Shinobi in a BOX

Not the worst thing I have seen on cl by a long shot. At least shinobi was never dedicated. If you get over the corners and weird button placement it isn't that bad.
 
At least it doesn't look like they had to kill a real cab to put that together, so I'd give them a A for effort and a C- for actual results.

Exactly. No actual harm done, except blowing people's minds on the weird design choice. How do you play this thing? Standing up?
 
You can probably just sit at it with a chair. I used to have a similar cobbled together setup.

If it was black with yellow laminate on the sides, and played PONG with rotary controllers/knobs, that design would be a lot more acceptable. Building these customs are one thing if you plan on keeping them for yourself. Expecting people to pay money for them when you don't want them anymore is another story.
 
Well, the price isn't crazy like some of the black unfinished particle board mame cabinets with no computer in them that people try to sell for a grand.

Isn't Shinobi a $100 board by itself and then $30 for a Midway coin door and then another $30 for the Jamma adaptor that must be in there? That right there gets you most of the way to the asking price.

If he still had the rest of the blue paint can I could rework that thing into an acceptable looking lowboy for maybe another $20.
