This was the first game I ever bought, three years ago. It's amazing what I've learned in that time, with many thanks to the folks right here.

I feeling a bit sad to see it go, but it was time. Funny how you get attached to these games, with their little quirks and personality. It's going to a very good home, and I got a nice Missile Command cabaret out of the deal, but it's still a little sad to let go of the very first one.

Pulled out of the row & ready to go.

Yes, as far as I know. They had different (purple) art. No way in hell would I have traded away my only Tempest.

Aww, but yeah I guess it makes sense since you are really on a roll with the cabarets.

Yes, love 'em. Hope to have the full Atari set.


Good trade! Missile command is awesome, a hell of a lot better than tempest thats for sure!

I got it from another member here, SkippyJoe777. He got it from djw90, who got it from the original owners. Namco built some of these when they did the Ms. Pac / Galaga reunion cabs. They made home and commercial versions; this is the home version. It's the real deal inside, but there's no coin door on the home version. I paid a lot for it, but it's minty fresh and extremely rare.

Whoa I just noticed it also plays DK Jr ! Thats a really cool game . Those three are the best Nintendo games .




The giant Tempest stood out too much from the rest of the Cabarets . I think the row looks better now . I'd add a Pac or MsPac and that would be one kick ass row !
 
You have something against uprights?
Nothing against them, I just prefer the cabarets. I don't have a lot of space for games, but I'd prefer them even if I had more. Can't really explain it, they're just awesome.

Yeah, it is great. I wish it played DK3 instead of Mario Bros. They modified it to play vertically, which is a little weird. I have a Pac cabaret project which I'll get to some day.

Nice lineup, but you need to lose the casters.... :)

Soon! Those all came from another member who set up all his games on casters. It does make them incredibly easy to move. I've either got to put casters on the rest, or take them off the ones that have 'em.
 
u need to add a little space in between each game--- looks great otherwise!
for me, its hard to part with the full size, but when a mini looks better in its spot, the decision is easier to make.
