Title: ID this cabinet <- Food Fight
Post by: Crazy Cooter on May 06, 2005, 12:55:39 am

Too far away for me to consider, but it bugs me I can't figure out what cabinet this is.

As future senator John Blutowski was once heard to say:  Food Fight (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=7837)!

You have to wonder what kind of shape the side art is in under that woodgrain crap. Of course if they applied the laminate properly with contact cement I guess you can forget about it. :(

Pretty sure it's a Food Fight under there.

You'll likely never find the parts to reconvert, game is too rare. Everyone I have known who did or tried to deconvert a Food Fight had a bear of a time finding the parts and spent as much or more than what one is worth. The parts just aren't really out there. Checking ebay shows no Food Fight parts in either current or completed auctions.

Checking RGVAC shows requests for basic parts (such as joysticks and bezels) repeated over and over again by the same posters for months and YEARS with no responses. Hasn't been a joystick listed for 4 years, I can't find a bezel ever being listed at all.

The boards can be had though. Its the joystick, control panel and bezel that are the problem.

I was going to suggest just cleaning it up and also getting a Mortal Kombat board for it (Mortal Kombat and High Impact boards will swap directly WITHOUT having to readjust the monitor, swap anything else for a High Impact board and you will have to readjust the monitor), but then I realized it wasn't yours, so it is a moot suggestion.

Ahhh.

It was driving me nuts that I was drawing a complete blank on this one.  I was on the right track though.

Manufacturer: Atari
Year: 1983

That cabinet is on ebay (New York I think it was).
