a strange looking donkey kong...

[mybrainhurtz]

So I was browsing my local craigslist and was looking at pictures of some machines a guy had for sale... check out the donkey kong at the far right... what do you suppose that used to be, or *shudder* did it actually come that way?

That's a Donkey Kong cabaret, like this one - http://www.charlestongamerooms.net/images/donkeykongcabaret.JPG

Yup. Nintendo cabaret. Ugly little joker, isn't it?

Alot of the Japanese companies put out cabarets similar to that.
I actually like that style cab from a playability standpoint.
I played alot of them growing up.
The arcades around me had Missle Command, Crazy Climber, Rally-X, Space Invaders, and Asteroids Deluxe, that I can remember.
One of the cabs I have designed, but not built yet, is really similar to that.
The biggest design difference is that I plan to have the CP area rounded out off the front of the cab, with the marquee bent into place.

Wow... thanks guys, I never would have thought that it actually came that way!

And to give him credit, here is the Craigslist ad if anyone is interested. He is near Pittsburgh, PA.

I saw that yesterday. That is about as close as a craigslist ad comes to my area.
