Not much but I like to call it home.
i guess thats montezumas revenge black label to the left there? :mrgreen:

pretty cool (and highly immobile) looking cabs tho, rare to find cabs in the wild with no apparent faults at this day and age (sadly)..

Thanks for the post skykid!

Made me remember when I came to the UK and went to Eastbourne and Brighton during summer - spent all my piggy bank's money in the arcades on the seaside on SF2 (I even remember having played a Red Wave version back then; though I did not know it until some years ago)

Ahhhhhh..well....memory lane :cry:

MR is tucked just behind the Point Blank on the right. :awe:

They're completely immobile cabs, probably why they're still there. The housing is enormous - more so than you can tell from the pics. I think monitor size is the same as my E2, so 29".

I managed to get my 1CC on SF2 yesterday. Air fireballs... :think:

Your lucky Brighton still has a few nostalgic gems, sadly theres none left on Great Yarmouth seafront. Oh hang on, there is a 4 player Simpsons cab on the Pleasure Beach. :awe:

I'll have to check out Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, I still remember being amazed by the first pics when they appeared in C&VG Magazine. :D

C&D's is great. It's a tough 1cc though, I can only reach the 4th stage at the mo and I have a feeling there's at least 6.
