i got this from one of our corporate office directors. it came out of a "blockparty". Blockbuster opened these as adult like chuck e cheese's in new mexico and indianapolis.

Awesome. o.o

Kind of seems a bit awkward to actually play though? Looks like the CP is waaay down low, and then the monitor is tilted upwards?
 
Ofcouse im selling it. I do feel it will sell quicker as a 60/1. Anyone need a working centipede board.. :)

So, you're touting a butt-ugly rare game...after yanking the board and turning it into a 60-in-1. That's awesome! :D
 
I haven't altered it yet smarty pants. But I'm not gonna sit on it for 2 years either. As many others have said, owner can do what he wants. I want it sold
 
So does that actually have an original atari centipede board and the cab is basically a generic BlockBuster Block Party cab that was meant to house any number of games? Or was a newer board made/used to go with the cab like a new dedicated game? My coment about sounding like a 60 in 1 was because the CL ad read to me like it was already running a 60 in 1 board and just needed to be set up so it would enable the other games to be played.
 
Yeah, I am curious too. Is it an original Centipede board with a JAMMA adapter? Did Blockbuster gut original cabs and transplant the wiring and PCB's?

Gotta read between the lines. Game was at an ADULT style arcade. I bet you played it with your wang.

What are those openings on the cabinet above and below the control panel? Does this use coin doors?
 
It currently has centipede wiring. Above control panel I gather that was the coin box, which I'm missing. Below is the access door with boards installed on pull out trays.
 
My guess is blockbuster gutted a cab and transferred everything. But I really havent looked inside it. No other doors. CEC bought em out and this went home with one of our corporate guys.
 
Is that upper mold used for another game? I swear I've seen it before -maybe on a Sega driving game, but can't find a pic of it in the KLOV listings.

I remember going to the Indy location several times in the mid-late 1990s. Don't ever remember ever seeing any classic games there.
