Think about it.

Candy Cabs are toys for children. Look at the shiny plastic ooh, straight out of Toys-R-Us.

Wood Cabs are for Men. They are not toys, they are Furniture, they are massive, strong and intimidating.

Go ahead and play with your shiny toy, I've got a monster to fight with. Can you put a Candy Cab next to a Billiard Table? No, you cannot. You'd instantly lose all the billiard balls, and then all you'd be left is a table with a green felt top, because there are no balls with Candy Cabs.

I would never buy a Candy Cab or any other pretty little toy Playskool Cab from Japan, it's all about the rugged Big Red.

Are you a man, or are you a child?

I think this thread deserves another

I see you have a good piece of Furniture. Good.

Candy Cab is a Macauley Culkin, Big Red is a Bruce Campbell.

Yeah, that's why they're not for children or women.

Are you a woman?

I think you could find yourself a nice supergun, maybe play it in the kitchen.

you forgot that real men face a challenge standing tall while the women sit.

seriously tho i dont get this whole candy trend. the arcade games i grew up with had unique designs with beautiful artwork. these JPN cabs people are raving about are just completely generic and boring.

JPN cabs are made of metal and PLASTIC hows that more durable?

I have no idea what JVS is since im a classic collector but while rewiring a cab and installing a monitor isnt exactly fun i think you will agree its far from hard.

I used to have a wooden cab. They are not practical. Plus, I enjoy the standard sit-down format of candies.

I wish I had a candy...

nicer how? do you prefer to sit down? do you like being an inch or so closer together? is it the bigger screen? or do you just love balltop controllers and arched button configs? at the end of the day its all preference but to me they look like tvs with a control panel attached or a fancy supergun. they hold no nostalgic value at all and that to me is part of the experience.

candies are typically 30" wide, woodies are usually 25.5" so im not sure how candies are closer together.:spock:

i prefer the arced button layouts but its no big deal really.

the bigger screen is nice.

Yes, who would want a candy in their house when they can have this:

Candy cabs are cute. For gnomes and elves, you know, the fruitiest of creatures.
I prefer my gigantic beast of a machine. It is a cornerstone of my living space. :angry:

Candy cabs are for the kids who love teletubbies and anime. Now "ARCADE MACHINES'' will put hair on your chest, and make you very popular among the ladies.

What about people who go with the Supergun direction?

Are they faggots?

Would love a cab, but no space.

I don't know what this means.

In any case, a nice dedicated US cab is definately a nicer cab than Japanese cabs for the simple reason of side art. Standing or sitting is preference and you can sit on a stool to play a woody if you want. If you want a cab for more general gaming a candy might be nice, but take a look at some classic dedicated arcade cabs in the US and tell me that they aren't basically works of art.

Sure I can pull 100 converted dynamos out of my ass that belong in a bonfire, but that's not the issue.
