So what would you think if I strapped the volcano cone player1 and player2 atari buttons to the front of some bottle rockets? ;)

Yes! I would might MAME a classic cab, but only if the game itself didn't mean that much to me! Cabs I would never do anything to but polish are cabs like Bubble Bobble, Outrun, R-Type, Jackal or other games that meant allot to me as a kid! But if I became a Tetris or somewhat other cab where the original game didn't mean sh*t to me, I would have no bad feelings maming the sh*t out of it :D Call me terrorist, but in the end everything the most of us seek is the original arcade feel about playing the old games, and a cab that looks seriously good in our living-room :) But if I could get hold of a Bubble Bobble... sweet jesus :) Would let it stay like it was for ever, that's for sure!!!
Btw... now I'm talking about Bubble Bobble... how comes it lags at times when playing 2 players??? I mean, it can't be THAT demanding, or???
Cheers doods!!!
Keep it real, and don't hate eachother :)

Didn't you kill the Defender?
If so, I need to find myself a nice Bubble Bobble......... and put an AXE in it! *grin*
No hard feelings. ;D

Killed the Defender? Dunno what you're talking about, the only cab I own and have ever owned is the Killer Instinct 2 cab ;) And that's still standing intact totally... only thing I did to it was giving it new buttons, new joysticks (Happs Competitions) and added a pc inside the machine with mame on it! The original game is still inside, so that I easily can switch to it in no time!
But you got a point there... if I saw anyone chop up a Bubble Bobble I would cry very damn loud, but only because I want such machine myself, and prolly can't get it that easy!!!
No hard feelings :)

I bet you most people when it comes to cabinet mutilation means a rare cabinet that is in good condition, like a recent Dig Dug.
It's hard to find cabinets like that in as good of a condition. That's what's evil about it, if it was a dig dug cabinet with a bunch of water damage that already was painted over it already has been multilated, not much you can do to help it.
Good analogy. If you became the new owner of the original Declaration of Independence, would you tear it to use it as bookmarks or would you try to preserve it?
Chris:
I have to admit, my heart fell when I saw the DigDug with its front lopped off. The painful part it that it was so completely unecessary! I have a nice 2-player setup in the same space that the original DigDug would have provided. I have been considering a larger control panel (I want a decent trackball!), but I would never lop off the front of the cabinet to do it...
MameFan:
Whats all this talk about Bubble Bobble needing to be saved? [Don't get the wrong idea why I'm asking this..I like BB and own one myself]
As of yet, as with any ROMSTAR game, I have not seen it in the same cabinet twice.
Personally, I picked up a Defender converted to a Bubble Bobble (Defender graphics are still underneath the maroon formica and dried contact cement)
Just like Arkanoid... I don't think BubbleBobble ever was sold as a complete game, only as an "upgrade kit".
