Cool, fugly, gimmicky... just post 'em.

Tapper is actually a really fun game to play at the arcade, shame it gets so overlooked for the other "classics"
I love these older enclosed sit down cabinets. Monaco GP is a really good game, too.
I guess the Naomi's still retro. no?
And this was like PSX HW?
Pretty sure I saw this one on an old movie...

Yes!

I spy 18 Wheeler and OutRun 2.
>>3310438
You wouldn't have to worry about inference with that cab, as it's basically a Faraday cage. Maybe they didn't want the men in black monitoring them to see what game they were playing through TEMPEST-Van Eyck CRT emission interception...
>>3310481
At this risk of taking the bait there's one in Soylent Green.

ok thats sick af
Double Dragon II cabinet
This one had a little plexi window/lighting setup that both simulated the laser and helped to aim.
Pretty neat and a big step up from trying to use the peep sight on Operation Thunderbolt, haha.
Played this one once. Ashamed to say I couldn't exactly figure how2horse since the thing was in moonspeak.
Not pictured: the two pedals that controlled the tracks. I'd play a modern VR version...
I remember the vibration on this thing's gun to be rather strong.

>Beyond 2000 story on the Battletech Centers when they debuted in the early 90's. Unfortunately they were not as lucrative as they could have been and FASA eventually would be bought out by Microsoft and the Battletech franchise would become a shadow of it's former self.
I will never not bring this game up when ever I can
>>3311062
I remember this shit. Wasn't there also a fighting game? I only saw it once and it was at a pizza place.
>>3311060
*brofist* Keep the classics alive, man.
>>3311070
Yeah, Holosseum it was called. That was supposed to be the next generation...probably best it didn't work out that way, though.

>>3310473
It was a low spec PowerPC based machine but it had a Voodoo 2

The wheel worked surprisingly well for an isometric racer
This thread is completely fucking awesome.
I've heard the cockpit/sitdown cabinet of this is very rare. Is that true?
Anyone seen any in the wild?
>>3314218
Is that a noose?

>Garnet Hertz's video game concept car combines a car-shaped arcade game cabinet with a real world electric vehicle to produce a video game system that actually drives. OutRun offers a unique mixed reality simulation as one physically drives through an 8-bit video game. The windshield of the system features custom software that transforms the real world into an 8-bit video game, enabling the user to have limitless gameplay opportunities while driving. Hertz has designed OutRun to de-simulate the driving component of a video game: where game simulations strive to be increasingly realistic (usually focused on graphics), this system pursues "real" driving through the game. Additionally, playing off the game-like experience one can have driving with an automobile navigation system, OutRun explores the consequences of using only a computer model of the world as a navigation tool for driving.

> [Clay] salvaged an old Williams Defender, coating the sides with a cocktail of drywall compound, sand, and paint to achieve a stone texture. He then carved up some pink insulation foam into a tattered “wooden” frame and used it as a monitor bezel. For accents, he fashioned strips of latex to resemble torn flesh and placed them among the boards. The control panel is yet another work of art: [Clay] 3D printed a life-size human femur for the game’s joystick, and converted the buttons to look like eyeballs.
>[Clay] decided to go beyond the stunning cosmetics, though, and tapped into the game’s CPU with a custom daughterboard that detects different in-game events and state changes such as player health. An ATMega165 uses four PWM outputs connected to a number of LEDs inside the cabinet and around the monitor bezel to react to the different events. If a player takes damage, red lights flash around the monitor. Inserting a coin or dying in the game causes a different set of LEDs behind the marquee to go nuts.
the game itself is the generic 70's shooting gallery.
but the cabinet it's pretty cool, especially the big bazooka.
>>3315126
Holy shit, I want that, gimme that now!
Posting a build I did a few months ago.
This is my favorite thread in all of /vr/ right now.

Interesting design, saves a lot of space I see.

Haha, nice.

>>3314002
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Looking at the inside, the electro-mechanical parts appear much less complex than a lot of pinball tables. It works like a Stylophone, and it doesn't look like the circuit layout is a hell of a lot more complex than a Stylophone either.
Not retro, but does anyone design new EM games like this?
>>3317353
Of course not there's no commercial viability so they're only ever constructed as one-off demonstration projects with varying degrees of complexity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTBcxr9KBuQ
>>3317353
Closest thing to a modern EM I've seen are Foosball tables with additional features (covered playground, annoying sound fx, automatic ball serving, LED score board, etc...).
If GCCX is an indication, Japan has still tons of cool as shit (and still working!) EM games.
>race buckets

I got to play this bad boy last week. it's very comfy.
This is totally not retro, but I makes me wonder how it would've went if the western rhythm game craze happened in the 80's arcades before home consoles were capable of audio playback.
>>3314218
Not recently, but a local arcade had one back in the day.

The early light gun games were all these super primitive machines like that in the 70s that used like light up spots and weren't even computerized or with graphics or anything.
Nintendo's initial games in the genre for NES were like proper video game versions of that.
>>3314218
The round table actually had one of these but they disabled the sound. The restaraunt moved, but it only moved on the other side of the shopping center, so I'm not sure if they still have it.
Japanese really go all out with the fighting games
Anybody remember this?
>>3324269
wtf is that in the corner? photo bombing cat?
>>3324284
Speaking of punching, this game was awesome. You could take a picture of your friends' faces and clobber 'em.
They'd get all hilariously deformed.
>>3324456
Heard the initial batches of the prequel of this had shitty padding so retards that didn't use the gloves injured themselves.

>>3310976
I miss this game. Though it got to the point where I think I was the only person playing it at the arcade that had it.
>>3319695
One of the markets where I am had one like it. Unfortunately all the lobsters would hide out in the corners where the claw couldn't reach.
>>3324869
Is that a 2 player version of Warlords?
>>3324996
Local laser tag used to have one of those machines, sitting right next to Punch-Out!! and T2 pinball. Needless to say I never played Police Trainer.
![Warlords-SC3-Arcade-Machine-2[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/WLmDTW1.jpg "Warlords-SC3-Arcade-Machine-2[1]")
>>3325327
Yes. If ever there was a dumb game to put in a standing cabinet.
>>3325980
Been too long since I've seen an arcade token.
>>3325978
Anyone ever played a cocktail cabinet machine irl?
>>3324645
Yes.
>>3325975
how the fuck you gonna play pool with some pimple faces assholes blocking your stick movement?
Home arcade .... pff
>>3327220
Yes. Christ, we're not all 17 you know..
>>3327220
Yes. There's actually a ms pac-man one in a pizza shop not far from my house. Apparently its a tweaked version because ms pac-man goes ridiculously fast
>>3312232
>the hammer
>>3312228
Given that driving games and gun games are still popular in arcades, Lucky & Wild 2 seems like a good idea.
>>3310453
what I'd give to get my hands on one of those
>>3327220
They were a lot more prevalent in Japan before the fighting game craze, since a lot of arcade games were never available in dedicated cabinets unless they were a racing or gun shooting game. You only got the PCB and a few instruction sheets.
>>3327617
What?
>>3310901
this cabinet is seriously beautiful. i would give anything to have it. that or a house of the dead 2 cabinet.
Arcade by my house is well stocked with Blast Citys. I absolutely love this cabinet, I know it goes against the general grain of the thread, but goddamn, this cab is the tits
>>3327220
I had a friend that owned a Bump n Jump type cocktail cab, it was used mostly to store shit on because a button was busted.
I've played one recently in a bar that was one of those "50 in 1" type deals
which one would you pick if you could own just one?
>>3323907
>cringe af
I'm sure you've created much cooler things in your lifetime you fucking faggot. You're cringe af.
>>3327220
One of the two movie theaters I regularly frequent has a bunch of Ms. Pac-Man cocktail tables.
>>3328551
I'd rather play Magic Sword, but I'd rather own a Willow cabinet.

we had these tokens at my local mall arcade (rip)
>>3328906
Those are AWESOME.

idr my cab lookin like this at chuckie cheese
>>3330091
Well it did.
>>3330085
I'll never understand Konami of America's obsession with stupid looking live-action people on their cabinet art.
>>3330110
rip konami
;_;
>>3330110
i remember this marquee tho
>>3330115
Probably he same clowns that always got alternate boxart made for anything that looked slightly cartoony/japanese
>>3330126
and stick design like this
>>3330129
At least other companies would use comic book-like artwork on their cabinet. Only Konami used actual people on all their cabinet and flyers.
>>3330126
>>3330134
Maybe it's the Oceania variant.
>>3330138
nope, this was a chuckie cheese in upstate new york in the early 90s
>>3330178
That would be the World version of SF2WW.
>>3330187
Yeah but never the less a cabinet was here in Ohio and had obviously seen many years of service before I got it in 1998.
>>3330215
Could have used a wipe down but fuck it
How are the MAME arcades?
Do the roms load well and play like you're playing the original arcade machine?
>>3332049
Some, sometimes. Depends on the setup.
>>3330115
I think it's based because it's so bizarre.
>>3332024
Please do not wipe or remove the dirt on that time machine preserved from the 90s. It looks like a beat up tank from 7-11. Dont clean it.
>>3317173
Love that this follows the Famicom color scheme
>>3332102
Yeah, that's actually pretty cool.
>>3328906
We had an arcade called the fun dome in Clearwater Florida that had tokens like this I think. It was a giant water tank filled with arcade games.
>>3332086
can you recommend a good set up?
I don't know shit about arcades, let alone building one
>>3332182
It's mainly about getting the video output right with a hack driver like crt_emudriver. Then you just need to use proper controls and write them up correctly and to avoid the temptation to run games that the hardware isn't powerful enough to run but MAME can easily be set to show you its frame rate so you can tell for sure.
>>3332252
Thanks for the advice man, I'm going to look into it more
remember when SF2 cabs were everywhere?
Like outside small corner stores and in burger places?
>>3332915
Pizza places always had a Street Fighter II cab and a Ninja Turtles one, and usually a pinball machine, either Addams Family or T2.
>>3310425
Don't tell me what to do booger flicker.

>>3333957
Too accurate.
>>3325975
h-hey bro, we were best buds in high school, remember? Can I come over?
>>3315124
It's neat looking but it also seems like it'd be really uncomfortable to play.
>>3333903
Post'em, nerd.
>>3335005
It's kind of ugly but fits the goofy ass B-Movie theme of the game perfectly. I mostly dig the part where they managed to capture events from the game and wire them to the cab's lighting. There's plenty of potential on that shit for immersive gimmicks, kinda like the light up buttons from the spy hunter cab.
>>3335049
The game itself was hard to play. Splatterhouse was a straight up side-scroller iirc so the femur controller wouldn't have been too bad. All the custom doodads and shit look so expensive though. No cheap looking stencil art slapped on the cabinet either. It looks just like an old sewer or something with an iron cover for the service box. I wonder how much more this cost than your average cab.
>>3335062
I can't read btw. Nice custom job.
>>3332049
The control scheme is important. Marble Madness isn't the same without a trackball.
>>3333916
holy fug
>>3333916
Feetfags weren't invented yet.
>>3335476
A trackball is maybe okay considering how many games use it and that it can navigate Windows. You'll never have all the dials, twinsticks, drums, giant butts etc to play every single game though and the more you try to put on your panel the dumber it starts looking. I think generally it's best to just have some hidden USB ports and some various accessories tucked in the back or better yet to build additional cabinets with novel controls - been really wanting to get hold of a comfy gutted racekar cab myself to build on.
>>3338176
I'm sure I can stick a trackball and a racing wheel on here somewhere.
>>3339120
Those bottom two rotate, don't they? Gross.

I don't even know what this game is, but I hear about this cab all the time. The button layout is my absolute favorite.
>>3339543

>About a year after Race Drivin' was released, Atari put out Race Drivin' Panorama, which uses 3 monitors to provide a 180ƒ view.
>(...)
>I got my hands on another Panorama so I could try the game with 4 side monitors(...)
>(...)
>There WAS a 5-monitor variation of Panorama on this hardware however, which was the police trainer. (...)The police trainer doesn't use the stick shift, but an automatic with the shifter behind the wheel. The police trainer has additional hardware so it can link up with several other police trainers, "review monitors", and other computers, one of which basically runs a laserdisc gun game to emulate what happens after the officer arrives on the scene. It seems to be a pretty impressive system.. I hope somebody can get thier hands on those ROMs someday.. I assume they should run normally on any Race Drivin' main board, other than the link functionality.

Looks like they use an ibm pc with windows rather than an atari st or falcon or tt
>>3310483
The two-sticks control scheme totally made this game. Awesome way to run and gun without having to think about aiming.

One of my favorite motion cabinets. The hydraulic seat shakes and bumps around differently based on what road surface you're on. When you go over a jump, all the motion stops, and then you hit the ground with a jolt of the seat.
The game is great too, basically "Namco Rally Championship".

>>3358564
>you will never ever find and play one much less own one
>>3310429
Does the screen flip as the players take their turns?
>>3358739
Yes, cocktail table games did that.
Dumb question, did publishers create separate software for table versions of games? Or is it simply a flag setting so the game knows to flip the screen and read from a separate set of controls?
>>3360249
MAME calls it DIP settings so I guess there was one or two of these guys to select different modes of operation.
>>3325635
Still my favorite, despite never beating it. I refused to do anything but fresh, solo, no machine gun, no grenades, high accuracy runs. My games usually ended at the end of the office section, right around the elevator. Remember all the secrets up to that point too.

I got to play Gunmen Wars again today. Third person shooter where two teams of power armor soldiers shoot it out. The gun controller works as an analog stick to move your character, and turning the gun left and right lets you rotate.
