The official UKVaC hall of shame cab thread

Be fun to be players 1 or 4 with the crazy angled layout
At least you get a better look at the really good side art

for all those 4 player 8 button games

Put a coin in bang your head then go home.

Yeah, never seen a cab where you have to crawl on all fours with a coin held between your teeth before. It gets worse... looks like player 3 and 4 sticks have been mounted at angles, instead of parallel to the screen. Utterly unplayable.

To be honest, I think player 1 and 4 are player 1 and 2 in cocktail table mode, as you can stand each side of the screen looking at slight angle for those classic 2 player Vertical games

My Rampage is like that, player 1 and 3 are supposed to be stood at angle so you can get round the CP, but you forget and wonder what's going on, that's with artwork on CP, I thought it was wired up wrong till I looked properly, takes some getting used to when it's like your going diagonal to the screen

Obviously they didn't look at cabs with big Control Panels and realise why they had the coin entry above the panel, you can't even see the coin door

Would love to know what Amusement Arcades these people went to, I've never seen any machines that looked like these

"yo dawg, I heard you like pallets, so we stuck a pallet in your pallet and mamed it"

For some reason, that thing reminds me of Marvin, the paranoid android.

It's alright guys, if anyone needs a pickup and transport of one of these I can just throw it in the back of my car:

Part of any new mame build must be side art made from random mario bros stickers
Seems to be a popular choice

Goes hand in hand with 16:9 lcd screens
wonky joystick layouts with far too many buttons and arcade classics marquees

If there isn't any of these threads on car Forums there should be

the state of some replica's I've seen is superb, I watched Perfect Road Trip DVD with Hammond and Clarkson, can't remember if it was 1st or 2nd but one of them they race two like that, quite funny

Was thinking that with both of them to be honest
