Neo Geo MVS Arcade/Business

[Hubes22]

I came across this beauty last weekend at our local Godfather's Pizza. They also have MS6 on another machine. I can see a lot more Godfather's Pizza in my future.. Haven't seen one around town in a long time... Small town Montana here and not many places with arcade machines anymore. Anyone else with a local business around that still has one? I'm debating on approaching the amusement company to see if they would be willing to sell it. Anyone know what this would be worth, as is? Restoration cost?

the first time a came across a king of fighters 94 arcade was at a pizza shop in tottenham. but arcades are pretty much extinct here in london.

If that cab is making money for the op, you'll most likely either get a no or some silly price to buy. Never hurts to ask though. Metal Slug 6 isn't a Neo game by the way, it's an easy version hack of Metal Slug 3.

I came across 2 machines with aero fighters 3 and Bust a move again in them in a bowling alley near me.

Dude I freggin love GodFather's! They all closed all their locations in my area like 12 years ago. They always had an MK1 ,Killer Instinct 2, and a few random pinball machines. Plus the pizza is delicious.

Old machines like this in places like that will make a steady income...doubt the op will sell, but i would definatly try though!!..
If there's two cabs there...they must be popular.
That cab in the UK would prob fetch £500 ...i have never seen any US cabs here though, plenty of Candys mind

I plan on calling them later this week just to see what they say. Sammy Atomiswave on the MS6, correct?

Godfather's is money. We use to have two in town but the other location closed a few years back. Their taco pizza is the best.

Can't hurt. Good luck.

Correct.

I have seen these around here for $300-400. The restoration would probably be around $50 assuming you are only going to fix that right hand panel. The overall shape of the cabinet looks good.

Good luck!

For a cab in public it honestly looks in really great shape. Definitely looks like some wack bondo or something under that panel though.

Amazing. Another Montana native here, I found this thread while looking for a resource for public machines out there. So this is in Billings, then?

I myself own a Neo that is located in my family's restaurant, hence the search. Is there any such list or thread for these finds, or is this it?

Honest question - does the Neo pull mad revenue these days or what?

 

[Squid_Wizard]

Mine doesn't, but its spot is perhaps not ideal. It makes a little less than $300 in the six months out of the year we're open.

Great cab man!

I guess that's not too bad, considering maintenance is probably next to nothing. I've always wondered what cabs like that make on location.

I'm always game to plug in a few quarters whenever I see a big red in the wild (which is almost never), but I guess I'm a bit more biased than your average restaurant patron.

Location depends and the games depend as well. Buddy of mine who runs a route still makes about $60/ week from a 4 slot he's got on location at a hispanic restaurant/ bar. Just got KOF '98, 2nd Squad, PB, and MSX in it.

I actually have a one slot on location with Metal Slug 3 in it. It was my best performing game of three.

Yeah, it's modest, but I'm not complaining. Our restaurant is primarily an outdoor dining experience, and the lobby-like area the cabinet is in is kind of cramped. Puzzle Bobble and Metal Slug seem to be the most popular, but most people who put coins in (mostly little kids) don't seem to know how to switch to the game they want, if they realize there are multiple in there. But it's all good, I make enough quarters to buy a few new cartridges at the end of the year, and the only maintenance I really have to do is unjamming the coin slot from time to time. I put new controls in when I bought it about five years ago, and they're holding up fine, despite my patrons' insistence on pounding the buttons as hard and loudly as possible.

At least you're getting enough to buy the new carts. If I ever do put one on location, I really want to put either rare games or newer games (such as NGEV.TEAM) stuff in it. Would be cool to see a fans eyes light up at the sight of a NEW NG game or just play one they've never seen.

Yeah, for sure. Here in Montana, I'm just happy when I hear someone recognize a game at all, heh. I know a few locals around here who appreciate my machine, though. And there was a high school kid who attended the band camp thing here every summer who is wicked good at Puzzle Bobble. Shoutouts to BEN.

I run mine with rare and fun titles, mix it up for variety. Metal slug and kof98 have always been the heavy hitters, but we have plans to do a magical drop tournament based on how many people have come in just to talk about that game. Nobody likes turf masters Q_Q

Never thought I would see someone else on this forum from Montana.. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Yes, this one is located at Godfathers Pizza in Billings.

What restaurant in Red Lodge? It's been a few years since I've been up there. I use to spend a lot of weekends up there when I was still in party mode.
