Database for dedicated cabinets?!

Post by Shadolf »

I don´t know if this is the right sub-forum for that thread.

Is there any database for dedicated cabinets?
I saw so many pictures from dedicated cabinets of games like Propcycle, Cyber Sled or Downhill Bikers. Lots of games I never heard of. I would be very interested in all the games and their dedicated cabinets there are.
Is there any full data base with high quality pictures and technical details? If not, is there any interest and/or possibility to implement such thing into or beautiful wiki or something?

Sorry, but most dedicated cabs are just part woodies. At least in my eyes, they are no real woodies. May I have to add that I talk about the big deluxe machines, racing cabs and such and not all those litte wanaabe arcade cabs...
People here also like Initial D or Outrun 2 cabs, right? So I see no problem with that.
Yes, I know the arcade-museum. I thought more about the 90ies, 2000+ and current stuff. And with a lot more high quality picture footage of the machines.
For example there is nothing about all the three games I mentioned above.

That's literally it, maybe system16.com otherwise? Don't get a database if no-one cares about the content ;)

That´s just sad, that there is no place to find info about the the machines/games of the last two decades. :(
Maybe it´s not retro enought...
system16.com seems to have some pictures of the cabs, but not in good quality.
I see those cabs as some kind of art and it would be nice to see what NAMCO, KONAMI etc. have released.
Here in Germany you won´t come across most of that cabs in the wild.

Maybe it´s better to say I talk about games which can´t be played in universal cabs.

Problem is those cabinets were really scarce, maybe a couple per arcade whereas jamma ones had dozens. Add the fact that they are normally bigger and that not many people can host them, hence there is not as much interest or information available.
