Interesting topic ... I chose Williams due to the Joust cocktail and Duramold cabinets -- the others I could take or leave.

Cheers.

I think it's an interesting topic as well, although it'd be even more interesting with some cab silhouettes.  There are only a couple cabs that pop into my mind when looking at that list, so I don't think I could vote fairly without more info.

Ah ... busted ...

Although i still think of the Joust cocktail as a full-size cab ... two grown people can sit and play comfortably and it takes more floorspace than most of my uprights.

Cheers.

I've always been partial to the old Nintendo cabs.

I listed Taito, but Atari really had so many creative varieties too.

Loved Atari & Sega as a young'en...anything that was a sit & ride was worth my credit !! That is until i played  G-Loc after fish n chips...what a mess  :-X

Especially liked Wec Le Mans cab but not sure who made that one.

As a tall drink of water, i really like peering down into a midway cabinet.  monitors that face towards me always make me stand far away, or worse, crouch.
