-
I think i am going to cry....blasphemy ;)
-
The only thing more insulting would have been turning it into a toilet :( :timebomb:
-
It doesn't even look very comfortable. :(
-
At least it has a phone so he can call the Samaritans when he gets suicidal and realises what he has done.

Hey don't give him any ideas for ver 2.

LOL! So, I am not the only one who calls a cabinet an Arcade!!! Vindication!!! Muhahahahaha!!! ;-)

Good lord.
I'm by far and away no purist, and but that makes even me cry.

i figured it out. He was trying to build a star wars Cockpit! i guess he didnt have the time to put the front together. Hey at least he has a soft cushion to sit on :dunno oh yeh mine doesnt have a phone, but who needs one these days i have a cell :laugh2:
-
It's more like the ultimate nerd throne.
-

Except that thing is not even an arcade machine anymore, so to call it an "arcade" is screwy on two different levels.
-

:'(
Ditto. Wow...
-
First thought I was like "awww that's such a waste", second thought was "wtf, ugly green phone? Ugly green phone with a corded handset? It's not even a Star Wars memorabilia one! ". Third thought "what a horribly awkward position for that phone...could he have mounted somewhere better??"...my forth thought involved swearing over my terrible luck trying to find this cabinet to actually restore. :angry: Some people should not be allowed to purchase tools! :soapbox:
-
W...T...F???
When I first saw the post, I thought you were joking. A bad joke, but a joke nonetheless. That is until I saw the auction itself.
Holy Hell... and for $500?!
Even MAMEing a cab like this would've been a better than the fate that befell this poor bastard.
What's the URL to the arcade hell site? This really needs to go there.

Here the link to the item:

This is an original 1983 Atari stand up video game that was taken out of service due to faulty video components. The housing was gutted then customized into a lounge chair with black vinyl cushions. It has the original overhead lighted marquee panel that still lights up when plugged in. The original video speakers are still in overhead with a grille cover and original Star Wars graphic on both sides. The speakers are wired so you can hookup your own home sound system. It also comes with a slimline phone so you can have a private phone conversation while setting in your lounge chair.
-
LOL :laugh2:
What a waste
-

It could be cool if he shaped the seat cover like this:

You can encourage your child while potty training.
"Great shot, kid, that was one in a million!"

Fortunately, i was able to stifle the spray reflex.... This time..
You're on notice Ginsu.
;)

Man, and here I thought I'd be the only one to find it funny....

Definitely brings new meaning to dropping a bomb.

Faulty video components? That's it?! I'm betting that could have been fixed.
...if only it wasn't a retarded price, this cabinet could still be restored!
Rip the seats out, cut new front panels, get NOS parts... hmm, perhaps this one's a lost cause. :'(
-
A stand up Star Wars game is like a 4 door car from the 60s, ...who cares?
Someone bought it for parts for his sit-down version and found something to do with the leftovers, good for him.
With $500 he can buy another stand up for even more spare parts.
;)

I know, but really, what's the point posting of the pic?

haha, way to date yourself there. ;D
Sure it's not as cool as the cockpit, but it still breaks my heart. :'(

What's the point of most of our comments? ;D
Maybe he was saying that Anakin was pissy about the cabinet.
-
He's about as hardcore as Edward Cullen. :lol

Anakin turns into Darth Vader. It's a reference to Star Wars.
Whoops, should I have put that in the spoiler tag?
;D

After Episode II, he might as well be a sparkly vampire. For me, he couldn't even redeem himself in Episode III. (Obi Wan is why I like Episode III)

Ep1, 2, and 3 don't even exist in my world. Along with The Matrix 2 and 3.
-
Ep1, 2, and 3 don't even exist in my world.
I'm not big on them. Only things I like about them:
Ep I: Duel of the Fates (both the music and the fight), Pod Race
Ep II: ?
Ep III: Profit
-
(Obi Wan is why I like Episode III)
I agree. He really carries that movie.
-
Ya might as well tear the front off of an old 60's lazyboy and slap it on the front of that turd.
I would almost pay the 500 dollars so I can get his address, just to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on his face
-

Buffy stakes Edward. The end.

Then Anakin runs up and teabags him. :lol

No. Now you just have someone to play with. I thought this time someone was actually talking about an arcade.
(Obi Wan is why I like Episode III)
I agree. He really carries that movie.
The only thing he was carrying was a bag o crap that was assumed by many to be a storyline.
-
He's about as hardcore as Edward Cullen. :lol
I had to get my wife to explain this one to me. I'm not into romantic comedies with vampires... ;D

Yeah, my wife is the only reason I know the name. Luckily, it's because she hates all things Twilight and rants about it often :D

On the KLOV thread about this thing, they were saying it has been around a long time. The Western Electric Trimline phone supports that claim as well. There was a time when a broken down vector game was next to worthless.

I completely forgot to post this classic that would go well with the Star Wars seat:

Ep III only had one saving grace, Jar Jar Binks finally shut the ---fudgesicle--- up.
-

No no, that just reduced it nearly insane levels of inanity.

What do you think this world be like if Jar Jar Binks was allowed to speak in Ep III? :puke
Admittedly, suicide rates would've skyrocketed, thus reducing the number of people on this planet thereby reducing the work force possibly preventing the economic slump we're experiencing. But that might be an argument best reserved for PnR. :dunno
-
I think this "star wars chair" (my heart breaks even saying it), should be posted on that site with all the crappy arcade cabinets. (The name of the site escapes me right now.)
And as far as Jar Jar Binks, he should be gagged and flushed down the closest "Star Wars Toilet".
-
sicker than sick,..now ive seen it all!...deserves to be in the hellcade hall of shame... though it does look somewhat comfortable... (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=97828.0;attach=136791;image)
-
though i wonder,..if you were to mod it to add a coin door,..youd drop a quarter, an instant massage chair would be possible....OR--a seat warmer to keep you toasty in those cold winter nights...

I was thinking Hellcade, since it's not MAMEd.

OMG !
Never underestimate the power of the dark site !!!!!!
:dunno :dunno
But uhmmm, what's this ?

You could probably find someone local who would let you do it for a whole lot less than 500 bucks :dunno ?

Ep1, 2, and 3 don't even exist in my world. Along with The Matrix 2 and 3.
And don't forget to eliminate all of the Highlander sequels. Those ones really baffle me since I thought "There can be only one". ???
-lkench
-
I like to pretend that after the fist one, no others exist (including the horrible TV series).
-
That pin couch is pretty good, actually. Well done. That game doesn't exactly fall into the standup Star Wars category.
-
Yeah, I thought the couch was pretty sweet.
-
I'd rock that couch in the gameroom, for sure
-
What's next? A Discs of Tron Environmental phone booth? :laugh:
-
With the side art that's available, you *could* make arcade-themed furniture for your game room without destroying anything original.
Not sure if that's the case with the Dr. Who pin couch, but it's definitely the case with the Star Wars phone booth thing. :cry:
-
Should Dr Who be a phone booth?
-
Should Dr Who be a phone booth?
Heh, good point!
Someone made a custom cab that looked IDENTICAL to Dr. Who's TARDIS. It was pretty awesome- but didn't use side art. ;)
-
I've seen that and, you're right, it is awesome.
