Nice photo, hè. Those are most of the cabs I brought home from Insert coin 09 last year. Not only for me of course, but most of them were for other candy cab lovers.

I now have 2x NAC's, 1x Jaleco Pony Mark III, 1x Aero city, 1x Egret 3 and 1x Egret 2 with a tri-sync chassis (in fact, this is a converted Atomiswave cab). Next week I might buy 2x Blast City's.  :) Then I will have 8 candy cabs, which is too much. So probably the Egrets will have to go, and perhaps a NAC. I already got a some interest for the E2 from a few guys in Holland.

Yes... maybe  ::)

...but I guess I'm just too old school, even for the choice of Japanese cabinet  ::) :P ;D

I've just watched the doc' on my PS3 (yes, it works 8))... I need to try to Dondonpachi, Border Down,... or some Cave games  :P
I'm already a huge fan of Ikaruga & Under Defeat!  Thanks for the link, Scr33n  :-*

When I have my gameroom opening party, and when you are coming, then you can play some nice cave games. For instance MF 1.54, Pink Sweets, Espgaluda 2, or another one. You even could end up with a New Astro.  :)

Egret 2 isn't what I call an recent cabinet : The screen is the same as the one on the astro.
That said, it's a matter of personal taste.
for those rare naomi games, there exists now some interesting path through...  ;)
