What's your wish list for 2010?

[ckong]

Mmmmm:

1 egret II (no,no not scratch built replica   ) for Cave vertical shoot'em up  

Great choice, great monitor and monitor chassis, rotating mechanism (unlike other cabs), nice looks.

I have one for my cave games. But I recently bought also this one:

I know that most of you think that it's ugly as hell, but it's great for vertical (or horizontal) SHMUP's.  It houses a perfect 25" monitor, with a raisersharp and crisp picture.

It's funny, before I came to this forum, I was, and still am, pretty involved in candy cabs. I now have two NAC's, 1x E2, 1x E3 and the Jaleco. I plan to build a gameroom in 2010 with a Japanese section (cabs and wall art) and with a classic arcade section with my dedicated cabs. 'East meets West' so to speak.

no offence, but i totally agree with "the most of us" 

Candies just don't do it for me.

again, no offence

They are the perfect cabs for those long shmup sessions

Not taken, at all  It's just a matter of taste. Fortunately I like both worlds, although, if I should have to make a choice (forced by the one I love), the candy cabs would go.

- restoring the Pac Man cab
- get a (Japanese) cocktail cab
- refurbing all 3 New Astro City's
- refurbing the Aero City
- picking up a pachislo
- getting some more Cave games
- getting a 1L6B panel for 1 NAS (what else you gonna play them on ;-) for those long shmup sessions
- doing all this without people around me noticing how much time sinks into that
- actually playing some more than the last few months.

Nice thread this is, and love that Jaleco cab ..... but then again, candy does it for me ...... also no offence ofcourse.

[level42]

Would love one of those Capcom or NeoGeo mini's for my son.

But I know what they cost !

BTW ElPancho, is that your PacMan for sale on Marktplaats ?

[ElPancho]

Nope, that one isn't mine.

Looks like I'm keeping that cab. One ring classic woody to rule them all.

- restoring the Pac Man cab

That's good to hear. Do you want to bring it back in it's original state, including wiring, monitor, side art, etc?

But wouldn't it be nice if DK and Pac Man get reunited again?    No, just kidding, you should keep Pac Man, I know you love it. Does it work at the moment by the way?

[ElPancho]

It hasn't been fired up in 18 months or so, but I'm pretty confident that it will.

I know the pcb died on the previous owner, so he jammatized it in order to fit in an 300in1 or so pacman gamebox.
Thank god he did a tidy and pro-job.
I haven't decided yet .... leave it jamma and enjoy the flexability off that (even if it means wiring shot 1 to player 1 start) or go the hardcore dedicated way..... source an original Pac Man pcb.
Then maybe sending the monitor (which is the original one) to an expert for a capkit and sourcing a good replacement tv.

If I can get that done in 2010 that would be nice. Cosmetics later on ..... will refurb the candies first.

Love to see that materialize btw, I'm there should you want to do a 'grand opening'.

'East meets West' ..... you can't go wrong with this philosophy imho, just don't mix it up, that would be too wierd .....

[ckong]

I agree, no mixup, but two separate area's or rooms, don't know yet exactly.

And of course you're invited, as everyone here and on nozomi.

[METALHEAD]

The ultimate would be the Dragon's Lair
BUT, I want to build a cab and put multiple games in it.  Just to say I did it hehe.  So..just being stupid here.. what do you guys mean by candy cabs?

[ckong]
