That is awesome, I am surprise that guy didnt decide to make his setup into a kit to sell for cabs without the rotate mechanism.

LOL that's a riot! Like a true DS their ugly and scary, but effective. First DS smokes you, then you smoke DS.
Now I'll be hearing Drill Sergeant Ermey in my head when i'm cleaning it up.
DS was good in The Siege of Firebase Gloria if you haven't checked it out before.

Thanks!
It's a great cab, really lucked out. I was just being derogatory for the sake of humor. I said i didn't like the look of the cab and then ended up getting one. How the games play is far more important than my aversion to the aesthetics.
I just think its aggressive, disproportionate, overworked, and busy looking with all the right angels. Which accentuate its occupied space. Like a Transformer.
(To me) It looks like the design is a reaction to other cabs and inspired by sports car concepts and the F-117 stealth fighter. Great for standing out in an arcade. But in the home, when you walk in the room it demands attention and draws your gaze.
In the home, I prefer a softer design that disappears into the wall and doesn't become the focus of the room. like how putting a tv in a room and arranging the furniture in the room to make the tv the focus point kinda thing.
Cabs like Astro, egret 2,3 , hyper 64 i think do a good job of being subtle and don't make the room feel as crowded. The New Astro city's are fine i just think the speakers boxes draw attention. monitor is whats important anyway.

You have to appreciate the sharp contrast to previous (1993) model the Astro City...
Blast did a aesthetic 180 here, and I for one love the big in-your-face look of it.
One of my all time favorites is the predecessor to the doscile Egret II/3 the Egret29... because it makes the Blast City look tame by comparison.
Not the biggest fan of the colored control panel or the weird off-set step, but that marquee tower is just so money it makes up for it.
the red ones are a little nicer I think. though I almost wish they did the accent color in the same hot-pink as the illuminated logo.
I'm not in the market for a new cab, nor do I have space for another one but if I had the opportunity to buy a nice example I might be obligated to take it.

Totally agree with you, it reminds of something that should come out of a Macross or Robotech universe. I would totally repaint the cab to match those.One of my all time favorites is the predecessor to the doscile Egret II/3 the Egret29... because it makes the Blast City look tame by comparison.

ya, each do a great job reflecting their time. then Net city whent with like a minimal/futurist build. Sega cabs are so cool. Blast city look really cool in a clean row of just Blast City's.
looks like something that would be in the Star Trek next generation Bar. I'm guessing the side step is So player 2 and 1 would have more room between each other.
