I don't know why, but I really liked the sky blue style of Nintendo arcades of yore...

Now that I look at the machine that started it all...I can't understand why "Mario" isn't the brothers' last name.
Think about it--- "Mario Brothers."
I'm thinking like Jimmy and Bimmy Mario. Not Mario and Luigi.
*sigh*


It's a crazy post 9/11 world we live in I tell ya.

One of our local arcades just closed after about seventeen years, because some contractor bought the property with the adjoining stores to tear them down and build new buildings.

Anyway, after the guy was moved out, some friends of mine and I got a chance to go over to the old arcade and look around to see if he left any cool stuff. We found a gutted Mario Bros. Cabinet, like the one pictured above, that the arcade owner just left in there to be torn down. It's kind of sad. Of course, we also found a ton of magazines from 1982, so that's cool. There's even a video magazine that's frontpage headline reads: "Sony KO'd in Round Two: Beta Maker Vows to Fight Back." We got a chuckle out of it.

Anyway, good things did come out of the closing. The owner ended up selling me a pretty sweet Capcom CPS-2 machine, complete with the boards for Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Giga Wing, Alien Vs. Predator and Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom.

He also gave me a Stun Runner and a Nintendo Vs. dualsystem that he said didn't work. After reseating some of the cables, I found that both of the machines work fine, they just need to be cleaned up.

Quite an awesome haul, if you ask me.

Nice!

It'd be cool to own one of these. But they take up too much room. I'd probably go for the Ms. Pac Man/Gallaga route anyway

When I was around 9 or 10 I was at my great grandmothers wake. I was wandering around aimlessly and opened a random door downstairs, and this arcade machine was in a tiny little room maybe twice the size of the machine itself. Totally random, but a true story.
