab which really is much more common.

Side art - reproduced by a few people online.
Bezel - reproduced (poorly) and redone by Fizgig for few customers.
CPO - still needs to be scanned and/or posted
Marquee - reproduced by a few places online.

Here's Fizgig's really nice one.

I may get started on either a Magic Sword (since I have all of the NOS art) or a Ghouls and Ghosts now that playing on Muels has gotten me the bug.
 
You should go with Ghouls and Ghosts, instead of Magic Sword.

Ghouls and Ghosts has the nicer cabinet artwork and the gameplay has a better "atmosphere". I think it's just more fun to play than Magic Sword.
 
This is next in line to get finished. At least I'd like it to be. I am doing it in a 25" Dynamo. The art/scans are already hard to find let alone scaled up.
Fizgig does some fine work.
 
Thanks...

I was happy to bring it to CAX. It has been a while since one had shown up there.
It's not as minty fresh as Fizgig's, but it is totally fun to play - and it looked like it was getting some love at CAX!

That's the route I'm going for Ghouls. I have everything but the board and marquee. Just waiting for one at a reasonable price.

What does "HF" stand for and where can I find instructions on how to convert one? Assuming you're talking about converting the board and not just the cab, although it seems to me I've heard somewhere that boards can be converted to it. I love G&G but not enough to spend the $400+ the boards seem to go for, but I might be willing to convert a cheaper board.
 
I have the CPO & it's being made as we speak. (both Black Tiger & GnG)
You need one there prairieDillo? Let me know. I am also having the modules made at my shop. (trying to make the mold to have them stamped & the universal bracket CNCed

This is Lord Hiryu version. The black Tiger is Mikonos & mine.

NICE you have a complete modular HS1 CP right there. I am going to reach out to takeman also to see if he wants to take on making the 1P joystick version so that theres a bolt on solution for GNG, BLACK TIGER, WILLOW and STRIDER. For any of the 2P games, its better to use a corner cut panel in the 3 button or capcom 6 layout.

I wish someone would put together diecut versions of the ghouls side art. And a silk screened version of the Marquee.

I'm going to reach out to my friend to see if he wants to be listed for services to covert a board to Ghouls here. We could also list out all of the services/links here needed to make/replicate the dynamo HS1 Ghouls kit.
 
Lord Hiryu made a pretty decent bezel, marquee, & CPO kit.
I was going to have the marquee print on glass once the CPO is complete.

I have a few modules. (around 5 of them) I plan on cloning more for my Black Tiger, Tiger Road, Ghouls, & another Strider. I'll let you know once I make them. I'll keep ya posted.
 
FYI - I have an NOS CPO for Ghouls as well as a nice Bezel too if you want to scan them.

Also if someone would do this for Haunted Castle... much appreciation!
 
I'll be fully erect once I finally get a board.
Guy on eBay keeps putting one up for the JAP version, but I want US. I like his price though. $177.
 
i have a very nice condition Ghouls n Ghosts Marquee. 8.5/10 condition. btw whats wrong the the gng jap version? i believe its the exact duplicate of U.S version. just the title screen.

I'd take the marquee. PM if your looking to sell.

The JAP version, the title screen and I thought there was something else. A sound or something like that. I WOULD do the JAP version but I would rather have the US.
 
and this is why I don't understand why I was given the impression at the beginning of all this that cut corner dynamo's were somehow more sought after or better, when it's the modular versions that all these games came dedicated on, and are much more rare to find out there.
 
I have 2 repro bezels available if anyone needs one. $60 shipped.

UPDATE: 1 sold, 1 left.
