I really wish the real DK cab resembled this Zaccaria version of Crazy Kong. What a sweet looking cabinet. Look at the tri-colored coin windows. Italians, just when I wanted to say something bad about them.

I remember seeing this picture a long time ago.

Does anyone actually have one of these? I like the design as well...
 
just the other day when i picked up my rampage (amongst others), the seller had a CK in his soon-to-be gameroom. if you're interested in the story, you can follow it here:

btw, it's strange: you americans guys wish your dk cabs would like the european version, it's exactly the opposite on our side of the pond :)

That does look pretty sweet... but it still is not as cool as the regular DK cabinet.

Now, Zaccaria's Frogger cab is a different story. Just look and it is easy to see that is much more awesome than the Sega/Gremlin version. I love the circular bezel area and the colorful side art.

 
That bezel is classic. Jumpman is coming to save you .... in some jeans and a fucking members only jacket. Awesome.

Is there any other way? Sounds like a well-dressed protagonist to me. And anyway, it's better than the 'Members Only' patch you sewed to the back of all your Z. Cavs.

That's hilarious. It's like a frog version of Highlander or something.
 
That Crazy Kong is sweet!! Ball-kicks the DK cabaret all day.

I hate seeing MK to MKII to MK3 conversions - Why drill a hole through that MKII CP??

That Zaccaria Frogger is very cool - but the Sega machine suffers a little in comparison `cause the one in the picture has no side art. :D
 
I think the oval 'cutout' on the bezel is kind of off-putting. Other than that, it's an interesting cab. I still prefer the US version though.

I would pay 50 bucks for the us frogger. Great game, losy cab and sideart. Now that Zaccaria, I would pay handsomely for.
 
I like this style Crazy Kong cab, which uses the artwork from one of the original DK flyers (note, the marquee says Donkey Kong, but I'm sure that's a Crazy Kong, since the artwork on the marquee is the same as that style of Crazy Kong marquees...found the pic on craigslist awhile back) There was also another common cab that I think was normally used for the Falcon version, but it was pretty much like Frogger. Similar shape and just woodgrain on the sides. 2nd pic is one of those. I'd take one of those though, if someone had one for sale (I missed one locally a year or two ago...grrr...)

Both cabs are unimpressive in my opinion.And like it has been said,the US frogger cab is being compared a little unfairly since this particular cab doesn't have the side art.
