A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
Thanks Shilmover
Yeah, no worries. When I looked around the KLOV boards, it looked like pretty much all restos and original machines, which I totally respect, but which I have no space for at all. Besides, that's a whole other set of knowledge and skills there. Even the guys here, when I read about "capping a monitor", or tracing down circuit problems on the original pcboards , that just intimidates the hell out of me.

Toasters and Chainsaws is a game whose marque was seen the background of a newscast interview, by all reports it was never finished or released:

There is a slot machine that apparently pays homage to it:

Brainscan is a 'video game' horror movie from 1994 starring Edward Furlong. Sort of a precursor to movies like 'eXistenZ', play a video game, kill in real life, etc. Maybe not a good starting point for a cab, but it's got some cheezy one liners and sort of a neat logo:

You could play around with that poster art and make some cool side panels.

Wow. Definitely obscure.
But I remember the Dig. Damn, that was a long time ago....
