i loved that game as a kid, played it all the time with my friends
Cool! That's actually my exact same situation as well. Got a full time job this Summer for an Air and gas money for a while. Sadly I'm going to have to return my Air for another because it has a creaking problem.

Ah I played this one to death as a kid, nice find.
From what I've had time to go through so far it's amazing. Well worth the $30 or so paid for it. I'd probably have paid up for $40 for it. The only content it doesn't have is Shanghai Disneyland.
A Winner is you! I hope you have MSHVSF too, its such an orgasmic game!

I've spent a few months searching craigslist within ~200 miles of me, in addition to calling every vending company I can find in my radius as well.
So I must ask, where did you get this, and what did you end up paying?
I've seen a company out of Utah that seems to consistently have them on eBay but they're trying to get $1000 a cabinet and putting me in charge of shipping ontop of it.
I want a candy cabinet but I don't want to drop a g bar. Share your guidance and wisdom!
Nice cabinet by the way. /jelly

I'm so jealous. One day I'll have a house and I can pick up one.
On my front, some more older stuff.
Looks a lot more yellow in the picture but it's in decent shape. The flash even fires. Now to maybe order some Impossible film from eBay and see if it actually works... I wanna get the OG flash instead of this 3rd Party one but it was only $6.
A rather old and cool looking fan. Matches the style of my old-ass Swingline stapler. Took it all apart, cleaned it, rebent all the blades so it actually pushes air now. Kinda loud but it's old so can't get pissy. So fucking choked I messed up the badge on it. Was letting it soak in some warm water and soap to get how-many-years worth of dirt off and the label just flaked off with one touch. So so so annoyed.

I found the seller from Neo-Geo forums. A lot of guys buy containers of cabs from China and sell them on the west coast. Just a warning, I have heard no so good things about the guy selling the $1000+ cabs on ebay... Really dirty cabs.
I was in for $1200 after shipping. You get what you pay for. I have three candy cabs now and would rather have those then 9 different machines like I use to.

You wound up selling all of your dedicated cabs? Those were real nice. Make sure you get some hi-res games (31 khz) for the blast, I hear that's where it really shines. Atomiswave and all that.

On to another pickup, I found some badass Captain Commando manga at the comic shop yesterday. Udon just released the 1994 Japan mini-series, all translated. It's pretty awesome, 90's japan art style is so freakin cool. Dat blown out hair.

Thanks for the honest reply, and the tip about the ebay/Utah company. I dug a little more and it seems to be a pretty universal opinion on this guy. Yuck.
Well, $1200 isn't even that outrageous when you really think about it. I'm just envisioning what yours would look like in my game room. So sexy!! I'll have to lurk the NG forums for awhile and see if I can find something clean.
My real dream cabinet is a Capcom Cute. They seem to be pretty rare compared to the Sega units tho.
Grats again on the sweet pickup!

Shit, I should check out that thread. The Famicom Micro has been on my wishlist since it debuted but every time I think about getting one I balk at the prices on eBay.

Yeah, Ken in Utah. I got my Net City from him. He accepts payments, at least he did with me. Try calling him up.

For those looking at Cady cabs. Look for Astro City, Net Astro City, and Egrets. My blast city, like many others have convergence issues. Pretty pissed at the seller for not mentioning this before taking my money.

The blast is cleaned up and in the row now. Just waiting on some new sticks and have to replace that marquee.

Fuck yeah, motherfuckers
Last two posts,yeah!
Nice you got the version with DLC. This game is BETTER than Futari, btw.
Coach Kevin,
Push those candies together. No need for space!
Need a New Astro now. Just sayin'.
Also, convergence is a big issue with tri-sync. Don't go by the grid, go by the game image.

Both of you guys need to spot me an Astro. I don't even have one.
Anyway, yeah, I'm excited to check out Mushi. 1CCed Futari and loved the thing, and while I had the shitty PS2 port of Mushi, I only played it like once or twice, so this is pretty much a totally new experience for me.
Totally new. Don't even consider the old PS2 port. Played it three times only myslelf. New 360 gets played four times a week.
I've not recently ranked the Cave 360 ports but I'm sure Mushimesama HD is in the top three. Will list my 2012 top 5 in the Cave thead shortlty. iOS is in there. Ha!

I will make them a little closer, but last weekend when we had 4 people on two of the machines we had to separate them a little.
And yeah, the convergence thing is kind of a pain, hopefully I can fix it down the road. I can live with it for now.
Do you have a picture of your lineup? What are you playing?
Sadly,
Candies are in storage in San Diego. I've got a New Astro, Egret 3 (bah, sexy cab like a Blast, but certainly no Egret 2), and an old beater SNK cab that is trashed but has a nice rotatable Nanao monitor like an Egret 2...fixer-upper which I wanna make a Saturn cab. Also a stand alone Neiman minitor, a couple of broadcast monitors for Tate play...one from europe, the other from california (Sony). Altogether a nice gameroom setup but I'm still looking for a japanese metal Neo Geo four-slot and an Egret 2 for completion. Slumming it with a Supergun for now (in bavaria) since I'm in europe. Moving to Washinghton DC in fall and gonna work hard to complete my cab collection. Also want a clean MVS US wooden cab with four slots and the OG games (Magician, Nam, etc). I'll try on the East but I'll just likely pick up in the West, since the parents live there, and it is fairly easy to get...simply drive with a truck.
My stick collection is held hostsge in a few locations...should have all of those by next year. Love cabs but sticks are my favorites.
Danny Dudekisser

Outta curiosity, Yes Broski, when are you finally going to get to put your entire collection in one amazing place?
I'm thinking mid-2013.
It is complicated but the bulk is in San Diego government storage (military, and all that) and will get to me in DC in January. All my stuff in europe goes to DC in November. And, I've got a ton of stuff sitting at the parent's place in Laguna Niguel CA (ritzy yuppie community). I'm planning on taking a long road trip from cali to MD and bringing everything eastward next month. Round trip flight from John Wayne to Maryland is $350....car rental with gas is $500...easy decision. I'm poor and make little so I've to weigh the costs.
BTW, i want to organize a big Shmup/Shooter meett in the middle of 2013, in Maryland/DC. I'll post details early next year.

Got these for a song.
Love that version of Road Rash. The other 2 games on Psx aren't nearly as good.

PS3 collections galore, Mario goes monopoly, and the saga of dragons continue....

I need these two so badly but I already spent quite a sum last month and this week alone.
