I don't know if he's a member here, but on Digital Press he's a well respected member by the handle "Flack". I recognize the arcade setup and that damn hypnotizing checkerboard flooring anywhere.

Why do all the guys with big game rooms also fill it with sports stuff?

The two dont mix well.

If it is it looks like a bad conversion(s). Maybe 2?

Probley is Spike i see more converted cabs like that these days insted of the orginal red cab.

It is definitely a converter two-slot.

Tron 2.0: In my city, I've only seen one converted cab out of the, I don't know, five or six that are left in the city. It was a converted one-slot, actually, with Bust-a-Move (big surprise...if it wasn't that, it would have been a World Heroes game!)

Does is seem to be like converted cabinets are becoming more and more prevalent?

On topic, cool to see not only classic games but the Neo get some attention!

It's true, a lot of arcade collectors do indeed do that, but not all of us. There's not a single piece of sports memorabillia in my arcade and there never will be either.

I've always been a game geek, not a sports geek.

I'm not sure but they do seem more common and what's with the price for converted cabs? They seem to go for a lot more then the orignail ones?
