My cabs
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:12 pm
I finally got my Naomi Uni in presentable shape, so here's some pictures of my arcade collection.
Here they are, the long time dream Naomi Uni and my older trusty companion, a 6-slot Neo-Geo. The Naomi is in pretty good shape, no missing side stickers, no cigarette burns.

I've rarely seen this Neo-Geo cab, you see more of the model with the big mini-marquee header. The control panel here is the same though. The memory card reader is inside the panel, I just thought I wouldn't use it enough to poke a hole in it, and I'm also missing the reader slot rims.

The marquee is Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned. It's a badass game and it's a Naomi exclusive. Those alone would have been enough for me to decide which marquee to put in this. But luckily it's also one of the best looking marquees.
For a long time I wondered about what colour buttons to put in this. In the end I decided to tie them to the overall colours of the Uni and the Final Tuned marquee. So I used three colours: red, vermilion and orange. Gives it a nice feel and ties it to the marquee.

Here's another pic of the panel. Just try to ignore the damage around the button in the upper row; everyone who's drilled additional holes in their panel knows they're asking for trouble. The Naomi card just a freebie from SegaShed, that I decided to trim a little and put in the instruction space. Looks clean and neat.

And then some games. Neo-Geo kits and shockboxes:

Naomi GDs. The japanese game on the side is Musapey's Choco Marker.

Naomi ROMs. The Japanese games there are Power Stone and Heavy Metal Geomatrix.

And that's it for now! Though I'm currently thinking about getting another Naomi. But living in Finland means I've got slim pickings. I'm currently hoping a local dealer here would get a driving cab in, but it's possible I'll have to postpone that kind of foolishness to a later date (and later apartment). So I'll most likely get another Universal Cabinet, which will be rotated for some Ikaruga and co. goodness. (BTW, what would I need to put some Cave games running in there as well?)
