This is awesome to see here! I used to have a full cabinet that I sold about 20 years ago (Street fighter II), and I also had a bunch of different games/boards I could plug swap out inside with the standard jamma connector, but I had to sell it for way cheap, as I no longer had the space. REALLY wish I Had just stored it away until now after looking at ebay!...   :'(

Not my pic, but same exact thing.... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1a/ce/f6/1acef6f2e121a1f5c425d9f148434d0f.jpg

Good luck! I still crave a sit-down Ms. Pacman table or even Arkanoid, but again I have no space for it at the moment! :P

@Bitcoinwaist haha, not exactly what I am looking for  :D

@krogothmanhattan Thank you - I saw that one, its in US and pick up only, it would be a bit difficult to get it, I will see what other options that comes up first.

@JanEmil Thank you, I have send bozz / Martin an email, maybe he can dig one up somewhere :)

@owlcatz Yes, I feel with you, I regret that I did not keep my childhood toys; nintendo, amiga, board games, lego etc etc some of it is very rare today :o Neverthless, an arcade machine! how could you let it go??  :'(

@dolphriends Thank you - is there really any reason for you NOT to get a pacman arcade again?  :D

Bubble Bobble, one of the great Nintendo Classics.  I grabbed a copy for my NES off eBay a while back.  Seems like this would be an affordable machine if you could find it.

I still regret to this day that I did not keep my NES from my childhood, happy to hear you still have yours.
The arcades are around 2000-3000 USD depending on condition and the game, so yes definitely affordable.

I am currently trying to get in touch of the company that owns this specific machine there is on the pictures, if I manage to purchase it, then will I of cause post pictures with highscore: 1st BTC, 2nd ETH, 3rd XRP etc.  :D

Cheers

Yeah man, Bubble Bobble was one of my favorites as a kid--it was fun as hell to play, and I think I still have an old copy of the NES cartridge around somewhere (but no NES to play it on). 

I had no idea there was actually an arcade version of this, but then again I kind of stopped playing on arcade machines when the NES came out.

Yeah, I kept mine for years until it finally stopped working and then I threw it away.  I think you can still get working ones fairly cheap on eBay, but I bought the SNES Classic not too long ago and that's good enough for me.  I'm not a hardcore gamer anymore. 

And arcade machines are definitely collectible, and they're beautiful show pieces.  There's a lot of history behind each one in addition to all the fun playing them.  If I had a bigger place and thousands to spend, I'd probably buy one.

Bubble Bobble, Tecmo Bowl, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Super Off Road, Contra, Life Force... All get play on my NES. Although mine takes a bit of effort to get the games to start playing these days.

I’m surprised Nintendo never made an online portal for playing NES games online with friends. Really missed an opportunity there when they released the classic.

Located in the Los Angeles area
Not the original cabinet, but has the original board inside and some of the front cabinet decals/faceplate.
You can buy other cabinet stickers from other place to make this one complete :D

Thanks MJ

I already have a pending trade, just need to work out the details and payment.
The machine I am buying is extremely good condition, original controller boards, crt screen, new cabinet which is a replica of the original cabinet, new sticks and buttons, comes with all the theme stickers, looks like new, most important located in driving distance from me. I am pretty excited.

I will post picures when I have in hand.

Cheers  :D
