Or at least that's what the ad copy says (from the Houston CL). It even includes "hard to fine titles...":

Jesus Christ look at the size of that front porch. The cab's gunna tip!

I wonder how it plays SFIV since it has them all...
 
ive seen a lot worse. at least he has a theme to the cabinet and does not have stickers or some cut outs glued all over it.

Yea, it doesn't LOOK horrifying. Comic book heros aren't my thing, but I can see that some folks would like the art.

The control panel is too bad - he's got a half decent 4-stick layout, then goes and screws it up by putting on every type of control under the sun. When will these guys learn that you can't get everything onto one CP?

I wonder how you are supposed to use that little spinner wheel to the left of the flight stick? If I tried to spin that thing, I'd end up banging my knuckles on the flight stick. Or the blue button it partially covers?

And you have to seriously reach for the trackballs. Not good.

How many non-cocktail games are out there that use two trackballs? On cocktail games, you have one on either side, so the players don't have to move. Are there upright games with twin trackballs?
 
"Look at the size of that boy's head, It's like a melon on a toothpick, I mean that is a HUGE noggin, it's got it's own weather system......"



Like the other poster said, really not all that bad(if comic book heroes are your thing), that is until the urge came to throw everything else under the sun on it.

Must suck to be player one and have your fingers bump that damned steering wheel all the time.

That's not a steering wheel, that's a water shutoff valve. Try grabbing that puny thing with both hands....(as both Phet & Jow say about each other :D).

lol, you are correct. A shut off valve makes more sense. Besides, how ridiculously sensitive would that have to be for driving games, especially pole position.

i think you all are missing the point and it literally has four thousand game cartridges stuffed inside the cabinet. that would make the asking price seem a bit more reasonable at least.

One of a kind arcade! Over 4000 games! Games from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Hard to fine titles all in one cabinet.

6500$ shit, thats only 1.75 a game!!! they should sell it to that vegas pawn show.

Actually, he says "60's, 70's, 80's, 90's"...SFIV didn't come out in that time period :D Like Pleiades10 said though, I too would like to know what game from the 60's he has on there.

....and we know how many games came out in the 60's....

Plus, I bet he doesn't have, lets say, uh, Stunt Bike. That's a 70's title.

:D

At least the asking price is reasonable... Hell, all the controls in that thing add up to more than six grand. And I know those top-secret-games-from-the-sixties are also a pretty penny.

Sad thing is, even if he had left a zero off, we'd still be making fun of it and the price! :D
 
So I'm the only one who likes the machine? The price is ridiculous but I like the design.

Probably. Actually aside from the asstastic control panel layout, it's not TOO bad... if it were mine, it would be about a foot or two thinner... about a foot or two shallower... and I sure as hell wouldn't have tried to stuff an entire arcades worth of controllers on a single panel.

LOL, you are correct, I wonder how he stuffed all those legally owned cartridges and PCB boards in there. Must of been a bitch to wire all them up and get them to flow just nicely.

Now as far as 60's games. Maybe when you press those extra buttons for Player 3 and 4, a pair of "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" pop up for 2 or maybe 4 player action. Hell, there's enough room on the control panel to implement it. Right?

Or maybe you can flip the CP over and there is an Etch-a-Sketch built right in. See, those are your 60's games. And you guys doubted him....
