Video Game "Look what I found"

[o.pwuaioc]

Awesome. Great game from the era of Konami cheesy photo shoot cabinet artwork. I totally forgot that had a real April on it.

And a badass spandex Shredder on the marquee!

I think we're going to need another picture of that marquee.

It is truly an awful picture, and her legs look unnaturally short. I feel sorry for the poor women who posed for that photo...

In any event, it is a spectacular find. The complete lack of a good home version of the original TMNT arcade games makes that is one of the few arcade cabinets I would consider owning.

-kick harness for 6-button goodness (in case he gets some 5/6 button games, and I'm sure he will)

Nice / clean Astro.

Hate that bezel though - just doesn't look right on that cab

Some nice games, quality over quantity, for sure.

Is Pro Gear JP or US and is it a legit board or a conversion?

Do you mean where it says "Neo Geo" and "MVS"? Those are just stickers he put on. Totally removable. There are a couple of cig burns on both corners of the control panel (more on the right corner), but they aren't too bad.

For anyone curious, here's a video of a Sega NAC with the screen in tate:

Yup, he definitely went for quality stuff. Pro Gear is US and is legit, although it's been Phoenixed (as it should be, IMO!).

I prefer phoenixing as well, however collector's will pay more for a board running on battery. Phoenixing does have some side effects on occasion.

If it's an original blue board, that is a rare find - not many of those around. There are far more conversions around than originals, particularly blues.

Yeah, the MVS and Neo decals clash w/a sega cab, imo - just looks a bit odd, plus anything on the bezel is going to look funny when he goes TATE, assuming this is the same buddy who has DDP II.

I do believe it is blue. I can post a picture when it comes in if you are really curious.

Yup, same guy. He has a line on some OK Babys (all plastic; no wood), so he just wants to tate on of those and play verticals on that one.

Yeah, it is a bit amusing seeing Neo Geo and MVS written under Sega, but he likes it so it's cool.

By the way, what is the difference between Knights of Valour and KoV Plus?

[mjmjr25]

I'd have to pop them in, the differences between:
Knights of Valour
Knights of Valour 2
Knights of Valour 2: Nine Dragons
Knights of Valour the Seven Spirits
Knights of Valour Plus
Knights of Valour Super Heroes

Are very tough to keep track of. I believe Plus plays nearly exact to the Original, just has added characters, like 12 playable characters I want to say.

Those are nice prices on RR and DQV. I'm not sure what DWD is worth. Can't say I care about Kirby too much.

Also, I think DQV is one of my top 5 (10 for sure) favourite JRPGs. It's my favourite DQ game definitely.
