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...
-
ah okay, I understand.

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
-
ah! - i had a standard A500 inside the cab, so no special hardware there :)
-
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

Nice roadtrip -but what do i see in the background - ahh the classic generic compugame ;D the hours spent throwing coins into one of those :)
-
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):

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.....
