What are the most Bastardized cabints you have seen

What are the most bastardized cabinets you have seen. Here are a few: Missile Command converted to a Hyper Sports, Joust converted to Track & Field, Moon Patrol converted to Tetris, and Dig Dug converted to Mortal Kombat.

If you've never seen this page than you may wish to sit down before viewing:

My favorite from the page has to be the Gun Fight to Police Trainer :eek::

My Neo Geo (well technically Dig Dug) was pretty bad, it was a originally a Dig Dug, that had been converted to a Neo Geo, and wired all Jury rigged, soldered up buttons, crappy attempt at stereo speakers, replacement control panel, non-working florescent light, the works, still had the original linear power supply hooked up at the bottom, just for I guess A/C filtering, had a 19' K7000 that was taken out of a Cherry 96 machine, with pretty awful burn in, and painted all black to hide the Dig Dug side art.

I had a Tempest cab converted to a Mr Do's Castle once. It didn't survive either.
 
Half of a Pac-Man rises from the ashes once again. (yes, ashes. It was killed with fire many years ago.)

Maybe its just me, but I don't consider that Joust to Track & Field a bad conversion from a restoration standpoint. It has good side art that hasn't been painted over.

Most conversions with sideart that distinctive get globbed with runny black paint.
 
Glad to see my Gun Fight to Police Trainer pic hasn't been forgotten. That beauty resides at the penny arcade in Manitou Springs, CO. Complete disrespect for arcade history right there.

I think that Computer Space converted to Pac-man takes the cake. In hell, the only way to play Pac-man is on a Computer Space cab. And the only way to play Computer Space is in an EDOT.

I had a boot hill converted to Silk Worm once. The monitor bezel was from a donkey kong jr, and it had a marquee taped to the top of the bezel that said "video". I wish I had a picture. It was hideous.

Computer Space Pac Man is the winner. The worst I've personally seen was a Tempest converted to a coin pusher game!

What terrible conversions! How are you supposed to even play them, laying on their sides like that!

not only that they have been converted, their owners also put them on their sides - not a good thing to do with the monitor running ... ;)
