Post by: Harpal on January 03, 2006, 07:10:38 pm

I don't buy stuff from a SNAKE, but thats just me. I guess you missed the whole ULTRACADE fiasco. I dunno how many here actually bought thier products.
My only advice:
1. Don;t buy from a SNAKE  :o

eccs19,

Just do a search on BYOAC,

Type ULTRACADE,  in search

Maybe along with these words:

THEIF

M@@THER F@@KER

J@CK@SS

PUNK @SS B@TCH

You will probably then get the whole story on ULTRACADE.

The thing is, you can disregard the Ultracade rep around here. $1500 is still ALOT for what you get.

Why Susan?

That's from a In Living Color skit, basically insulting your manhood - j/k of course...

Did you want to know, or did you have another girl name in mind?

It's retro, and as such belongs on this board.

Okay, Let me explain something to y'all...I help out with conversions and monitor repairs at a friend's amusment biz. They buy the Ultracade kits, I install them. They buy whatever earns well. Ultracade kits are easy to install, have great emulation, and earn well...esp. SFII

Do not flame me

I can put together a SFII cab for well under $150, just from parts off of Ebay. If that's the only game that's bringing in the money on that cab, then I would rethink the Ultracade purchases anbd buy some old SFII cabs. You can throw a new monitor at them and still be under $1500.
