Title: Whitch cab´s are you still looking for as a "must have"/grail/wishful thinking
Post by: Muerto on April 26, 2012, 10:58:44 PM
Let´s limit it to max 5 games (for now) and dedicated games.. - With pictures!
State name of the game (doh!) - and why you want it...

I, myself is all ways looking - and there´s still dreams about the perfect setup...

1. Elevator Action - Because it´s a cool and addictive game!, and would be the 2nd Taito game in my Taito row  :D
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/111/1115517779.jpg)

2.
Canyon Bomber - Because one game is never enough!, cool design, simple and addictive game play.
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/118/1181242065251.jpg)

3. Star Wars Cockpit - Because i have space (!) and after trying it at EC11, it´s a must!!!!
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/118/1181242172188.jpg)

4. Empire Strikes Back Cockpit - If you have 2, you can all ways fit the 3rd, and a row of SWC´s must be heaven, sight wise...
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/133/1330278014.jpg)

5. Donkey Kong - Red cab (of course) because it´s epic, great looking, and DAMN hard!

5 is not fair, michael, but here you go :arrow:

(1) BUDWEISER TAPPER (with color sideart): basically everything's just perfect about that game (design, artwork, music, gameplay, ...)

(http://api.ning.com/files/dT-20GNOJNNVYupjqaSv2WlyhC6cwSOPmRwDFWB4a05lZJ*zIJKLlGTwqPj5-CQrhQcveCY3EcznwXPm4SmHIILQBYE9Dstj/100_0405.jpg)

(2) PONG: because it's pong, need i say more?

(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/118/118124215256.gif)

(3) YELLOW COMPUTER SPACE: simply the coolest looking arcade cabinet EVER

(http://www.invaded.fr/images/News/Ebay/Computer-space-Mars2009/Computer-space-02.jpg)

(4) TRACK & FIELD: fabulous cabinet design and artwork, amazingly addictive and funny game - especially when played with a couple of friends

(http://www.centuri.net/data/tracknfield/cabinet.jpg)

(5) either one of the following games :P :arrow:

R-Type
Discs of Tron

I'm mostly a "pin-head" - but there are 3 dedicated arcade games I'd love to get my greasy little hands on  :)

1) Track & Field - My dad was never much of a computer-gamer, but this one game we could always agree on. I have a lot of memories of us playing it in arcades during summer vacations.

2) Bank Panic - This is the first game I recall being anywhere near good at. I still love the game play and design.

3) Star Wars / Empire - Those machines gobbled up a ton of my coins as a kid in the arcades, later I got the games for my C64, then it just gobbled up a ton of my time  :)

2) Burger Time

3) Robotron (even though I can play it on my Joust now)

4) A second Nintendo cab to have one vertical, one horizontal one

5) Mad Planets

6) Other vectors.....oops only allowed 5 :D

3 Kungfu Master Such a cool game! Made me feel like I was really kicking those bad guys asses  ;D

4 Ms Pacman nice game and I love the side-art

5 Kicker a.k.a. Shaolin's Road Didn't know there was a dedicated cab until I looked for it just now coz Muerto wanted pics

If there's one cabinet I want most, it's a SEGA Rally Championship twin.
(http://www.g-cen.fr/images/items/577/srally_twin_cabinet.jpg)
A SEGA Rally Championship deluxe would also be nice.

There's just something about it that I love...

Post by: Ronald Reagan on April 27, 2012, 10:07:51 AM
nice topic, and indeed, come on add pictures. That's half of the topic

(considering I had the money, space, gameroom everything, I would say, in random order)

Time Crisis II
(http://aznbadger.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/timecrisis2.jpg)
a great shoot em up game to do with a friend. It's addictive and full of action

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IXI5TjSiui4/TxjEiVbMsoI/AAAAAAAABG4/moCaYjdV0BY/s1600/TC2.jpg)

Popeye
(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/8337/1349827-popeye_cabinet_super.jpg)
I like the cabinet and the art. Great cartoon, classic game which I used to play on Game&Watch

Simpsons Pinball
(http://www.pinballzarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/simpsons_de_pinball.jpg)
As a Simpsons fan this one simply rocks. Nice art, and has that fresh early nineties Simpsons vibe over it

Street Fighter II Champion Edition
(http://www.joystixamusements.com/photos/SF2CHAMP.JPG)
I have good memories playing this cab, although I never found out what the original dedicated cab was. I was only focused on playing the game, not the cab :)

BurgerTime
(http://www.classicgaming.cc/classics/burgertime/i/burgertime_cabinet.jpg)
Great game to play and a nice cab to look at. I like the theme of flipping burgers too
Title: Re: Whitch cab´s are you still looking for as a "must have"/grail/wishful thinking
Post by: gyruss on April 27, 2012, 11:03:54 AM
Only 5??  ;D

Ikari Warriors: beautiful cabinet, love the Vietnam theme & original controls plus i have very found memories playing it on the NES
(http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u471/Gyruss99/IkariWarriors.jpg)

Double Dragon: Not much of a looker but still very high on my wanted list: Awesome music, game play (for a couple of times) and it's the perfect cab to play other Jamma pcb's.
(http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u471/Gyruss99/DOUBLEDRAGON.jpg)

Juno First: Great shooter with cool sound effects and graphics (the astronaut!). I almost owned one but decided to get a moon patrol instead.
(http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u471/Gyruss99/JunoFirst.jpg)

Burgertime: Not much to say here, it's simply beautiful and very fun.
(http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u471/Gyruss99/Burgerime.jpg)

Tempest: I really need a vector game and this is one of the best: cool concept, nice controls and love the art...
(http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u471/Gyruss99/tempest.jpg)

Ah toooo damn hard to limit it to five cabs, but as I've landed two grails the past week (more on that once they arrive), it makes it a bit easier.  ;D

1. Juno First
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/juno/DSC05530.jpg)
- probably my favourite game, and I love the cab as well.

2. Tempest cabaret:
(http://www.vidiotarcade.com/pictures/VideoGames/TempestCabaret-side.jpg)
- gotta have a vector game in here, and you can't go wrong with Tempest. This is so hip I'd want it in my livingroom.

3. Universal Mr. Do
(http://www.rotheblog.com/images/arcade/project/mrdo/mrdo-indy-may10-02.jpg)
- a party hit! Me and my father in law regularly plays this game.

4. Bosconian:
(http://www.emuparadise.me/MAME/flyers/boscoo.png)
- would look great next to my Namco Rally-X.

5. Double Dragon:
(http://www.joystixamusements.com/photos/DOUBLEDRAGON.JPG)
- the ultimate two player JAMMA cab. Easy board switch from the front, cool art.

edit: hahah, Gyruss! Seems we have similar tastes! We posted three out of five similar games at the same time.  ;D

Post by: DarthNuno on April 28, 2012, 09:44:55 AM
Well, I guess the games I really really really wanted ...are now mine BUT to be complete, here's the missing ones :

1. SEGA R360

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/r360-wanted.jpg)
(it's me playing on that monster for the very last time, in London Trocadero - 2005)

This game represent the finest technology used for a video game. It was a real competition at the time : who will create the craziest arcade game!
In addition, it will looks great close the the other arcade monster from that era : Namco Galaxian Theater  :P

2. EDOT

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/edot-wanted.jpg)
(As seen in the Joystix game room, in Houston / 2009)

That 'environmental' cabinet is simply perfect. The theme is the ultimate one in the video game world : Tron!
I'm simply in love with that one.


3. AIRLINE PILOTS

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/airline-wanted.jpg)
(it's me playing on this baby, in London Trocadero - 2006)

Another big boy that requires a lot of space, but guys, that game deserves it for me! I agree there's not a lot of 'action' in this game, but each time I have the opportunity to play it, I DO!
It's a really 'zen' game! The triple screen is really Immersive. I already had two opportunity to buy it, but I won't miss the third one  :twisted:   

4. KUNG-FU MASTER

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/kungfu-wanted.jpg)

It's just a game I really love and so, I would like the dedicated version of course. I only seen one, at Rav's place in 2007. It wasn't for sale at the time, and l8ter... it was already sold.
Anyway, I'm still looking for that one!

5. ASSAULT

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/assault-wanted.jpg)
(As seen in the Joystix game room, in Houston / 2009)

Same reason than Kung Fu Master. I remember Oliver had many of them (different version?), but they were not for sale at the time. Maybe now?  ::) ;)

Of course, I'll still up for other games opportunities/rarities , in order to fill my 'nice to have' list  ;) But If I had to pick up only 5 'must have ' games I'm still looking for, it would be these 5 ones...
Title: Re: Whitch cab´s are you still looking for as a "must have"/grail/wishful thinking
Post by: level42 on April 28, 2012, 10:07:29 AM
Airline pilots...yeahhhh, such a brilliant game. For some weird reason you really feel like having a huge airliner in your hands without any actual motion happening on the cab. It's a bit like Star Wars, the momentum of the motions are so well balanced your really feel like flying, especially on the tower level.

R360 hah ! I suppose V3 has enough height for one ?

And EDOT......I almost had one. I think it's safe enough to let that out in public now. Yes not to long ago (year or two I guess) I was offered one. However, I was 2nd in line, and when the first guy heard there was someone else interested he immediatly bought it. I had put up my HighWay II pinball up for sale just to make room for the EDOT.

So.....somewhere......in my country......there is an EDOT but clearly owned by someone not on this forum....

that Gravitar looks so fresh. One of the most beautiful cabs I have ever seen. Look at the surrounding 3 lines in the side-art. Piece of art

Post by: level42 on April 28, 2012, 07:03:16 PM
Damn, Again I totally agree with Ronald Reagan.

I especially love the CP "cut out". It's so "thin" compared to others....we have to give LOADS of credit to Atari who made a dedicated cabinet for (almost) every game they made. Nintendo looks really bleak compared to that, using the same ugly cab for all games. Seriously, I like the "standard" Nintendo cab now, but it's not exactly something that would win a design price, nor are they real "lookers".

Robin about the EDOT => so THAT's the big surprise you have for your lady visitors in the bedroom !!!  ;D ;D ;D

more of a dream as it's super rare  (nearly all carts have been destroyed due to some sh$t copyright!)...   and the cab itself is about 16.000 Euros in second hand...

Post by: ckong on April 30, 2012, 10:11:23 AM
This is difficult, there are lots of great games still to be deisred. But for now my top 5 would be:

Nr. 1: Moon Cresta

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Games%20most%20wanted/Moon_Cresta.jpg)

I played it a lot, back in the eighties and I think that the game is great. I´m not sure if the shown cabinet is an original dedicated one, but I would trade almost any one of my present games just to get it. The game is so great!! Fortunately I have the original PCB, so I play it now and then in a generic cab, or in a Candy (yeah, Moon Cresta on a 29" screen looks awesome).

Nr. 2: Tempest

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Games%20most%20wanted/tempest1.gif)

Like Moon Cresta, Tempest is a great game. I played it recently for the first time in it´s dedicated shell, during South Coast Slam. Unfortunately the game broke down preey quick, else I would have played it the whole weekend. What I love about the game is the frentic gameplay, the sounds and of course the vector visuals (yeah, I´m a vector man  ;D ). As with Moon Cresta, I would trade almost any present game that I own for it, even Gravitar. You don´t happen to have a Tempest, André?

Nr. 3: Gyruss

I like Gyruss, he is a very kind guy, and .....  Hm, wrong sidetrack.  :D ;)

Of course I mean the game:

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Games%20most%20wanted/GYRUSS.png)

Again, great game, with great stereo sound and stunning visuals. The Cabinet is great also. I don´t think that I will ever get a Moon Cresta cab, and the Tempest will also be very hard to get, but Gyruss should be doable. And in the meantime I play the original PCB of it.

Nr. 4. Frogger

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Games%20most%20wanted/frogger.png)

What is there to say, very fun and addictive gameplay and I like the looks of the woodgrain cabinet. I´m hoping that this game will also end up in my collection one day.

Nr. 5: Juno First.

For pictures, see this topic. This seems to be a popular game, which is highly desriabel but hard to get. As Tempest I played this game for the first time at the South Coast Slam and I loved every minute of it. Would be great to add to my other games.

This is my top 5 for now, and there is little chance that it will change. But as I sais, there are lots of other great games, like R-Type, BurgerTime, etc.

Believe me Erik, if I would have a Tempest I would trade it right away with you for the Gravi....

I love the Tempest cab and artwork but the gameplay....I don't know, it just doesnt "grab" me for some reason. I mean I like it and I enjoy playing others' Tempests now and then but it's really not a game I would desperately want to own...

That reminds me - always wanted a Zacc Frogger, like this:

(http://www.zzzaccaria.com/photos_www/2010/EbayDE_Frogger_NSM_2.jpg)

There was one on German ebay a few years ago, seller wouldn't reply to me, wouldn't even reply to a German friend of mine pretending to want it for himself.

You know back in 2002 or so there were 5 NOS Snax N Jackson machines found in Belgium. Someone stripped them for the NOS G07 monitors and threw out the cabs and parts :(

So what's an EDOT worth?

Hey that's a Dutch license !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cultural heritage illegally smuggled from our beautiful country !! :)

So this is your main one and the spare one came from the US ?

Ok I will accept it as your token of appreciation for picking up the Sega Bomber and Taito Western Gun...... ;D ;D ;D

Seriously: this proves very much I'm wrong about thinking they weren't imported here....

Post by: DarthNuno on April 07, 2013, 09:46:11 AM
Well, I guess the games I really really really wanted ...are now mine BUT to be complete, here's the missing ones :

1. SEGA R360
(it's me playing on that monster for the very last time, in London Trocadero - 2005)

This game represent the finest technology used for a video game. It was a real competition at the time : who will create the craziest arcade game!
In addition, it will looks great close the the other arcade monster from that era : Namco Galaxian Theater  :P

2. EDOT


That 'environmental' cabinet is simply perfect. The theme is the ultimate one in the video game world : Tron!
I'm simply in love with that one.


3. AIRLINE PILOTS



Another big boy that requires a lot of space, but guys, that game deserves it for me! I agree there's not a lot of 'action' in this game, but each time I have the opportunity to play it, I DO!
It's a really 'zen' game! The triple screen is really Immersive. I already had two opportunity to buy it, but I won't miss the third one  :twisted:   

4. KUNG-FU MASTER FOUND!



It's just a game I really love and so, I would like the dedicated version of course. I only seen one, at Rav's place in 2007. It wasn't for sale at the time, and l8ter... it was already sold.
Anyway, I'm still looking for that one!

5. ASSAULT FOUND!


Same reason than Kung Fu Master. I remember Oliver had many of them (different version?), but they were not for sale at the time. Maybe now?  ::) ;)

Of course, I'll still up for other games opportunities/rarities , in order to fill my 'nice to have' list  ;) But If I had to pick up only 5 'must have ' games I'm still looking for, it would be these 5 ones...
Title: Re: Whitch cab´s are you still looking for as a "must have"/grail/wishful thinking
Post by: Superully on April 07, 2013, 10:42:00 AM

(1) BUDWEISER TAPPER (with color sideart): basically everything's just perfect about that game (design, artwork, music, gameplay, ...)

FOUND!!!

(2) PONG: because it's pong, need i say more?

(3) YELLOW COMPUTER SPACE: simply the coolest looking arcade cabinet EVER

(4) TRACK & FIELD: fabulous cabinet design and artwork, amazingly addictive and funny game - especially when played with a couple of friends

FOUND!!!

(5) either one of the following games :P :arrow:

R-Type
Discs of Tron :arrow: FOUND!!!
Tron
Robotron 2048
Dragon’s Lair

This is difficult, there are lots of great games still to be deisred. But for now my top 5 would be:

Nr. 1: Moon Cresta

FOUND

OK, it is a Moon crest by Zaccaria, but the game is Moon cresta and the cab is beautiful. So this is good enough for me.  :D

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Moon%20Crest/MC3.jpg)

Nr. 2: Tempest

DELETED

I still like the game very much, but by now I already have some great SHMUP's and plenty of vector games.

Nr. 3: Gyruss

FOUND   :lol: :lol:

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Bremen%20cab%20collection%2031-3-2013/20130330_113732_zpscaa41ae7.jpg)

Nr. 4. Frogger

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/ckong65/Games%20most%20wanted/frogger.png)

What is there to say, very fun and addictive gameplay and I like the looks of the woodgrain cabinet. I´m hoping that this game will also end up in my collection one day.

All very nice cab are listed here indeed. Here are my favourite's

1. Outrun deluxe sitdown     Found   ;D ;D
2. bishi bashi
3. Burgertime
4. Star Wars cockpit
5. Tempest

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78649287/Outrun%20deluxe.jpg)

My most favourite game of all time because when i saw/played it in my childhood at the yearly town carnival (the standard sitdown) it just blew me away, awesome!(bought 3, now still owning 2 of them  :D ). Hopefully they all work.

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78649287/hyper_bishi_bashi_champ.jpg)

Played the playstation version for houres with the kids, great partygame

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78649287/Burgertime%20flyer.jpg)

Also one of the few real arcade cabs i played in my youth because my family had it in their restaurant for a few month.

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78649287/Star%20Wars.jpg)

Just an awesome game and it is star wars, nuff said  :)

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78649287/Tempest.jpg)

Played this one for houres also on one of my brothers computer/console (c64 or atari st or amiga or on all, don't remember anymore, just that it is a super game). Playing it on a dedicated cab it would be even nicer

Let´s limit it to max 5 games (for now) and dedicated games.. - With pictures!
State name of the game (doh!) - and why you want it...

I, myself is all ways looking - and there´s still dreams about the perfect setup...

1. Elevator Action - Because it´s a cool and addictive game!, and would be the 2nd Taito game in my Taito row  :D
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/111/1115517779.jpg)
Found

2.
Canyon Bomber - Because one game is never enough!, cool design, simple and addictive game play.

Found

3. Star Wars Cockpit - Because i have space (!) and after trying it at EC11, it´s a must!!!!
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/118/1181242172188.jpg)

4. Empire Strikes Back Cockpit - If you have 2, you can all ways fit the 3rd, and a row of SWC´s must be heaven, sight wise...
(http://www.arcade-museum.com/images/133/1330278014.jpg)
Found - SW w. ESB kit

5. Donkey Kong - Red cab (of course) because it´s epic, great looking, and DAMN hard!

Time for some underdogs, I suppose:

Monaco GP Cabaret.

Even though it was quite common around here in the early 80s, I now keep getting offered the much rarer Pro (which I own already) and Cocktail versions, but have yet to find a cabaret. Well, to be exact, I had one chance to grab one about 10 years ago, but somehow missed it.

Time to update this again....
As I have (and most of you) found the cabs I was looking for, I stumbled over this oddity 3 days ago.
In Barcade NY, there was a Slither, didn't think much about it when I first saw it, so I coined it up, and wow, what a cool game awesome gameplay.
It's trackball controlled and with a fire up and down button. And by the looks and gameplay, I think the guys from GDI have been inspired by Centipede.
So now the hunt continues, would very much like this game in the shed...

Here it is in all its beauty....

I am at a point in my collecting where I am pretty happy with the cabs I have in my gameroom. The only type of game I'm really missing is a classic vertical shooter. So Juno First, Galaga, Galaxian, Gyruss or something similar that is just as long lasting and playable would be cool. But I am not in a hurry.  ;D

TOUCH ME .... great! I'm into this since, I think, 2001, but I've _never_ seen a "Touch me" for sale. I'd also take it anytime, so: great choice :)

could have bought one two years ago, but didn't want to spend the amount of money he was asking back then. flashforward to today, the seller still has it, but now he wants even more - damn! still waiting on pics of the machine though (because he's on vacation)!

2. EDOT

(As seen in the Joystix game room, in Houston / 2009)

That 'environmental' cabinet is simply perfect. The theme is the ultimate one in the video game world : Tron!
I'm simply in love with that one.

I saw that arcade game at Disney Quest. Do you think you can try to contact them and see if you can purchase that arcade machine? DisneyQuest is set to close this year, and it would be a shame if Disney disposes of those cabinets.  :(

Well, I got the upright model since...
Yeah, I know, not as spectacular as the environmental one, but I'm happy with it  :)
