TMNT video arcade cabinet on ebay...

*discordiatookie* · 01-28-2007, 04:36 PM

Yeah, I know that there's a thread for ebay stuff, but this really is just too awesome, and needs its own thread!!! And yeah, I know I wrote TMNT in the title, but its actually a UK version, meaning its 'Hero' instead, but that kinda adds to the coolness of it!

I soooo wanna buy it, and I personally think that its well worth the £250 they're asking, but you need to pick it up and there's no way I could get the transport together to collect it. If I could drive, i'd have snapped it up in a second. But alas, I cant, so I can only look on in jealousy as some other lucky git wins it...

$250 is actually a pretty decent bargain when you look at its condition. Personally, I'd be more tempted to buy a North American version of the arcade. The whole "Hero" bit is just silly and the art's a bit spotty.

Very cool! And very different from the US arcade machine.

If I ever live someplace that actually has the space it would require, what I REALLY REALLY want is the TMNT pinball machine.

Something about seeing Leo in his comic bandana color makes it really cool but for nolstalgia's sake (and I'd rather not have to go to the UK for a "pickup only" item) I'd rather get the US version.

On that note, though...

I want a TMNT arcade cabinet sooo bad, but that's way too much. I wish it were summer because I would be able to make that person an offer. Turtles in Time is my favorite TMNT game, but I don't like the artwork of the cabinet. It would just be so sweet to have a TMNT arcade machine in my apartment next semester.

Sweet Jiminy Jesus, that's sick.

I concede that I'd prefer a non "Hero" Turtles cabinet, but 250 bucks for a coin op in that decent a condition is practically a steal.

Figures that I'm totally BROKE at the moment... *grumble, grumble*

That person indeed got a bargain, mine is the same as this, only it cost me £450 around 7 years ago although mine is in much better condition.

I actually prefer the UK cabinet to the US one, in size, control layout and artwork etc.

I now use it for all my konami 4 player boards "Simpsons, X-men, Bucky O Hare, Turtles In Time, Vendetta" etc. (pic below with turtles in time playing in TMNT cab)

Thats a original TMNT conversion, you can tell by the US side art and badly converted control panel, 1 channel mono sound etc... horrible half-arsed conversion, horrible rip off, i'd be suprised if that sold at all, its only worth it for the PCB.
