Article: In this section, we examine some of the most horrifying atrocities committed against candy cabinets. If you have a history of heart problems, it is recommended you back out of this page now. Eggs Playing Chicken {uploads/!HallOfShame/EggsPlayingChicken.jpg} An arcade developer and operator devised these series of modified {MVS-U4/29}s to house one of their homebrew games. It is not known how many of these were sold, but if you see one, at least you know it's "dedicated". (Editor's Note: This is actually Ken from The Game Room, he sells decent candies on eBay once in awhile and is very cool to deal with) Ms. Domy Jr. {uploads/!HallOfShame/MsDomyJr.jpg} What do you do if you find an incredibly rare Konami {Domy Jr} in the United States? Why, you turn it into a gold Ms. Pacman and put it on eBay of course! Princess Impress {uploads/!HallOfShame/PrincessImpress.jpg} A seriously deranged operator did this to a Capcom {Impress}. You have to admit, though, the paint job and decals were done tastefully. Blast Sh*tty {uploads/!HallOfShame/BlastShite.jpg} Blast City conversions are disturbingly common in the United States because of the high failure rate and rarity of Bass Fishing reels. The most disturbing of which is a Deer Hunting conversion, complete with sloppy orange camouflage paint job. MAME Shame {uploads/!HallOfShame/MameShame.jpg} All four of these crimes were committed by a single MAME profiteer, who surely must be one of the most evil people ever to live. From top left to bottom right: {CWC-203}, {Egret 29}, {OK Baby}, {Neo 29}. MAME Abominations {uploads/!HallOfShame/MameAbominations.jpg} But it gets worse. To the left is a rare {Candy 25} (from Japan of all places) with a very bad monitor refit, and to the right is what used to be a Jaleco {Pony Mark IV} before its guts were shoved into a poorly-designed cabinet. Painted {uploads/!HallOfShame/Painted.jpg} Rule number 1 of owning a candy is, do not paint your candy. Rule number 2 of owning a candy is, DO NOT PAINT YOUR CANDY. (editor's note: I realize that many people paint their candies for various reasons, and if you have done so, more power to you. Personally though I have to say it makes me cringe.) Paint and MAME {uploads/!HallOfShame/PaintAndMame.jpg} Rule number 3, if you must MAME your candy, do not build custom control panels for it. This guy gets an F- for not following any of the rules. Trashed {uploads/!HallOfShame/Trashed.jpg} It's a bit like seeing a Lamborghini rotting away in a junkyard, isn't it? Candy Holocaust {uploads/!HallOfShame/Graveyard.jpg} This picture is from a "piracy graveyard" in Hong Kong. In this case they have gathered up gambling machines, including what we can only hope to be knock-off candy cabinets, so they can be destroyed. *UH!*
