Post by: rebeccaharper on December 03, 2009, 04:20:18 pm: Does anyone know if there are any other editions of Namco machines besides "Class of 81" and the "25th Anniversary Edition"?
Thanks!

The link shows a "cabaret" (i.e. "mini") cabinet, but I've seen a couple of the full-size upright cabinets and they are very pretty.

That is a nice looking cab.

Check around a local distributors. I've seen these closed out for $1899 a couple years ago.

Namco? Really?

There's also the Williams and Atari versions of their own.

I've played the full size version with the big monitors, and while it's awesome and all, it's almost too unoriginal. This cabaret seems like it might be pretty dang sweet.

Thanks!

What's your boss's budget? Knowing that, some informed suggestions can be made to help you (and him) figure out what he should be considering/looking at.
