I scored two of my most wanted cabinets last week from a most awesome OP. They were delivered today and shall be enjoyed all weekend long!

[Chuck D. Head]

Cool! Much better than shoes! What games are in the NeoGeo?

[Rex Dart]

Awesoooome, I'm extremely jealous.

Cute little Neo*Geo cab

What Midway machine is to the right? Looks like a Bally/Midway something or other without sideart... Tron maybe?

[Melissa Melville]

The MVS came with Puzzle Bobble, Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown III, and Turf Master. The op also sold me a box of 16 carts for next to nothing to go with it.

The shitty part was Tekken 3 was working at the OPS's warehouse, but during shipping tokens from the bottom of the cab got wedged in between the PCB's and created a circuit. When I turned it on it fried the board

Killer find on that 4-slot NEO-GEO cab! Even if the box of 16 carts are all bootlegs, next to nothing is an excellent price nonetheless.

[Melissa Melville]

They are all legit, with boxes and some art. The OP just wanted out of the arcade biz. It's all skill cranes, and redemption games.

I had to fight my hardest not to give in and buy an Area 51 that he had for sale. One of my all time favorite shooters.

Ah, the only shooter where you can survive five full minutes doing absolutely nothing

[Melissa Melville]

Ain't that the truth. It holds a very special place in my heart.

Way to go girl! You'll enjoy your Neo Geo for a long, long time. I suggest Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, Aero Fighters 3, Neo Bomber Man and if you can find it Viewpoint, which I'm still trying to find for my 4-slot for a semi-reasonable price.

If your feet are big, you could hollow them out and have the best shoes ever.

[LarcenTyler]

Very nice find.

[Austin]

Excellent buys.. although personally, I would have gone for a Tekken Tag..

[Melissa Melville]

Yeah, Tekken isn't going to last too long. I ordered a SFII HF board for it that arrived the same day as the cab. Now if only my stupid job would slow down I could do some work on it.

[Austin]

Yeah, time to add and wire up some extra buttons! That machine has a nice, large control panel area too, plenty of room to work with.

Very nice machines! I'm a NeoGeo fan and could never afford a nice MVS like you have there, so I converted an old cabinet that was being thrown out.

You can try all the games out via MAME emulation and then hunt down the ones you like!

Magical Drop III is a fantastic game, give it a try if you haven't already.

I have heard great things about Magical Drop. I am hoping to grab a copy. I am meeting with an op this week who wants to unload some carts.

The MVS's are coming down in price. They are not as expensive as they once were. A dedicated one slot goes for around $250 in these parts.

i wish my girl preferred cabinets over shoes. then i'd stop tripping over her goddamn shoes all the time.

....and they take up just the same amount of space. LMAO! Congrats on the find, Melissa!
