Interesting List: 50 Greatest Arcade Game CABINETS

I thought this was a pretty cool, and relevant, idea for a 'greatest' list.  Definitely opened my eyes to a couple of new ones I want to try, Tapper for one.  Hope it's not a repost, I searched but didn't find it anywhere...

Well... after looking at that list I realised they are talking about cabinet DESIGN.... and not the games themselves. Because some of those games are just wank.

But like you say it is still relevant because it could inspire new ideas in cabinet design from hobbyists.

That would be why it says 50 Greatest Arcade Cabinets and not 50 Greatest Arcade Games

I like the Tron cabs the best. They really set the mood and tone of the game.

Don't worry - Namco killed it when he Dugg it.  Its MySQL server crashed, probably under load.
