it's made that way to simulate g's taken while driving. Doesn't look great, feels awesome.

Ah! I see! I reckon I'd have to have a go in it before I was convinced though

I reckon all that thrashing about looks idiotic outside an arcade or flight simulator.

Another one to play by yourself or with like-minded chums then, and definitely with the blinds closed

It looks like a poor mans G-Loc!

[crunchywasp]

I've always wanted a shot in the G-LOC R-360 cab - The one I used to play all the time was static

[Phexe]

Myself and my brother built this cab around 2009. Uses a repro sanwa astro panel, JAMMA wired (initially was MAME), SCART monitor. Sure it wasn't the best, but around my area candies are a rare commodity and it only cost about $400 to build including panel and monitor. (On a student income)

I've just in the last few weeks (After years of trying to find one for less than $2000) been able to track down a Blast City for $1200 which needs a bit of work so i'm restoring it. I sold the cab pictured to partially pay off my new Blast City

That cab felt quite good to play, but after a while you get a niggling in the back of your head that you NEED the real deal.

Fair play to you for creating that and I'm glad that you have finally tracked down the candy of your dreams!
The story however has reminded me of this fantastic Peugeot advert

Cool, another person unfortunate enough to live in Melbourne. Let me know if you're ever up for a few beverages & a few games man.

That was a great ad. Can't believe it's 9 years old! Wow

Fair play to you for bumping the pic of your cab in this thread! Looks... sturdy To be fair the workmanship looks good and clean and I'm sure it gave you hours of satisfaction and enjoyment while you had it
Congrats on getting a Blast City - They're awesome cabs!

[ikaruga007]

I wanna play F-Zero in that

[pubjoe]

They had something like that setup on Western-super-Mare pier and I must admit it does kinda look like the most fun ever. The one I saw had a triple screen. I couldn't have a go unfortunately as they were in the middle of a competition when I visited.

[skykid]

God, I think that's the worst ever.

[crunchywasp]

I love that one - it's a proper disgrace

It is like you are really pleased that it is utter crap

Found this gem on my local craigslist:

This rare find also has been upgraded to a 22" HD Active Matrix LCD Monitor in WideScreen making it perfect for fighting and scrolling games.

[crunchywasp]

Aarrrggh. The horror.

At least it's a good tight fit - looks factory fitted

[instant_classic]

I had to look twice before I clocked the replacement screen, why oh why

[pogfanatic]

Craigslist has been on fire with some of these awesome cabs.

The marquee says it all, really.

[FrancoB]

I love the fact that it looks to half almost full size wardrobe doors on the back

That coin mech must come in really handy too

[crunchywasp]

that's excellent! I like the warning sign on the massive doors - **** knows what's behind them Narnia probably.

Bonfires FTW!
