 :o   ???  ;D  :laugh: Thats soooo funny!!!! I dont know who made that, but that's just wrong.

You have any more info on it?

I thought I would add the pic below as its kinda on topic - this is what they thought computers would be like in 2004 in 1954. Another kind of wrongness . . .

Dang!

And I was thinking that, in an incredible moment of clairvoyance, they had invented the Tempest spinner years ahead of its time.

Bet you coulda played a mean game of Night Driver on that rig in the day.

Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch it! But I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

I worked in Wildwood NJ for a few summers.  The place that I worked had an arcade next to it and they had a gold cabinet just like the one in that picture, also running Pac-Man.  Seems like a common thing to do.

Unless the guy at the site: http://www.computerspacefan.com/ is just goofing, that is the real deal.  No photoshopping on my part.  You may now cry.

That is one of the worst butchering of a classic cab.That is about the coolest retro cabinet of all time and to go and hack up the cp is disgusting.

I hope you're kidding. Surely no one would build Pac-Man into a Computer Space cab. That's just sick. I'm really hoping that the original pic in this thread was done in Photoshop.

I wasn't kidding.

if done NOW it would be a hideous crime to history, akin to building a military camp on important historical ruins!

but i bet it was done back in the 80s. making use of a cab that no one played anymore...
