In his defence it seems to be for playing sf v on rather than real mame stuff. Also..beer holder!

Man the monitor is so far back! That annoys me the most about it as it would be annoying to play. You can tell I'm about practically over aesthetics! :P

o1s1n · 31-10-2018 2:14pm

Feck the screen, look at that Aggressors of Dark Kombat bezel!

Someone actually went to the effort of printing out a bezel with one of the most boring and mundane Neo Fighters, sat there with a scissors going 'DERP DERP DERP' and not only cut the game logo off, but the dudes head.

They then took the bezel, placed it on the arcade machine, stood back and thought, 'Wow, I'm actually a design god, I better post a picture of this online'

i thought it was Aggressors of Dark KoMortal Kombat.

I dread to think what happened to the candy next door to the wretched NeoMoKo chimera.

cursai · 31-10-2018 4:05pm

Stick a 300 in 1 into that. And some led joysticks.

That reminds me of the really old arcade machines that had physical shooting gallery or target type games set that far back behind the glass. (Missing the little metal gun on the control panel obviously)

It's a monstrosity anyway.

Really would love to know what four player game he has that needs six buttons per player.

Or maybe it's just in case you have a really smelly friend over, so you can both stand and play Street Fighter 2 from opposite ends of the aircraft carrier.

Jack burton · 01-01-2019 9:11pm

That trackball placement 10/10

CiDeRmAn · 02-01-2019 9:22am

So much counter-top!
I mean, after a dose of Pledge, you'd be slipping and sliding all over the place.
The trackball placement must have been recommended by a chiropractor looking to drum up business.

Doge · 02-01-2019 8:52pm

Its getting a lot of praise on the group too, probably by the same people that sneer at the Arcade1Up cabs on there!

Not sure if this was already posted, but this abomination was in a magazine - I can't make out what they did for the control panel....

o1s1n · 08-01-2019 1:55pm

The silver monitor bezel really sets it off...

Is it wrong that I like that. As a Nes cabinet , not an arcade cab.

that needs to be painted bright gloss yellow, so it'd look like a lego arcade table

I particularly like the wheels so that it can also double up as a hostess trolley to serve food AND impress your friends at the same time - this is how arcade games were originally meant to be played

It would have been far more effective if the stuff on the lower shelf had of been hidden away somehow, under the main table perhaps.
A wooden frame around the LCD, mounted directly on the table top would have been nicer too, I mean, it would still be sh1te, but at least consistent sh1te.

If you went in for a colonoscopy and that was in the room, you'd just assume it was part of the equipment.

It was an endoscopy, and I thought it was!

Turned out it was the consultant playing Microcosm!
