Altered Beast!!!
david656:
hi again people!
ok i have fiddled about with a Crystal Maze SWP for a while and figured i now have enough knowledge of what i want to do to start my prject.
i want to either get and revamp or make from scratch a Altered Beast arcade cabinet.
firstly i have searched high and low on google and found some pictures of the cabinet art and manipulated them and cleaned them up as best as i can and hope they look nearly as good as the real ones which i cannot get!
so its now just the cabinet because my Crystal Maze cab was a MAME anyway so i can transfer it all over and scrap teh cab :)
so if anyone could maybe send a link to a page of dimentions for the cab or even has a cab for me in bristol that would be great, i did see the dimentions once on the net and swear i downloaded the page but could not find it :( but hopefully u guy's can help me:)
cheers

As far as I know, Altered Beast was only sold as a kit to convert existing cabinets. Most I played were Williams cabinets (like the pic on KLOV).
If you want a SIMILAR cab to what it might have been like, maybe you could copy the Alien Syndrome cab. I think that was the only System-16 game that had it's own cab.
Crackdown was sold as a dedicated machine a few years after AB, but appears to be a standard Dynamo cut-corner cab.
I'd use whatever cab you could get or find a design you like and build it. By the time you put clean artwork on it, it'll look dedicated anyway.

Altered Beast and Golden Axe were only available as conversion kits. They could be installed in just about any cabinet.
In general though, I installed Altered Beast in Williams cabinets and Golden Axe in Nintendo cabinets.
