Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Timewarp, 3 in 1 cabinet?

[Crazy Climber]

Hello

I swore I remember a 3 in 1 arcade cabinet that was made around the year 2000 with all 3 Dragon's Lair games on it, well both games and Space Ace. I can't seem to find any info on it now, does anyone know where I could find some info on it. I think it was yellow, maybe it was made illegally or maybe I am just losing my mind - lol

Thanks for any help

I've had a look and can't find anything. I too do seem to remember it - or maybe it was in talks but never got off the ground.

 

Here's a nice idea though - with the death of HD-DVD you can pick up the players for nothing (I paid $99 and got 5 free movies for my A2) and you can get DL on HD-DVD! It wouldn't take a huge amount of jigging to get it to work in a project cab and I'll bet it would look and sound bloody awesome.

 

Just a thought.

No, it was legal. I played a few of them, only one ever in an arcade (the rest at Philly Classic and CGE type shows). The piece was smaller than you would imagine but play value was great. Even had instructions to help you play if you wanted (I needed it, those games kill my quarters instantly....always have!). Bluth agreed to re-release it and it did pretty well from what I heard. Ran a hard drive instead of some other oddball config but worked well.

March 21 has an entry and pic about it...ftwiw

 

BTW, I am sure they are available at auction. Play value would be limited in a single location. I'd wait until fall and hit the September/October auctions.

YES!

Thats the one, I started to think I was going a little crazy I sure would love one of those, since it's a smaller Cab I would be able to fit it right next to my Multipac as well, very temting. Thanks for finding that man

off topic, Cassidy, where do you find out about auctions with arcade games?

[Cassidy Nolen]

I am on so many blasted mailings that they just sort of show up. Does anybody have a particular company they like to attend? I think Superauctions used to the do the Winston-Salem auction. Most of these companies cover a broad area of the country (like Chicago to NYC).

 

I know that a few of the venues have schedules (so the equestrian center in Baltimore for example) posts their events. You can check their websites for upcoming shows. I also used to follow RGVAC and see what was happening in my area too.

 

HTH,

DL 20th anniversary cab: Apparently it was an Ultracade cab - according to this site and wiki http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:M1Cs7...;cd=1&gl=us

 

But it seems that it's no longer on ultracade's new site (global VR).

If anyone's interested in this and missed the post on Digitpress, the Dragon's Lair people are celebrating the 25th anniversary this week by selling the various DVD formats for 25% off and signed by Don Bluth with the other creators. I'm gonna order blueray and remove some of the bad karma from the Daphne setup.
