Midway and Stern cocktail cabinets have 3/16" thick glass.

I can't vouch for what Atari used or what Mr. Do or Frogger cocktails had.

Oh and don't waste your money on that ---smurfing--- tempered glass either. I use ordinary glass.

I am glad you use it too. I was talking to my glass man and showed him some pics of what all the glass I was buying was being used for. He said straight up '---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, you wouldn't need hardened glass for that, just use normal stuff'. He then got a small piece of glass and placed it on the  cutting desk and smacked it with his hand and it didn't break. He said because its going on a flat surface it is very difficult to break.

The difference in price is quite a lot too.  ;D

Yup!  The only way regular glass is going to break is if you TRY to break it...by smashing something in to it on purpose, etc.   The reason on-site cabs came with tempered is because well,  there were asshats out there who TRIED to break stuff.
