Bored at work on a Bank Holiday I was reading through 'mypinballs' RType restore thread and got me thinking if there was at least one of every type of Nintendo cab on these shores.....or for some rare ones in Europe at all.

I imagine that there are plenty of Popeyes. DKs and Mario Bros. But does anyone have a Monkey Magic a Radar Scope or an Arm Wrestling?

This might not really get off the ground but if you have cab then add a pic and let us see if we can tick it off the list. See if we can complete the list below.

Even if you don't own one but see one in the wild, add it to the list. An F Zero AX in some bizarre club in Hamburg is just as acceptable as a Vs Super Mario Bros in a garage in Hull.

Has to be an original cab - no scratch builds

Has to be running off the Original Hardware.

Official conversion kits (vs system etc) are allowed.

There is a Monkey Magic on these shores, at least 2 or 3 Radarscopes in collectors hands, plus a Space Firebird, one Sheriff upright. I don't remember ever seeing an Arm Wrestling cab here though!

I know Alex had lot from his videos.

As we don't have as much space here compared to the US. We get a lot of people with one cab from the same 4 or 5 games.

With Nintendo cabs 10 a penny over the pond people are more likely to take an old Popeye and make it a VS cab or something.

Less likely someone will do that on these shores I think as it's hard to find the cabs in the first place. And if you only have space for one Nintendo cab it's unlikely to be a VS Golf

random question but anyone seen a Nintendo Super System in the UK? I know they look terrible but wondered if many made it over to these shores, as rumour has it only 2000 were made.

I played one back in the day, seen a few on ebay over the years. I don't think there were many, not when compared to mega-tech.
