Not sure why you were so bothered about the idea of putting it in storage until you had the room for it. I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

A 4 player TMNT (Simpsons is acceptable as well) and a multi-slot MVS cabinet are pretty much at the top of my list if/when I ever decide to get another arcade cab.

I wish I would have but it is in the past. I and am still thinking of ways to store some more cabs at other people houses. I have been also eying a MK 2 cab for the past six months that is now cheap enough to sell quick. I already have a Capcom Big Blue stored at my mom's house, maybe she needs an MK cab there too.

My want list is: (Green ones I have)
Neo Geo MVS
Capcom Big Blue
MK 2
Light Gun Cab (Area 51 or House of the Dead ect)
TMNT four player cab
Vertical Monitor cab
Sit down Driver (Rush, Sega Rally, Crusin USA or World)
A Pinball machine

One of the neat things about most of the NES era arcade ports is how many of the games were actually completely remade from the ground up. Often they were completely different from their arcade counterparts, and sometimes they'd be even better games. Ninja Gaiden comes to mind right away.

Actually, Ninja Gaiden was developed concurrently, by separate dev teams, for both arcade and NES platforms, so technically one's not a port of the other. (source)

Your point is still valid, of course. Contra NES > Contra arcade.

I really, really, really want to find a place that has a 4-player TMNT cab. Desperately.

I remember a Chuck-e-Cheese's I went to as a kid had one. Ahh, the days when Chuck-e-Cheese's had actual arcade games instead of bullshit "press the button for some tickets" games.

I just found an awesome place out where I live called Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum which has a lot of crazy contraptions, fortune telling machines and an arcade. The place is freaking amazing, but what made me squee with joy was the Simpsons Arcade Machine. If they had TMNT and the old X-men big screen beat-em-up....I would be in heaven.

If there was an X-Men Arcade machine there, that would really be Marvelous.

I actually saw someone selling a 6-player X-Men on craigslist here once. He wanted waaaaaaaay more than I could've afforded, but it was still really cool to see one for sale here.

I think he had Sunset Riders too.
