Glorious Arcade Cabinets

Post by samsonlonghair »

Let's play a game.

Post a picture of an arcade cabinet, then tell us why it's glorious. Winner gets ten awesome points.

I'll start.

Centipede is awesome for the side art. There's something about that illustration that really excites my inner nine-year-old self.

Now post an arcade cabinet more glorious than centipede.

First time i saw this contraption in the arcade i was awe-inspired, i had to play it, and it was as glorious as i hoped for.

When i found it it worked for MAME, i was brought back to my days of its awesomeness.

I can't imagine MAME comes even close to approximating the experience of a game like that. You gotta have that bike.

Prop Cycle was awesome. I don't know why there isn't more exercise equipment like that. I would work out a lot more.

I posted some cabs I enjoyed in another Thread started by Racketboy, a few gems there posted by others.

Maybe a merge of the two Threads?
