I know this is not Mame, but if this does not make you laugh, then you have no sense of humor. Obviously a picture from the 80's prior to Mame. Its nice to see that arcade abominations are nothing new.


I'm pretty sure this was in Nintendo Power. I think they finished product looked like a NES controller with the black and gray, if I didn't have a house fire, I'd check some of the back issues, but there were a couple of pretty damn cool custom made NES cabs.

That one looks like a mad scientist's contol panel and he's using it to create a new and horrifying monster. All that's missing is the dark dungeon and some squeaking bats for ambience.

I have to say this "cabinet" makes more sense to me than anyone putting a 360 or PS3 in a real arcade cab to play SF4. Why downgrade to arcade resolutions when SF4 and all PS3 and 360 games are made to be played in widescreen HD?

As for almost anything else on this thread....gloriously hideous. :buttrock:

Local to my area, a Pony cab bites the dust :crying:

LOL, check out the Happ style controls on a Candy. I don't even like Happs on domestic cabs - sad and confusing :scratch:

Someone should scoop this one up at such a great price....

1600... well :scratch: ...
"Cabinet can be used as a jukebox also, Sounds Awesome!!!!! "
I'll hold out for one with full dolby digital surround sound MAME action.
:oh_no:

why have a "maquee" top to an arcade if there is no marquee.

i'm a fan of the wide CP, that way i don't have to touch the booger eater standing next to me quoting character dialogue in whatever game we're playing.

Shoryurreppa! Got you again, snort! snort!? He, He!... Mind if I eat some of your porkchops in the food plate in the middle of the 4' CP while we stare at the magnificient 17" VGA display, brave contender?

Dude.... it's a test setup... meant for testing out parts and fixing boards.... it's not going have a big, functional cp layout right in the middle of the bench where they are working.
