So we've seen Atari, Taito and the latest - Exidy collection.... But, did anybody ever have a Universal collection? Especially the ones that had actual sideart. Games come to mind are the Cosmic series, Magical Spot, Cheeky Mouse and Devil Zone.....

Post pics if yes!
 
I've seen one. Not mine though so I have no pics. Beautiful art work. Horrible games for the most part. Mr do and lady bug are the two exceptions.
 
I have a Space Panic that some of my friends found on the side of the road in a trash pile. They loaded it up and brought it to my house. It worked but needed a monitor cap kit and I had to rebuilt the power supply. It has the wrong monitor bezel but still looks good with the one thats on it.

Here's my Mr. Do!

Seeing the pics of that Space Panic brings back a lot of memories. Our little grocery store in town had a Space Panic sometime in 1982. We always had fun playing it. Haven't played one or seen one since. That cab is sick, I LOVE it!
 
I might be parting this puppy out this weekend. I normally don't come accross universal cabs. Would love to have a Lady Bug

nice looking cab! I have seen that side art before on a converted cabinet(but I thought it was a darker blue or red).. I assume its getting killed because of water damage.. Too bad..
 
No water damage, I just don't like the game very much and no one is interested in buying it. I would likely sell the parts and then give the empty cab away or send it to the dump.

Wow. Unbelievable. In such nice shape.
I would love a Universal row. I'd probably never play any of them but they would be turned on and lit up all the time!
I have a chance at a Magical Spot. Maybe I should grab it and start my "collection" now.
Jason, I'd grab that game from you if you weren't in a far-away land. ;-)
 
I have:

Zero Hour, Magical Spot, Space Panic, Cheeky Mouse, Cosmic Alien, Cosmic Guerilla and hopefully soon another (secret for the moment).

I also have pretty decent Atari and Taito rows.

Oliver, we need pics!!!!

Sadly many cabinets have to die because of the distance problem. Not really worth the money these days to ship them around like it was in the past.

I hope someone saves this!:( We are you located?
 
Here is a couple of pic,s, the Mr Do is in the shop. And the Lady Bug is in a ct. Still looking for a upright for that one. There are more pictures on photobucket

Located in Sourthen NH and it needs a new power supply. I have not had the time to bother with hooking it up to a switcher or fixing the power supply. Has monitor glow but no +5 going to the game board

edit: Adding some more pictures for those that inquired

Does it work and where are you located?

I Remember the inside of those style cabinets all to well Mundoman had a bunch of empty ones we converted to multi games. Thing I remember most was what a pain it was to get those wires to go where you wanted them. Everything inside those cabinets is blocked off except for small wiring passageways.

Donate it to ACAM at Funspot?

They're in Laconia.

Hate to see such a rare game get parted out and destroyed when the world's best classic arcade museum is so close to you.
