I think that is a High Impact 4 player cab. Ive also seen these cabs used for Cyberball Tourney addition.

Doh too late.

Someone else already snagged it :(

So the cabinet is obviously a VS from all the pictures, but I couldn't find any High Impact Football cabinet pictrures online that look like it at all... how'd ya'll know it was that game in particular? O_o

And actually, now knowing it is (US) football, you can see the red helmets around the joysticks.

I saw this ad too, made a call and went and got it.

Yes it is a Nintendo Vs. cab serial number was still on it. It still had the original EZ-20 Nintendo monitors in it.

It did indeed contain the High Impact Football game.

It also fired up first try. There was a few issues with probably the caps on the monitor chassis, the colours were way off, but playable to the point I was able to manage 3 first downs and a touchdown.

I gutted it for the usable parts I needed, the empty cab and PCB are up for sale if you want it.
