however if i was to ever get a cab, my grail cab would be a juno first...beautiful...
-
ahhh i get it, if its not a 30 year old arcade machine, no one is interested right?
-
Well, you posted this on an arcade forum and in the main section and if you give it a title like that we expect to see something like a SW cockpit or an EDOT or MC cockpit or maybe "just" a DK or Pac, but not really a toy statue of Superman...it really is a bit of an anti-climax....at least for me....
-
plus superman is the worse superhero around. ;D ;)
-
you know what, u people are as bad as some people on WOTR!
-
what's WOTR?
-
its a forum full of people who ignore things they dont like...pathet
i dont like lots of the cabs on here, but its still nice to see someone get their 'grail'
-
yes, but as André said this is not a cab, i'm sure if it was lot's of people would congratulate you..
-
I agree that its very nice to see someone found his or her grail.
Congratiolations on that.
On the other hand, i need to get this of my chest.
I think you are very negative if someone does not respond to your posts the way you like it.
Everyone is free to comment on something or not.
just let me give you a another example:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3459.0
I pointed you in that particular thread to a very good source for your request, and not a single reply in return..
Sorry dude, just my 2 cents..
-
...and that thread has a non-descriptive title too. I know lots of people scan titles of subjects and will ignore general titles like that. It would be a good idea to use more descriptive titles to get more attention to your threads.
On the other hand it's not exactly a very common game either, so if no-one has any info on it why would we reply ?

Well, i guess with that attetude, no one wants to help you - even comment on things you write...
Maby you should have posted in the off topic section instead??
And if you dont like arcade machines that much, why replicate them in 1:12 scale??
... just my two cents ...
-
i love arcade machines, but some of the cabs you guys buy are just.....awful!
-
lol, that's true, but still an ugly cab is better then no cab... ;D ;)

What exactly did you expect??
Attacking the people here is not the way to get more response on your next "grails".
Ignoring things we don't like is better than bashing them, right? Or would you prefer a dozen people saying "this is ugly sh*t!"?
Good luck finding it! Or did you already find it and wanted to show....I'm not sure...
-

Sub says he wants it so he doesnt have it (yet), and that's exactly what a grail is, because once you got your grail, it isn't your grail anymore (and it's time for a new grail ;D)
however if i was to ever get a cab, my grail cab would be a juno first...beautiful...
Ah, so he doesn't even OWN a cab, yet manages to say some of our cabs are ugly......hmmmm....IMHO however ugly a cab is, it's always better than having NO cab..... ::) ::)
-
You sure got some attention Sub, however i think it wasent the type you wanted.... :lol:

Let it be clear that I would have had zero problems about posting the superman statue as a grail would it have been in the "All the rest" section and a maybe bit more descriptive title. To each his own and of course he is allowed to have an opinion about cabs being ugly or not even if he doesn't own one but it was just not a handy move to say we are bad people here because that is simply NOT true (give or take one or two or three exceptions that got dealt with sooner or later)....
-
it might be a jealous thing...im jealous of you lot having loads of money and all those cabs, and massive gamerooms....perhaps its that!

I can only speak for me and my mate Dirk: we have all but loads of money!! Most of the cabs we received have been gutted and had to be restored or at least repaired. Dirk is not rich, but he runs a little business with alarm systems and bought the hall for storage (and tax) reasons. There was an empty room 6x10m. We started to paint it and installed cables and outlets and put some cabs inside. Peu á peu as the french say :) It slowly grew to what it is today and so was the cab collection. There were only a few cabs that we paid "big" money for. Space Duel for example. We bought PCBs, cleaned, repaired and sold them so we could afford more and new stuff.
As for others: well, they might have a little more money they can spend because they have a good job or no kids/family. But they also put a lot, and I mean LOT of work into restoring the cabs.
So there's no reason to be jealous. It takes some patience instead. Try to find other people in your area that are interested in videogames. maybe one of them has room left and you can have your own gameroom. Maybe not in your house but I too have no gameroom at home. Only one cab.
Make a start, buy a small cab for your home!
-
Yep, I have a very average income and can't afford to spend loads of money on the hobby either. But that's not really neccesary. My first cab was a Galaxian, 150 euros. Spent close to nothing to restore it, used an old cheap TV as monitor, some black paint for the inside, the most expensive was the powder coating of the metal parts, but I could have painted it myself too.
The most I ever paid for a cab was the SW, but that was probably the best investment I ever made :)

sorry for coming across as a 'git' guys, i just wish some of you lived near me!!!
i plan on having my gameroom....when of the kids leave home!

No worries sub! - i don´t have kids, and therefore i can use more money on everything else! - in this case Arcade games, PCB´s, Marquees etc..
But it will happen some day, and when it does, you will have the rest of your life during what you like the most! :spaceace:
-
my 'grail' arrived yesterday, its a lovely thing indeed!
-
Congrats
-
heres hoping a get a grail cab one day too :)
