What my day looked like:

10 o clock, *opens eyes* Thinks of playing KoF 99 DC. And I go downstairs. I chekout my mail, the forums and then I go to ibazar.nl which is a dutch site with games for sale just like ebay. Ibazar and ebay will merge together in the future too. Can you imagine www.ebay.nl?? Cool... Well besides that I search for Neo Geo. And look what I found a Neo Geo MVS system with 2 games for $180. Yes $180 a MVS cab with Fatal Fury Special and Super Side Kicks 1.

I thought this is my number one chance. So I called my dad in the miday 12 o clock. And he comes home at 4 o clock. I call the seller and we drive 1 hour to his place. And buy the cab! Damn I'm so lucky <IMG SRC="smilies/drool.gif" border="0"> Finally home playing the games. Wow it defenetly is hard to play with a stick since I'm playing with joypads for almost 9 years or so. But after some hours training about 4 <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> I get the hang of it. I expected Fatal Fury Special to be fun, and ofcource it is allot of fun but I didn't expect Super Side Kicks to be that fun. Well I go playing now. Long live Neo Geo MVS!

Btw the cab is 1.65x0.75x0.60 meters. I can get a pick soon.

Congrats! Sounds great. I still want a cab myself, but I have yet to find one in my area. All the cabs I ever find are in CA, and I'm in FL, so the shipping charges are disgusting.

Darkneo, if you're in victoria there is Zax amusements at port melbourne, they sell Astro Citys cabs and the old Neo Candy 25 with a 4 slot.
www.zax.com.au

Good service but the prices are questionable, beats importing though.

Hiya lachlan :)

Thx mate for webpage. Just checked out their site, pretty good stuff and cheaper than someplace i have so far seen. There are a lot of places here in OZ land that sells Cabs, but they sell Mame converted Cabinets :eek_2: and they are not cheap for a PC shoved in a Empty Cabinet running on a Mame Emulator. I don't even won't to think about getting One of those not for the money they charging. But Zax seems like they have got some kool stuff i might give them a call get some prices see if they can also arranged delivery to Canberrra. if not i might be able to get a mate to pick it up from them.

Cheer's :)

You bastard... the cheapest MVS Cab in here is almost 300, and is a one-slotted malfunctioning piece of junk... heck, the cab is all demanged... and it even isn't the original cab!!!
