Who has a Point Blank cabinet Japanese/Namco version..?


Recommended Posts

Y'all know how great this game is, and how it always got installed in dodgy cabs in Australia.

 

Does anyone have the original cabinet and are willing for it to be subjected to all sorts of measurements and photographs?

End goal is to re-wild Australia with proper native Point Blanks.

 

Anyone? Any on site anywhere?

@namastepat what's yours?

 

Mine's just an upright cab with Point Blank installed. Not sure what build, maybe Sega. It's just got the sideart applied and looks good, but it's far from an original Namco cab. The original cabs are beautiful and have a mirrored screen and amazing full cab artwork. One sold on ebay around 2 years ago for just over a grand. I still kick myself to this day that I didn't buy it.

We used to have about 12 Point Blanks but every one was a kit and thrown in old gun cabinets.

 

Namco were quite expensive to buy as dedicated machines and they usually offered there games in kit form as well as dedicated form.

 

Good luck in your hunt. I think the game itself is well work restoring. It was a big earner till things like the Time Crisis series and to a lesser degree, Beast Busters came out. Beast Busters by SNK was also a good machine gun game that most operators bought in kit form because dedicated SNK games made Namco's pricing look somewhat realistic.

Surprise, surprise. Our old mate has put one up on Gumtree. You'd think he'd have something better to do than monitor this little old forum :)

 

It's also funny he is using Johns Arcade now, instead of just John. @Johns-Arcade, don't worry, we know you're the real, one and only Johns-Arcade :)

Typical! I've never had any dealings with the guy, don't know him from a bar of soap, but as I'm a member here I guess that's motivation for him to do this sort of thing, the same as his Johns Arcade tips on Facebook!

 

I'll give ASIC a call and see what they say.

 

Regards,

 

Johns-Arcade.
