As a huge Ikari Warriors fan, this "original cabinet" one on ebay makes me sad:

Looks like a Tempest cab, and look at the button layout.  Youch!!

I agree with you but that looks like that may have been done back in the 80's.....so it's not as upsetting (at least to me!).

$4,000 without a cabinet or monitor...  It's only a "kit"!   :dizzy:

You'd be better off putting that money towards 8 machines instead of one machine that plays 8 games.  About the same ballpark for startup $.

I think they market stuff like this to folks with "disposable" money...  because us "normal" people arent about to spend that kind of dough. :dizzy:
