I saw this while surfing. They look nice with the wood finish and side art.

I've never seen that one specifically... I don't think I like it though.  The CPs look tacked on and the top looks weird without artwork, t-molding and with that trim.  It does look like there's a 27" monitor in there though, which is sweet.

...am I the only one that finds it a little odd that they are running either Galaga or Galaxian in the promotional piece for the 25th Anniversary of PAC MAN game.

I don't like it at all. It looks phony.

Well, its says Pacman/Ms Pacman/Galaga.

They have a similar one for Donkey Kong (jr)

Guess it would look better (less worse) after you remove the side decals. They thought of that since they mention they can be removed.

The 20th anniversary cocktail looks more original though. Even though the bezel on that looks annoyingly cluttered.

Are you sure that is an official cabinet and not a diy?

If the stickers were gone, that would be a nice looking cabinet.

Looks like a rendered image anyway.  So there's no way to tell if it's official or DIY.

This looks much more real.  This one is the 20th anniversary, just as the file name in rlemmon's pic indicates that one is as well.

hi, i have personally seen the 25th anniversary pacman cocktail. it is exactly as pictured, and in my opinion, it is garbage. it is a home edition, and is made very poorly. not nearly worth its price tag of about $3000.........i have the 25th anniversary cabaret home version, and it blows the cocktail cab away.......sparky

Well, I still say that original photo looks photoshopped, but Brookstone seems to sell it:

They sell a Donkey Kong/DK Jr. and a Ms. Pac Man/Galaga cocktail as well

I prefer the 20th anniversary one quaterback posted. I have to say that I would probably never buy a cocktail cab i like the uprights better. There Cooler looking and more comfortable to play.

I can't believe they want $4,000 for one of those. I built mine for like $800, and it's way better looking. All wood grain oak ply with a dark cherry stain.

I'm with stupid.

Actually they want $3000 for the one that is the subject of the thred. The 20th anniversary one quarterback is linking to is $4000. Both still a lot though
