Very cool, that's a nice looking cabinet. I have a bunch of arcade machines myself, I actually just got another one earlier today

I'd never heard of this but a quick google search turned this up:






I found a few pictures of some in private collections, cool piece of history but man that thing is ugly

I'd much rather have a PlayChoice 10 or a SuperSystem, the arcade versions of the NES and SNES respectively.

Thanks, I'd like to sell this one actually and one day down the track when I have more time & some spare cash to make a sit down Vewlix clone with a 32" LCD.

One of my machines is a Kraylix cabinet, I have it setup with a PC and HyperSpin




It's really great for LCD based games like the new Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter IV but I'd still prefer a CRT for older titles. Depending on what you play I'd recommend finding a Sega Blast City or Net City instead. You get the same comfy sit-down setup (which is awesome by the way) and the games can all run on a proper low lag, CRT the way they were intended.
