Well the worst thing about this is that with this being a horizonal, non flipping cocktail, it takes up exactly as much floor space as a standard mk cabinet only now players will get neck strain from looking down and a joust was killed in the process.  Because of the horizontal layout and the contol panel positioning, this conversion has the ironic limitation of not being able to play games in cocktail mode.  Isn't that the whole reason for having a cocktail cab? 

If I see a bad conversion I can sometimes take comfort in that the conversion was actually a useful one.  In this case the only excuse I could possibly see is the builder being too lazy to build it from scratch.  Also there's the whole "mame cabs should be fairly generic so they can play as many games as possible"  argument.

Lilwolf:

I wouldn't say the style is the worse thing.

They did take a cab worth $500 and removed all real value. 

They took a very rare cab to replace one of the more common ones.

They took a classic and put a fighter cab. 

But as for usefullness.... My wife would let me have that upstairs.  No standups on the 1st floor.  But she said I could probably bring a cute cocktail up.  And that one would fit against the wall well.  So for me, I could see it being useful... in a please the wife while letting me get my arcade fix without having to go into the basement. 

I miss having my arcade upstairs... sigh...
