Dedicated, original button layout, and fully working.

Battletoads the Arcade, it has the marquees and everything.

It was found at a local Cici's Pizza today in Waco, TX when I was spending some time with my father. I wish I had my camera, it was a sight for sore eyes, because I have never seen the real Arcade of Battletoads.

They also had a Neo Geo MVS 4 slot Red Cab too, it had Metal Slug 4, Puzzle Bobble, Last Resort, and.... Prehistoric Isle 2....

I wish I had the cash to buy both cabinets, but man that Battletoads was sweet.

I honestly feel that Battletoads shouldn't be left in a pizza place like that, should be restored and taken care of

You know what's funny? I swear I saw a Battletoads game at the CiCi's in Houston when I was there. Maybe that game's making the CiCi's rounds? Or perhaps CiCi's is cornering the market on toad-related games. Either way, weird coincidence and nice spotting! I hope you and your dad dropped a few coins in it!

I'm pretty sure Battletoads was a kit only game. If it really is dedicated, you should go back and get pictures asap. And get some pizza while you're there doing "research." ;)

O_O! Cici's has arcades? We got a new one in by my work, but they didn't have any games... I haven't been there in a few months though, maybe they got some arcades. I'll have to check it out! If not, maybe I can sell them some of mine ;) .

I'm pretty sure it's just a kit game. I've got one and it's got the control panel art + marquee. The bezel is pretty plan however, I don't know if it was part of the original kit or not.

$200 is what it set me back if you're thinking of making an offer.

As for the Battletoads / CiCi Pizza link, I can't vouch for it. I hit the one back in my home down in Tennessee over vacation. No Battletoads.

My CiCi's has games as well, but no Battletoads. Maybe it's just a Texas thing.
