Vs. Unisystem

     

       

ACQUIRED: 02/12/04

Originally, I bought this cabinet as a Dr Mario for my wife Angela for Valentines Day.  Dr Mario has been and always will be her favorite game of all time so I figured what better way of getting her on my side of this crazy hobby than to add a game that she loves?  It worked out perfect and she was thrilled when I brought this home for her.  The Vs Unisystem is unique in that you can swap out PCBs to be able to play different games designed for it.  Along with Dr Mario, I currently have Vs RBI Baseball (the greatest baseball game ever), Vs The Goonies, Vs Balloon Fight (the holy grail) and Vs Super Mario Bros (which is much different, and much more challenging than its NES predecessor).  The Vs Unisystem PCBs allow for 2 different chipsets to be installed at once, putting two games on the same board.  I picked up a switcher from Mark Spaeth, and with the push of a button I have 2 games in the same cabinet.  I'm hoping to find as many Vs game chipsets as I can to be able to keep up with the awesome variety this system has to offer!
