I believe Bubble Bobble was a JAMMA game (I could be wrong, and I'm sure ill be corrected quickly if I am) and if it is JAMMA, it would be very easy to convert it to ST.

You're going to have to custom build a control panel obviously, which isn't too difficult - The only thing that might inhibit that is you're going to have to make things pretty tight to fit 6 buttons each on that space

Great, we're using terminology Im not familiar with now. I must be getting out of touch with this scene.

ST = Street Tighter?

Anyways, that's an original BUbble Bobble. THe giveaway is the original marquee.

I think it is fighting game forum lingo for Super Street Fighter II: Turbo, which tends to be their favorite Street Fighter II game.

It may have been a typo when Muffin Man typed it, but Kajoq used it intentionally and apparently thought that Muffin Man did too.

Pretty much all of the Stern cabs from that time period were identical. The bits of yellow around the seams and peaking through the front panel make me think it was Scramble.

It's amazing how many cabs were converted to Bubble Bobble. AFAIC, it didn't have a dedicated cabinet.
