This thing is horrible! Anyone know what kind of cabinet this used to be?

And to think it houses such beauty as Pulstar inside its ugly shell.

i could be wrong, but im almost positive that that is an official neo cab.
I think they where a promotional cab for buisnesses or somthing?
I dunno, but i have seen them and read about them before.
i acually like em.

Why are there buttons on the face, near where the coin mechs would be?

I think those buttons give you credits . I think the cab is cool , the speakers are in a good spot so you can blast the sound !

When I first started playing Ninja Combat
when it came out, the machine looked like
this one. It must have been the first neo game
I played.

i dunno, but im almost positive there official, unless this one was made to look like it, and they added them buttons.
They even had one at a laundrt mat near my house.
I never noticed the buttons there.
They must of sold it cuz its not there anymore.

This was the cabinet that SNK made to appeal to the home gameroom user. I saw a flyer all about it awhile ago. So yes it's an original SNK cab. :)

I kind of dig the gold cab. It has that retro look going for it.

I'm sure those front buttons were added by a private owner to serve as credit buttons. Simply pressing one is the same as popping in a quarter in any normal arcade.


On the other hand, that 32" monster scared me... :eek:

A local pool hall near me has that gold cab with, I think, Metal Slug and one other game. Also, a bowling near me has a huge monster official Neo Geo cab, bigger than that that 32 inch cab someone mentioned on ebay.

I am going to be purchasing a gold cab that has the wood grain finish, the only thing I need to do with it is replace the pushbuttons. Nice cab though, I'm down.
