What game should I add to my collection to make an even 20 cabs?
After getting rid of a carload of junk I have enough room in the garage for one more upright cab. This will make twenty cabs...the big 2-0!
I'm having trouble thinking of what I want. I'm at the point where I don't want a basketcase or to piece a game together more than just adding a monitor. I have a spare WG4600 monitor to keep the game in the 'cheap' range if it is needed. Easy to maintain would be very nice. I like games from 1980 until 1996 or so.
SUGGESTIONS?
1. Elevator Action? I enjoyed it in my old arcade and it has good replay. A local buddy should be adding one so I can see if it still holds my attention.
2. Another generic 2-3 button JAMMA dressed up as conversion game for Final Fight or Splatterhouse, Aliens, Raiden II, Truxton, 60-in-1, or Similar game from my PCB collection?
3. R-Type? Probably the only Nintendo game I would want to add to my collection.
4. Hold out for some super rarity like Quantum, I-Robot?
5. Silent Scope? I know where I can find a project.
Here's a list of my dedicated and conversion cabs. Should any be sold? Any stinkers that have to go in your opinion? Local collectors have hinted that I should let some go. I can't think of any that I would want to get rid of off hand. All work (finally). Problems noted after cab. I did the work to these so they have my blood, sweat, and tears. All look unrestored, but okay. No mint factory restoration pieces.
1. Altered Beast (former Stargate, converted from empty cab).
2. Armor Attack (pieced together from half empty and no monitor).
3. Assault (joysticks half original, no side art).
4. Asteroids Deluxe (side art torn on right side).
5. Centipede (pieced together).
6. Galaga (repainted the crappy paint job that was there when I got it).
7. Hang-On mini (it's a bit delicate, but it's solid).
8. Night Driver sitdown (hole cut in black fiberglass to access shifter).
9. Omega Race (pain in the rear to keep operational but I love it).
10. Pac-Man (no art, but plays Ms. Pac-man with a harness swap).
11. Red Baron (one side RB art, the other side Battlezone).
12. Spy Hunter (cab nailed together at parts).
13. Star Castle (had to bondo together an entire half foot corner).
14. SFII: CE (pieced together from my old MAME cab, my horizontal JAMMA).
15. Strikers 1945 II (conversion, my vertical JAMMA).
16. Tempest (no more color vectors after this one).
17. Toobin (no more medium res after this one).
18. Turbo Outrun mini (plays regular Outrun with a quick harness swap).
19. Xybots (some water damage, rebuilt sticks, new t-molding, new front art).
