Title: Just got 2 new games Woot! (crappy pic :) added need indentfy
Post by: Dr Zero on July 13, 2009, 08:13:19 pm
I picked up a marvel vs capcom in the big cabinet and a generic cab with final fight but its a jamma cab so upgrades are possible.
They need some cleaning and some minor work but I'm stoked!

Anyone know where to get the marvel vs capcom manual?

I will try to get some pics of the unknown cab maybe someone will know what is it.

Sorry for the crappy pic but couldnt get good light, so anyways anyone know what it was and who made it?
The board says dynamo/jamma but I cant seem to match the cab.

OMG.. I HATE those Dynamo cabs with a passion!  Unless you are a Hobbit that extreme control panel angle will KILL your wrists!  I really don't know what genius came up with that design but its total garbage.  I have two of those one has Cabel the other Coor's Light Bowling.. Both are trackball games and they still kill your wrists.. Might be good for a sitdown cab though ;)

Yeah I had not seen one either and this one fellow had 2 one with Dragon Ball Z and this one.  The CP can be a bit to get used to compared to some games but so far we havent had any real issues with it my daughter is still enjoying the novelty of it right now  ;D

lol.. well I guess maybe I'm just weird..my last cabinet I made the panel entirely flat.  I like the panel to be parallel to my forearms.  I guess if you stooped over and rested your elbows on the front edge of the CP it would be comfortable (on your wrists..not your back!).. Otherwise you're bending your wrist at a 45 for an extended time.. not my cup of tea.  I think that arcade cabs have been historically designed for shorter people.  Either because they were aimed at children or because they were designed by Japanese.. not sure which :)

I think little people owned my house before me  ??? The sinks are too low and when I look in the mirror I can only see from about the chin down LOL

Maybe they are the same folks who built these arcade machines  :lol

haha..could be!  How old is the house?  I think people are getting taller than they were in the past.. I guess because nutrition is better.. we no long get the Typhoid, Scruvy, Yellow Fever.. or any of those other pirate diseases :)

Sorry guys, Brandon's avatar image is REALLY distracting.   ;D

I remember when I first saw those cabs. It had a Twin Eagle in it and the sound was jacked up loud! I liked it!
