Lots of people seem to love moon patrol, maybe I should consider a trade.. ;)

yeah... love that machine. i am still not completely over the fact that i did not get it for the second container. :(
Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

For me there are four games:

Donkey Kong (my first game I 'lost' many coins to)
Galaga (First game I mastered very well)
Gyruss (The music and gameplay is awesome)
Virtua Fighter (First game that blew me away - 3D fighting game was fantastic game play)


Edit:
Gorf should be in the list too (just the speech was worth playing the game - nanana you are promoted to a space captain). Hilarious

Asteroids
Space Invaders
Kung-Fu Master
Q*bert or Pac-Man (anyway a yellow cab)
Shinobi
Qix

But if I really had to go to a desert Island (a desert island that has electricity of course), I'd take only the Asteroids (or maybe 2 because it's always safer to have some spare parts).

Greetings to all. I am new to the forum. Thanks Darth for your help with the registration.

Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
Joust
Black Tiger

I especially like Scr33n scratch build projects, the one the blew me away was the red Donkey Kong cab considering DK was the first game I've played back in 1981 in Canada. Most of the work in here is AMAZING and Hat's off to all you guys.

For the cabinet look and the game :

1- Discs Of Tron (both upright and envirnomental), must say this is the best cab of all time. What a classy look.
2- Sit-down Out Run cab.
3- Karate Champ VS (mostly for the game - I was addict, dreaming of it and all -, the cab wan't that great)
