    It's like the av trolley from our school. Only ours had a VHS with a safety video or something rather than that. Think we'd have preferred that being wheeled in.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I can only hope those are x2 coin buttons and x2 player buttons...

    Isn't that in danger of toppling over with over excited button mashing? Doesn't look very wide to me, more like a bookshelf width.

    That's really bad, where do you start? You'd break your wrists trying to use that steering wheel.

    Going by the height of the wheel compared to the sticks, I dont think you're meant to use your hands :D

    So, you sit on an arcade stool and use your feet?

    You don't mean a frank'n beans control set-up, surely?

    If that was on Reddit the first comment would be

    Is this what it feels like when classic car enthusiasts accidentally drive by a boy racer car meet?

    Did you catch that nsfw 'Zelda' side art?? Imagine the complete neckbeard basement dweller that would have that printed on a cabinet :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Oh yeah, I like how they clearly stated they didn't design that one lol

    I read this before I checked the link, and I thought nsfw Zelda art? How violently is Link skewering an enemy for it to be nsfw!?

    And then......oh :eek:

    Well it might not be such a bad deal if it comes with cash when collected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    That's it.

    Close the thread.

    This is never going to be topped.

    Cabinet with eight sticks, 52 buttons, and Zelda porn on the side, doesn't matter, look at the state of that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    2 strong mates required for collection too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    It looks like one of those things in a spy movie where he'd pull a lever and all the fine china on the dresser swivels round to reveal his security system :P.

    More Johnny English than James Bond though.

    It's scary some of the mad **** people actually see to the end isn't it?

    Ah no point, from original planning through to the 'Where will I place this in my living room?' did the person ever stop and think.

    It's honestly not the worst approximation of the 6 player men cab. They've got the bottom of it correct. The screen part they haven't but that it's an arrangement of 2 TVs and mirrors.

    To be fair the original is a chunky monkey too. They had one in a Dublin arcade back in the wonder years and it was a big piece of kit.

    It's a specialised pcb too. The regular X-Men pcb can be rom swapped between 2 and 4 players, but the 6 player is it's own thing.

    I wonder why they didn't raise the monitor up a bit and have that panel at the bottom with the character sheets?

    Wouldn't have made too much extra effort build wise and would have looked far better and more like the original.

    Still, not a bad effort. Especially when you're trying to create something as monstrously ugly as the original!


  • Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It looks to be arcade 1up sized

    It is a decent effort overall to be honest, it's like a large arcade 1up version of one, but the screen in it looks a disaster to play on, not sure where they were going with that.
