yeah thats the tricky part, Midway used the same basic cab for 2 and 4 player games (NBA Jam, NHL Open Ice, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat,etc) and even the same coin door, just with an extra set of mechs )hence the wider door. I think Konami did the same thing, used identical cabs for 2 and 4 player but instead of cutting out 2 holes for 2 sets of coin doors they just cut one in the middle.


all the pix I fond of Martial champion dedicated cabs look just like your cab, so its my best guess it was a martian champion. the only other US released konami game in the US in 1993 was Gaiapolis and it was a vertical game.

yea its making more and more sense that it just might be a MC arcade and another thing I remember is that there was no hole or opening like to insert a big control panel like a 4 player or mortal kombat one, so it looked like they just had a flat piece of board as the control panel.  This is like the best pic I can find, so I think it just might be that  :applaud:

So where did you get your marquee from then ?

So did you cut it out then to make room for the X-Arcade unit?

The squared off area is what made me think it was originally a four player cabinet.

I got it from mamemarquees.com, and yea I had to cut off a chunk to make room for the tankstick.  I wish i still had my old pics that I took when I first got it, I will have to look around...but anyways when I first got it, it had the t molding going all the way from top to bottom, like there was no spacing or piece removed around the cp area, thats what through me off even more cause I couldnt figure what type of panel would fit there.

Kevin Mullins:

Ah .... now that makes a big difference.
Meaning it was NOT a four player machine originally.
