So, yesterday at 1230HRS we loaded the cabs; the "Amiga" cab in the buttom, the "Nintendo" on top... ahremm! - and the Generic in the back!

Damn a Punch Out! I love that game. And please tell me more about that amiga cab, it isn't an official one is it? I was just talking to my girlfriend (a former amiga club member) yesterday about all those great games it had.

And why didn't you keep the nintendo for yourself?

wow, those two nintendo cabinets look awesome next to each other. punch out is such a great game with that dual monitor setup - i'm officially jealous  ;) thx for sharing!

Now, the PU needs some TLC! - luckily i ordered some nice T-mold  ;D

unfortunately, only putting new t-molding on won't do the trick :P this machine doesn't need SOME TLF, it needs TONS OF TLC!!! go michael  :spaceace:

The Nintendo was a scratch build, and something went wrong regarding the measures...  :-\
That´s why i sold it...

And, the Amiga cab is one i did for fun as i thought it would fit in The Shed among all those other arcade games..... unfortunately it did not... :'( - so it had to go...

Hehe, i think that crack has been there for about 2 years now.... but it´s not blocking the drivers view so it´s allowed to drive with :)

Muerto: 10X for the cab schematics but, I'm asking if there is inside any Amiga computer or parts.
Eventually can You make photos for inserting in a blog of My friend (altribit.blogspot.com) and on "The Big Book of Amiga Hardware"?
Expecially for hardware type and software on it (if these is anyone!!!.

10X ;D

nice. I like the PlayChoice cab. You can play some good games on that if it's fully working

I had an Amiga too when I was young. On which I played SideWinder, Emerald's Mine and Bionic Commando

Ahhhh, yes that famous ball that showed off just how amazingly powerful the Amiga was !

Somewhat later someone programmed something MUCH better for the Atari 8 bit series (Note, NOT the ST series):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzxAfGTO8nE

So....amazing work comparing the "humble" Atari 8 bit (Designed in 1978) to the "brand new" 16/32 bits Amiga.

The funny truth is that both machines were designed by more or less the same teams.....
