Title: Name That Cab!! ( I really dig this game)
Post by: Gamecab on June 06, 2005, 10:41:36 pm

Ok,

I picked this one up a few weeks ago and have never seen such a design, I had to buy it just for the design of the cabinet.   Can anyone guess what it is?  I'm thinking Moon Patrol (Or a Knock off) due to the art work and control panel but those items can always be changed.

Thanks
Charlie

Hmm. That is an oddball. Never seen one like it that I can recall.

For some reason I'm thinking it may have STARTED life as a trivia cab of some sort.

I like it. But it's not a Moon Patrol (unless europe or some weird country had a variation like that)

I decided to attack the wire harness last night and it looks as if the Pins are correct to a Moon Patrol Cab.
I'm gonna to keep this cabinet just for the simple fact that my wife hates the thing.  Her comment was "I hope you didn't pay more than a dollar for that thing in the basement".   Man, was I ever in the dog house when I brought that cabinet home  ;D   
I'm thinking of getting custom side art that says "The Mrs GameCab hates me Cabinet".  Oh She would be P O'ed   ;D

Slap a coat of paint, some T-molding, front glass, and art on that, and I bet she changes her opinion.

I'm actually thinking of building one really similar to that.

I like that no marquee/two piece look.

You must also install Frogger, Q*Bert, and Ms Pacman and force her to play a couple games of each. Then slowly back away.

If that doesn't work, divorce her. You don't need a close-minded wife like that.

I was thinking more on the lines of a reverse "A Clockwork Orange" :).  Although we all know that if my wife had her way, I would be the one in the chair having water dripped into my eyes while 5000+ Video Games flashed accross the screen while Journey music was playing in the background. :)

.....  You can't play "Wheel in the Sky" .... It's Sin!!!!.....


All Kidding aside, It is screaming to become a Juke Box. 

If anyone is interested in the plans for this just let me know and I'll draw up a cad file for it.  Send me a PM.

Gotta Run
