    I'm resurrecting this one,
    it was always fun to post up the horrors we are often exposed to.
    This one is a crusty old arcade cab, with a button configuration not designed for human hand

    Is that the worst colour purity a monitor has ever seen or is one of the crt guns broken I wonder?

    Looks like it needs a demag at a minimum with the discoloration of the text towards the edge of the screen

    What do people be thinking with button layouts, between Aircraft Carriers & weird un-dextrous positions….

    Bit more than the edge, the Metal Slug 3 logo text should be red, not green :D

    Can't be giving the kids throwing their 10p coins into machines any advantages!

    Its actually quite interesting when you think about it, clearly a cabinet made by someone who was told they needed to include six buttons for each person but hasn't actually played any six button videogames.

    i reckon these cabs where 2or 3 button and following that path of yellow below so really no other way of adding 6 buttons neatly,not that they should, I'm not condoning it just seen it all too often this god awful layout should have just left it at 4

    The seller is full of mad brown - that cab is a Noraut Poker conversion. 😎

    €600? Someone is having a laugh...
