I enjoy the spot in the description that says they would credit you if you decide to delete any items from the control panel. I suspect you could delete every part (including the cabinet, tv, and computer) in that machine and it would still cost about $7k.

If you are gonna sell this bad boy for 12k, don't you think you'd want something a little better than that copy/paste rocky theme as your showpiece. I mean that is the most epic marquee in existence.


And peep the 6" casters at the bottom. Does that thing double as a deep freezer in its spare time?

If they were to split the screen into 2 halves it might be kinda interesting.  Absolutely worthless in regard to playability as it is though.

So once again, we find that evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap wax paper, mixing memory and desire.

u can get same thing with a 19". Just put a magnifying glass big enough in front of it ( a lot cheaper). When your eyes plays tricks on you for playing way to close on such a big screen, you can take off the magnifier and your all back to normal.  ;D

Wow, that link should come with a warning.  That is one of the most glaring, bright, over done, obnoxious messes of an arcade machine I have ever seen.  They wanted that obviously...not my cup of tea.

Heh, that horrific image highlights one of the things I like about your Flynn's build, it has a widescreen monitor but to my eyes it doesn't look like it has a widescreen monitor.  I'm not a fan of the wide cabs but yours hides that fact so well.

That monitor though...wow...

Because 70" is absurd, obviously.

I get a trackball. You get a trackball. Everybody gets a trackball! (Except that one guy).

Aside from all that, Rocky may very well be the most random and out of place theme I've ever seen on an arcade. Even Rambo would have been more acceptable
