Whats in your cab(s) right now?

[emphatic]

Did every sports centre sell chips, Slush Puppies and have a couple of cabs? As that's exactly what I used to do after swimming too

Me too!

[crunchywasp]

It was the cabs, chips and Slush Puppies that gave me the motivation to earn swimming badges for mum to sew on my trunks

Emphatic:

cool, Outzone

Heh maybe I wouldn't mind getting into Galaga 88'. I was gutted I missed out on a PCB on eBay last year for £70. Doesn't matter now though
Learning a vert shooter is such a daunting task. I still think they're possibly the most skilfull genre of arcade game.

Lol, that's exactly what I used to do when I'd go swimming. We had a Teddy Boy cab in ours.

[Spectre]

My local swimming pool had Strider. Spent a fortune on that game and I'm still **** at it.

[FrancoB]

Ours had a couple and they changed the games fairly often. I can remember SF2, Double Dragon, Centipede, Bucky O'Hare, Guerilla War, and P.O.W, I'm sure they had a few more too

[crunchywasp]

I remember Golden Axe and Altered Beast the most - they were in for ages, but I also remember Cabal, Op Thunderbolt and Robocop, then a bunch of sports games which I was never interested in.

They eventually replaced one with a crisp/chocolate machine and the other had some crap football game in for ages before they removed it

They've just torn the pool down to build a new one and the high school I went to is just about to get the same treatment. I feel old

Changed my mind and turned the screen back to hori. Vertical shooters bring back to many bad memories... Gonna go balls deep on TGM2-Plus instead. Such a good game!

[andygeezer]

We had a leisure centre opposite our high school (Clacton county high) when I was there it had konami GT, altered beast, r-type, side arms, black tiger, flying shark. Good times.

[gradius]

My local baths had a rotary fridge which had microwaveable chips, which was quite impressive in the mid eighties. Also had a ghosts n goblins cab.

In my cabs at the mo are.

Aero City - Salamander
Egret II - Argus No Senshi
Blast City - Flying Shark

[geotrig]

our localish swimming pool had a vending machine

[shenglongbadboy]

Right now in my cabs are....

Sega Lindbergh running Type X2 Super street fighter 4!!!! Took along time to get this baby together as i brought the cab and it had been stripped of all the internals.

Super Neo 29 running Street fighter alpha 2

Jamma Wired Sega Naomi Horizontal running Super street fighter 2 turbo

Sega Naomi Running Capcom vs SNK 2

Sega Naomi Vert running Ikaruga

Lovin it......

My new toy I got today! Power supply worked for only 2.5 games before crapping out, I'm going to rebuild the original PS but for right now it's using a spare I have laying around. I'll eventually track down some new decals too.

Hey Julius, could you check your PMs or messages? I have been trying to contact you.

daimakaimura and its driving me crazy!

@Naonari - Beautiful set of Candy Cabs with 2 amazing games
But isn't there a third Candy Cab ?

Of course ,how you know that?

[Paladin]

Not exactly in my cab, but a successful test of my Naomi gun setup. I made a copy of a friends HOTD2 wiring harness with scrap Sega wiring from eBay and cobbled together all the parts. In the video I've only got one gun hooked up but I hooked the second one up after and it works as well.



Next step is to figure out where the guts will live. I only have one Blast City and its staying vert. I'm thinking of building a pedestal on casters that I can wheel in front of my HD TV to play, and wheel it out of the way when done. I'd really like an upright Net City so I could play gun games in VGA as well as standard res JAMMA games, but those cabs are just about impossible to find in the US. I weep a little when I see folks on here chopping cabs down when I want to find an upright!

I will admit that playing it on the Blast wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be. Not the ideal angle, but still perfectly playable.

[julius blaze]

Hey Tom! Recognize your blast from the marquee.

[Bababaloo]

Of course ,how you know that?

Madame shows me a beautifull picture of you 3 Candy in a row
