Check out the attached pic...

Is that the original cab??? If so, it seems kinda goofy to play with the control panel like that...

1. That makes sense; same company. Wonder if the dimensions are the same, or just close?

2. Holy crazy-ass shitballs - what's with that cocktail? Tell me at least one of those survived! :D

EDIT: at least one did!

I used to have one of those. The joystick really wasn't bad but pressing the buttons was no fun at all.

It had been gutted on the inside when I got ahold of it, I ran mame in it, with a gamelist that played properly with those controls. Can't recall what I paid for it, but it brought $600 at Superauctions when I sold it.

Ironically enough, just picked up a Space Firebird cocktail in the same exact state that will likely meet the same fate.

Game doesn't seem to have a big following, I would say $150 to $350 would be the price range on the mini (top end if you get one of those mini-specific collectors who just has to have it). I have seen the cocktails at $200 multiple times over the years.

Having bought and sold one of these (I'm assuming anyways), what's a decent price one one of these???
 
That is sort of a Japan thing. Some neo geo cabinets have that too. I have never seen anyone actually do that though.

You can plug in headphones to that cocktail machine....

Did people actually do this? just curious.
