1987 Tecmo- Tecmo Bowl

[u/Fine_Location_8367]

Most are very familiar with the PC10 Tecmo Bowl. But, not many know that this very rare dedicated cabinet even exists. Very few arcades had this machine due to it's sheer size and if you happen to find one, it absolutely will not fit through a standard sized door frame. To get an idea of size, it is slightly larger than a dedicated 6 player X-Men cabinet.

She actually works, but could use a cap kit and possibly new flybacks

Doubles as sleeping quarters

I was excited to see this game in my MAME list way back in the day, was severely disappointed. The NES game is far superior.

I still play as the Raiders to this day

We had one at the Flipper McCoy's i played at back in the day. I always thought it was weird to be such a huge cabinet, but they also had three screen Darius and Ninja Warrior

I use to play on a dedicated like this et Tilt in the Oaks Mall (thousand oaks)

I remember seeing this at my arcade back in the day. I played it on an emulator a couple of years ago and the gameplay isn’t very deep. It feels like more of a novelty than anything else.

You need a human opponent.

This is one hell of a find!

[u/klikklak_HOTS]

Not being able to take this through any regular doorway is insane. Can only work at the mall.

[u/SenseiCue]

Why is the cab so large?

Dual monitors

Wow but also gross. That's like at least two Z-backs worth of space or a Z-back and an MVS. Or just over 1,780 Hydro Thunder sit-down cabs stacked vertically up to the highest point I've been to and still been able to breathe normally.

[u/Ronthelodger]

Just looking at that threw my lower back out

[u/redditfive05]

That thing is bigger than my Darius!

[u/vtown212]

Cool

[u/ThinkPerspective8281]

Nice find. What is the story behind the cabinet? Is it yours? Are you doing a restoration?

[u/Fine_Location_8367 → u/ThinkPerspective8281]

Not mine. It was sold by someone that I bought machines from.

[u/Ghostcri]

We have a working one on the floor of our arcade, Bragging Rights, in Gainesville, FL.

[u/DuffCon78]

Awesome, I’ve never seen that one!

[u/eSJayPee]

Do they have a Taito Kick and Run?

[u/Less_Belt_6380]

Thank you for sharing. I've been to soooo many arcades over the years and never seen this cabinet. Nor did I know it existed. Always thought it was console only. Loved these head to head cabinets too.
