Coolest Arcade Cabinet of all time?

Most people use the term arcade as both the machine and the location.  By your logic these forums should be renamed to game controls.

Yeah, I was expecting a topic on arcades, not games.

Ignoring that, I really like the setup in those first pics. That's pretty cool.

Epyx:
Well here in Canada...an arcade is a place filled with "arcade machines" or "arcade cabs"...we never called a single machine an "arcade" always...we are going to the arcade to play games or going to the corner store/7-11 to play the "arcade machines"

Not sure where the arcade for 1 cab came from but no my generation/location ;)

EDIT: I see the OPs edit...mucho bettaro ;)

This gets right to the root of your misunderstanding. "Arcade Controls" doesn't imply a place.  "Arcade" by itself does. I'll admit that its a nitpick, but it matters here.

Yup
