Ebay item,which is quite cool.

Post by Ord »

I found this on another forum, and I thought some here might like it. I think it's quite cool for being home made. It's a pity the seller sells boots though. :(

I like the basic idea of cabbing a DC, but this one has major problems:

-cocktail cab (IMO)
-PAL DC
-mediocre stick
-hideous mix of blue & white cab/green controls/GCN boxart font

It boils down to pirated Ikaruga on a PAL DC with a DC stick, wrapped up in an ugly, bulky and inflexible package.

I cann't belive someone made this for sale. :lol:

GBP 40 for the whole set doesn't sound so bad. But the postage would be horrible... :lol:

You could still play other DreamCast Virticle shmups on it, e.g Gunbird 2, SNS2, Trizeal & Psyvariar 2.

If it is a Japanese DC connecting a RGB monitor, it would be a steal. But don't expact too much. You will be lucky to got a RGB monitor in that.

Just hope that the seller has not installed a cheap TV in it and connect it using composit cable... :o

The description says that it's a 14" VGA monitor, which would probably be using a VGA adapter...

It seems nice and all, but I would have angled the back. The cocktail design kinda sucks in my opinion. Looks like it would be uncomfortable to play...also any ceiling lighting will ruin your day with GLARE GLARE GLARE and more GLARE!
I hate glare!

While not nearly as comfortable, cocktail cabinets are at least a hundred times more stylish than a stand up.

A bar I used to go to had an Arkanoid cocktail cab that was pretty bad ass.
