Any news or rumors of a new jamma multigame board (vertical) that updates the 60-in-1 that's been around for a while? I'm hoping for a board that includes cocktail mode that supports trackball inputs (like the current 60-in-1) but also adds a few key games, like Bagman/Super Bagman, Gorf (which are on the arcadeshop board that does NOT support trackballs in cocktail mode), etc. Call me a greedy bastard, but I really want a few of these games that I used to own in my multigame cocktail! (And no, there is NO room for more full-sized cabs--I live in NYC...)
 
there have been rumors for years about a 100 in 1 but it hasn't materialized. Maybe someday but I'm not holding my breath. Keep in mind if they do add more games the price will likely go up. I believe the 60 in 1 was a $200-300 board at one time.
 
When the 39-in-1 and 48-in-1 first came out, they were higher priced and hung around for a while, until other companies in China/Hong Kong started pirating the pirates and undercutting them. Then we had an "A" board at one price and a "B" board that was basically the same board but at a lower price.

The company making the "A" board went and updated their board to a 60-in-1 in order to get some of their "market share" back. There was no need to upgrade after that, as the other companies were (and are) still making 48-n-1's, and started making a version of the original single trackball 60-in-1, but the only dual-trackball version was the "A" version.

BUT - recently a "B" version of the 60-n-1 has come out with dual-trackball support, basically an exact copy of the "A" version (although the board looks a little different in layout) but at a reduced price. Perhaps this means that the "A" version will get an upgrade soon to stay ahead of the "competition"....
 
I wish they'd make an effing shmup multi-board. Seems like the only games these chi-coms think exist are fighters.
