#80's gaming

When grocery stores tended to at least have one arcade cabinet in the front of the store! 💜🕹️😃👍🏻

BTW you need to have at least 5 to be considered an arcade apparently..

I have 8 with two on the way.. 😅🕹️💜

This is really cool I think.. it's a new picture of Iconic Arcade's Double Dragon XXL

I really hope this leak is true because I decided when I first saw these being leaked that I do want one! My reaction is: YES, I'm happy this looks like it's going to be a thing!

I'd be really happy if it has those control panel components as while I still might want to change out the colors of the joysticks (they should match the buttons)

But it'd be good to see that type be included on more cabs stock.. so far only my KI Pro included similar! I definitely want to put this on pre-order when it's available.. I hope it's on VMI with the same half now half later plan the SF XXL cabs had!

These have been up until recently just presented as a one off build to help market the newest Double Dragon game at trade shows so it's good to see that it's more than just that!

The spacing on the middle panels in the marquee area is a bit off though and need some work IMHO

this last picture shows the correct way which is more flush with the side panels lining up those middle panels

*update*

John D, the head guy at Media1UP who collaborates with Iconic Arcades told me the final will be closer to the original than the prototype shown today so that's good news to me and a relief!!
