Ultracade

I picked up a Centipede cabinet that had been converted to an Ultracade at the San Jose auction a few years ago. I yanked the computer out and gave the cabinet to a friend to convert back to Centipede. It's pretty neat. Nice front end. The guys who made it actually emailed me to ask permission to use some of the marquee scans off my site at www.arcadecollecting.com. I forget all of which ones they used, but I remember Zookeeper and Bubble Bobble.

Would that be one of those arcade auctions that they hold at the fairgrounds from time to time or would this be the California Extreme show they hold over at Parkside Hall near the convention center?

I palyed one at ocean city 2 years ago..i like it, got to play black tiger again, even had astayanax, which i didnt know was even an aracde game, thought it was just a nes game.

They have one at every rest-stop on the Mass Turnpike. It certainly made my 3 hour drive to school much better, though these usually tacked a couple hours onto the trip.

If you're lucky, you'll find an Ultracade that has SNOW BROS.

:) :) :) :)

Mine does! Well at least it used too.

It was an auction at the fairgrounds. (Super Auctions).

I have yet to see any of these, although they sound awesome, so I'll be on the lookout for one.

University Pinball in Philly has one. Oh, and thanks to Tekken 5, ARCADES WILL NEVER DIE!!!!1

The one at Rocky's Replay in Orlando has two. One has the normal button config, while the other is specialized for trackball games. The normal one had a game on it I'd never seen before. The 3 Wonders or something like that, by Capcom. The action game plays a bit like Metal Slug with a fantasy setting, and you get options. Its pretty damn cool.

It's just MAME that you pay for.

Fuck that.
