PS thread that inspired the poll

anthony691:
I think people can do whatever they want with thier cabs, and it is not anyones place to tell them to (It is reasonable to ask them not to, but not to TELL them not to) (It is also reasonable to convince them they made a mistake or let them know you (and many others) disagree with what you did, but once they aknolage this it's time to move on!)


Note: I would NEVER, EVER MAME a Classic!!!!!!! I wouldn't event consider it; but people can do whatever they want with thier cabs!

hevnsnt:
well anyone who knows me, knows I voted.. Its mine and I can do what I want! :)

Without even clicking, I can geuss that thread above is about the guy with the Tempest.. I did the same thing(gasp!) and converted an empty Tempest cabinet to mame. I understand that it is a classic and prized by many, so I kept things completely reversible in the event that anyone should ever approach me. There was nothing in it when I got it, and it could go back to that in about 10 minutes

The other part of me says that Tempest has always been one of my personal favorites, as much for the design(the monolithic slope and terrifying demons ARE pretty damn cool) as the game itself. I like the fact that my conversion is pretty unique in the field for the reason that nobody wants to use this cabinet for this purpose.

I am leaning more now than ever to getting some repro sideart for it and keeping to the theme when I eventually do a marquee and some CPOverlays

If I were of a mind to make a large 4-player CP, I would definitely look to either finding a generic cab or building- rather than tearing this apart to make things fit

SirPoonga:
I would mame a classic, but not in the sense most people think of.  With the advent of arcadevga and jpac all I would do is just plug a computer in, no changing the cabinet.

Some of these cabs people modify are classic cabs which year by passing year get harder to find.  ESPECIALLY if you picked up a working pcb and want to refurbish.
