Frogger?
<< < (3/3)
Clu:
I got a Frogger cabinet at an auction for $10.  One of my better finds.  It didn't have a board or chassis, so  I stuck in a vertically mounted pc monitor.  I really like the monitor angle and slightly smaller size, plus Gremlin panels are pretty easy to find on Ebay if you want to swap them for different games.  Definitely a classic.
Crowquill:
A classic? Definitely.

Worth restoring? Probably not.

My MAME cab started out as a copy of the Sega convert-a-cabs (Crazy Kong to be exact). It's a good-looking classic-style cabinet but really doesn't have a lot of flair compared to others. That's one reason I like it as a MAME cab. You don't look at it and say "Hey..a Pac-man cab!"  The woodgrain definitely makes it look dated (I painted mine). Trying to get repro art with fluorescent ink is probably impossible too.

All-in-all I think Frogger is a game that would get old if you owned it.

I thought the "dated look" was the goal. ;D

80's artwork=cool

80's woodgrain=not so cool

From most of the posts I've seen, cocktails and cabarets are about the only things that get left in dark 80's woodgrain. I've seen both Sega and Centuri cabs get repainted or whined about.

OTOH, I might just be scarred from growing up in a house with dark wood panelling on the walls.  ;D
