Title: Help me ID this cab
Post by: johnnya on July 04, 2006, 10:49:33 pm

I got this neo-geo a while ago, and I ran out of room in the basement so this conversion has to go.  Before I sold it, I wanted to know what is was in its past life though.  If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it greatly.  TIA.

I'll take a stab at it and say Frogger.  :D

Nahhh, I'd say Phoenix - with a horizontal monitor and bezel...

I thought frogger too, but the coin doors don't match, and the front edge doesn't jut in toward the bottom, it's a straight shot down.

In  his picture, it appears that the front cabinet piece has been replaced, thus the different coin door.

Have you opened it up and looked inside? There are usually at least serial number stickers, and such which might answer this question, or provide further clues...

The Sega "convert-a-cab" was popular to copy for bootleg machines. Mine started out as Crazy Kong.
