Here , gog.com are having an EA Sale , amongst other things Starflight 1 and 2 pack is 2 quid, great games and well worth checking out (graphically though the meg version is a lot better mind you !)

I don't think you would get a better price on it anywhere, just bring it home under the cover of darkness;)

The driving machine is approx 190cm x 70cm x 70cm. Selling because it does not get any use any more. Some of the branding on the box has been flawed over the years. Collection only

What a weird way of saying 'my kids have peeled the artwork off'

Those yolks are dreadful. Monster size an tiny tiny monitor. Always seem to sell for a good bit on ebay though - could never figure out why?

Yeah, went back for another look at it, these days my eyes couldn't take a screen that small.

The Last Bandit

Apart from the tiny screen, do ye think think 800 is a reasonable price for it ? 156 games sounds like its a multigame pcb rather then a mame cab.

Ianobeano

No, 200 max to be honest.

Not a hope, sure your not far off Candy territory at that stage, another few hundred & you've the Rolls Royce of cabs

o1s1n

I remember playing one in a shop in London about 6 or 7 years ago. Think it was selling at 1500. Which probably explains that auction price. Youd get a new astro city delivered from ronnie for about 850

Optimus Prime

Dont think thats mame is it? looks like a 156 in 1 pcb or something? either way, its a bit pricey!

the groutch

if you've got a spare €150

I was up in Tescos in clarehall and the seem to be flogging the older 360 model. I think it was the arcade bundle the one with the pac man logo on the front for 100 euro. I don't know how reliable they are but their brand new and might suit somebody for that money. Would you still get the old 3 warranty with them?;)

apparently Achilles needs a new xbox :pac:

Nice! Asking price is too expensive though. Got mine with cardboard sleeve on ebay for about €80 last year.

Retr0'll love this bit!

I received this game in a trade a while back and played it, really great game, epic as final fantasy 7!

I hope he wasn't running it in that Ikea unit he got. I think it happens to them all sooner or later, I on my third.:(

I had a feeling he didn't have the sleeve, that's why I asked him if he had it. It's not worth near 150 without the sleeve, if it was mint with the sleeve it might make close to it on Ebay but I don't think you would get it on Adverts.
80 euro was a fine price to get it for.

They're likely Jasper models, so probably more reliable than even the new Slims. And even more importantly, they could be jtaggable

almost certain they are, if you're into that kinda thing

I knew there was something about them arcade ones and the JTAG. How do you know is it by date or power rating?

Not too sure man, it could be the manufacturer date?

I have a spare hard drive off a elite that red ringed, they seem to have a good few up there. I have a slim but a second one might be good for other things;) I could be the new SteveSI

Should be by year, look for the Lot Number, it should be something like this, 0843x, 08 indicating the year they were made in and 43 the week. Should also be 12.1amps.

But Some of the branding on the box has been flawed over the years!

Go for it man. I can't see the end price rising much higher than that.

It's in the watch list. I think I can live without food for the rest of the month anyway. Fecking car tax and a lavish bank holiday weekend threw my budget way off this month

unky chop chop

I'm living in rathfarnham..It's an omen.
Money is down

o1s1n

Ah lads, still 7 days to go! Stop bidding, you're just throwing your money away!

unky chop chop

Yeah I know..threw down bid then saw 7 days left.
Ooops...time to play the patience game.
Anyway does the cab even work?

o1s1n

Hah! Now there's a good question. Might be an idea to ask him for a photo/video of the monitor on.

unky chop chop

Indeed..in the process now.
Would be deadly to have a dedicated driving cab though
Touring cars was model 2? So this would be a JVS cab rather than Jamma yeah?
If it worked you could whack daytona or sega rally into it as well

Sure why not just ask him can you take it for a test drive(excuse the pun), if your not to far from him. I know i would if i was going to bid.

Myrddin

I'd be very careful about bidding on that cab so early, its really not worth that much & all the early excitement could over-value it. My top money on that cab, given its condition, assuming its working, would be about €150/€200 max

unky chop chop

Yep agreed..just rare to see dedicated stand up driving cab on the market.
Really want one...model 2 makes it all the better..the best platform bar none for arcade driving games.if monitor works I'm in.
Tis you that has the ridge racer stand up isn't it

Aye, sucker for driving cabs myself

o1s1n

I kinda want it too now!

The Last Bandit

Kinda limited to driving games though that is if its you're only cab. Would make a nice second cab

Myrddin

The Last Bandit wrote: »

Agreed, its the perfect 2nd cab. For your first, ideally you should go for the most versatile setup like a 6 button Jamma setup

CosmicSmash

Great collection for somebody, GLWS.

Stupid amount of buy it now offers all ready, all really low ones too!
