Saw this thing on ebay - a bartop with a 60-1 multi jamma board in it. Very odd "half and half" design... Pretty fugly IMHO; thought I'd share it... I guess we can blame Midway for starting this trend with their current Galaga/Ms PacMan fusions.

That was indeed a misguided attempt to emulate (pun intended) the Midway combination cabs - it does fail. Badly.

They could have at least kept the same color trim. That would have helped a lot.

Yah you are right - the multi color t-molding is what makes it so jarring, probably even more than the 2 tone paint.
Design lesson of the day: KISS - keep it simple stupid!

The off center monitor really messes it up for me.

When I first saw that thing I though he was offering either 1 design or the other and had photo-shopped them together.
Then I looked properly and realized what an idiot he is.
