I've never seen or heard of one in my collecting years. I've never even seen a converted one come up.

They did exist as I know two people that remember them in the arcades in the 80's. And there's obviously the London ATEI picture above.

When one finally (hopefully) comes up I will be all over it

Wish I had photo's of the one in Leicester

It was popeye cab, not sure which type, poss just a jamma cab, though most of the machines in that small arcade were not just jamma boards, though Double Dragon I have no idea, Rolling Thunder was original cab, Road Runner and Rampage too, which makes me sad that I sold the Rampage cab due to space lack of again. 1942, Green Beret, POW not sure

I would love to have pics of the place and machines there and replicate it with all the same cabs, can still picture it and where the cabs where, but no damn idea what the cabs looked like

Place is still there but I can imagine walking in to find all fruit machines now, as half of it was in the 80's

all cool pics!

All I have is my VR machine... and a couple of old Amigas.

I would like a cab of some sort.. maybe Dayton Sit down! tho I know I cant fit it along side mt VR and Johnny 5, in my garage!

Tho maybe one day, I plan to fit a PC in mt VR machine, and have it combo VR / Other game machine.

mmm Daytona in VR :D lol

I`m going to start a thread in the Virtuality section, to see what games people would like to see in VR :p
