Title: Bad Conversion: Could this be the worst?
Post by: mgb on December 21, 2010, 05:55:35 pm
This is in a roller rink who I do repairs for.

Its a Tempest converted to a Magic Sword.
I'm not sure why anyone would have done this one.

Tempest- Vertical...............Magic Sword- Horizontal

Tempest- Vector................Magic Sword- Raster

Tempest- A fun game thats a joy to play........................Magic Sword- Well, to each his own

I already told my customer that when he's sick of this game taking up space and electricity that far outweigh the 2 tokens that make their way into this game on a good week, I'd be glad to take it off his hands.

This could very well be the worst photo of a bad conversion that I've ever seen.   ;)

Worst I've seen is one of those big Taito Flight Sim cabinets running a NES based multi-game boot.

Ok, I know the fight sims are about as much fun as any other 'Sim' arcade such as the train sims and driving sims (that is to say, not much at all because realism != fun) but a NES multi-game is still a bit of a harsh punishment even for one of those ;-)

Yeah your right, it is a terrible photo.
I took it with my cell phone in a rather dark rm

<sarcasm> I had a tempest that was converted into some stupid game called Major Havok or something. What a piece of crap. Straight to the dumpster she went, right on top of some Cinematronics 'Cosmic' something or other ;) </sarcasm>
