I thought I'd not open a new thread for my question, hopefully someone can help me.





A local seller here has a Crazy Taxi cab that's now reserved for me. I haven't still seen the cab, he doesn't have a picture of it and the machine is still on rent on another place for at least a month. Naturally I haven't made up my mind on buying it before I see it, but I thought maybe someone could shed some light on this.



The seller says it's not the shape of a Universal Cabinet, but it's more akin to a Virtua Fighter 3 cab, like this:

I know I've seen a House of the Dead 2 cab here in Finland using a similar cab, so I figured they were a (rare) alternative for Naomi cabs. He supposes the Crazy Taxi cab should be official, at least it's yellow like it should be.





Anyone seen those big, rounded cabs for other than VF3? Or better yet, anyone has a picture of a Crazy Taxi cab like this?



I guess I'd be most interested in knowing if there are some drawbacks on a cab like this, like a poor monitor or difficulties in swapping games, I'd be looking to play other driving games on this as well.

Maybe a rare demo cab, but not offical..

These are older cabs back when VF2 & 3 were still new. I've seen these with 'fighter' type games with joysticks, but I've never seen a racing setup on this cab type. :smt017 ???

Well, I'll post pics as soon as I get them, just might take more than a month.

No, it's a stand-up cab.
