Does anyone believe in this game!??? I've researched it multiple times, and I can't make out if it's real or not!!???

Richie Knucklez just posted this video on YouTube, and I don't get it? It looks like a Midway cab (Pac-Man) shape.

John do you know about this!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEPDixwaoKM

It's most likely fake, I would however point out that I am the kind of guy who'd make one just to have in the arcade so that when people came in and saw it they'd @#$%! a brick. It'd be funnier than heck to listen to them go "whoa dude when i was playing it i felt all kinds of weird man" in the back of my head id be laughing so hard knowing the truth.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right

seems like a waist of time, its like having a fake Rolex in a nice watch collection...

now I understand the world of desired collector fakes, paintings, ect... but a full on arcade cabinet ?

what's the point, those in the know... know its fake, an those who don't are like its a dead 80's cabinet they never heard of...

where is the payoff ?

In my case its an excuse to make a cabinet from scratch that id probably make into a multicade in the guise of a polybius cabinet. I'm still a firm believer in practicality.
