Maybe it was a SFA3 when you got your hands on it, but in a former life it was probably either a TMNT or a Simpsons. That's a Konami wide cabinet.

I saw a set of Simpsons sideart on ebay if you want to restore it completely. If you just wanna make it a SFA3 again, though, that's up to you.

Close... It was a Crime Fighters game by Konami, but i'm going to make it my multi jamma fighting game cabinet(6 button layout).

It will soon feature:

1. Street Fighter Alpha 3
2. Tekken Tag Tournament
3. ?
4. ?

let me know what games you would put in the last 2 spots.

I'd put in a Soul Edge or Soul Calibur in there. If you want to add an original MK, I could probably round up a board for that. I'm also a big fan of the Street Fighter EX series, but alot of people don't seem to like it as much.

3. Neo Geo MVS mobo (with Last Blade 2 most of the time, were it me)
and...um...
4. Maybe Daraku Tenshi or a Dead or Alive?

Actually, I was outbid on a Soulcalibur kit,
and I have already secured a 4-slot Neo Geo machine from a local operator friend

 I like Street Fighter EX series, it's a lot like Tekken, what about Virtua Fighters? Are they good?

I was never much of a Virtua Fighter fan. I'm all about KI, but those aren't cheap.

Any more horizontal game suggestions? It does not have to be a fighter.

Well if you're using a CPS2 or NeoGeo you'll be able to switch out games on the fly and not be limited to just a few.

For CPS2 I highly recommend Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo and Super Gem Fighters: Mini Mix. I don't think either or cheap, though.

I'd throw at least one puzzle game in there, though.

You seem to already have a Tekken Tag board ready to go, but I have a Tekken 3 PCB I don't need if you are at all interested.

The entire cab has been primed, and i hope it wont get flooded out because we are getting some outer bands from Emily, and my garage floods easily  :(

Or you could wait to see if it floats.  They you could name it "Noah's Arcade".

(my guess says it wont float, but then again, I would never guess an aircraft carrier would float :) ).

Looks good so far.  What color are you going to paint it?

Everybody in Texas has cinder blocks. Gives us a place to put our cars!

I haven't even cut my control panel in the time it took you to make that whole thing! Good job.  :P

(But then again, I'm very lazy.)

That's a very nice cab.  You should add Street Fighter 3: Third Strike in it as well  ;)
Title: Re: Jamma Fighter Cabinet **DONE!**

Actually, as good as that game is, i'd avoid capcom play system 3 stuff at all costs unless you know how to proprally swap the securety cart battery.  The problem is if that battery dies, kiss sf3ts goodbye ;D  If you want that game in the cab, hack a dreamcast, or a ps2, whatever.
