Thanks guys.

I was in the room last night sorting and organizing, and the "feel" of the room is just right About the only space I have left is in the closet, and if I put some shelving up high. I suppose eventually it will come to that.

I've seen the 4 player cyberball.  It's one of my favorite games as well.  I actually saw some for sale a few years ago, but I didn't have my own home then.  Street Fighter (hyper fighter, or champ edition, or even capcom vs snk 1 or 2) and Cyberball would be my biggest want list right now too.

I've probably played more of those games than any other.  

I think Cyberball had 2 versions, and I think the second one was pretty good - but I remember the titanium tight end was pretty overpowered.  

Maybe it's time to start e-baying some of the parts.  I don't want to pay freight for a full cabinet.

[yap]

Oh yeah I meant to say this in my first comment... awesome pics.  Your room is sweet.

Thanks Yap.

I played in and won a "state" tournament for Cyberball back in the day. I was the best player in my state.

A friend of mine owned an arcade and we used to have tournamnets every weekend until like 3 or 4 in the morning. So when the state tournament at "Castles and Costers" came along I was more than prepared for anyone.  

I have had a few chances to buy a full Cyberball over the years. If a chance comes up again where I can get it locally, I will not pass it up.

And yes there was 2 versions. I liked the second version better as well. There was one arcade in town that had modified team names too. In the game originally there was a team called the "Tokyo Flash" and the name was change on this one unit to the "Phoenix Flash". There may have been some other name changes, but I cant recall them.

My teams were:

San  Francisco Hitmen, from the first version.
and
The California Crush from the second game.

[yap]

Wasn't that a passing team?  I liked the running teams more.  London Lightning!

Ebay has 2 Cyberball cabinets for sale.  One looks like the real one (the wide-squat one).  $1200 but it's pickup only in California.

I'd easily pay that much for one if I could pick it up around here.

Not much of a drive from here
San fran was a passing team. The Crush were a "balanced" team. I liked the balanced team in the second version becuase the titanium T.E. and half back were availible to only the balanced teams
