So this looks really odd.
ebay.com link: SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS KID VIDEO MINI PINBALL classic arcade video game machine
Anyone ever see/play one? Any fun?
Could it be made into a normal virtual pin with multiple tables?
Just thought it was out of the ordinary.
Watch out Hobbit, another 4 flipper game.
Though the flippers aren't real in this one. Looks cooler than I had imagined. Thanks for sharing. 
Quoted from NJGecko:Strangely polished-looking!
Agreed, nice work on the cabinet and back box

Would explain the great build quality
I've played a few games on this and was not impressed. For some reason the framerate was horrible at times and the game was nearly unplayable. I'm not sure if they used an underpowered processor for what the game is or what...

We bought one at a pin-game auction. We have gutted it and made a virtual pin...
We have left the commercial grade 32" tv inside and added a 26 " tv monitor in the backbox..So we can play and watch tv shows.etc on the backbox..
We reused all the buttons and wiring also.. It had an Ipac controller already.. So we just asigned the buttons per VP specs..
We are upgrading things as we go.. We added a 15" monitor for the display.... It is black under the graphics., so we have peeled most of it off... A fun project for sure.

Quoted from Crash:Wait Gottlieb in 2007??
Guessing that they got Gottlieb's rights to copy the 1973 King Pin layout.

That's cool. Guess you were unimpressed with the original game. Nice project!
RCA1.... No kids . So Sponge Bob is not our thing.... We and friends do still call it "Spongy"..We are still thinking on themes and graphics...
jmule123.... This is the before removal shots...The inside shots are hardware it came with.
We have gutted it and started over... I will take some after shots and post them.
If anyone want the old "guts" let me know .If should still work if reinstalled properly in a pc/shell for the kids maybe.?
