People went from "this thing SUCKS" to "this thing is AWESOME" in the -same- thread once they found out Clay did it.

Behavior like that pushed me further and further towards emulators.  There's no going back.  :D

Well they of course had to accuse him of using MAME first. ;)

Well no WONDER they aren't selling.  It doesn't have enough stickers on it..   [/sarchasm]

Finally saw one of these at our Big Lots today... looked like
bad furniture, like it was put together by someone who
wanted it to fall apart.
Having said that, it was not powered (nor possible to be powered
I bet) but I was curious enough to take a closer look anyway.

And my retinas STILL haven't recovered.

Something about having buttons that look 0.5" in diameter
is really, I dunno... toyish.  Someone mentioned Jakks' games,
but this looks worse to me somehow.  Really doesn't look
like it would stand up to any punishment, and a good play
would knock it all down...

Actually, I left the store with a better feeling... sorta like,
even MY cab looks more pro than THIS...

Hell, my PROTOTYPE looks more pro than this.


WunderCade:

So the multi-PCB wouldn't be a good option to slam into a regular empty Midway cab? Say if they fell to 99 bucks on clearance and you had the spare cab sitting around?

shardian:

It really isn't worth the effort. There are better and more arcade accurate compilations released for consoles and pc.
