Food Fight is very similar but has weird bumps in the outline where the pie artwork was. IIRC Centipede was the only one with the coin-door style that yours has. Others have an "over/under" coin door. |

Cool! I feel smarter :) (thought I also feel a bit guilty for 'MAMEing' and old Centipede cab :-[ ) |

It's most definitely a Centipede. They are the only Atari cab of that style that had a pinball coin door, the others had the over/under coin door pictured above. Best, - Mike - |

I believe that Centipede was also the only one that was "undercut" beneath the control panel; or more accurately, "overcut" above the CP (the Centipede is "fatter" on the sides above the CP). For example: Also, I think the other Atari cabinets of that general shape, such as Dig Dug, had a notch cut from the lower rear corners, while Centipede didn't. |

I'll have to make a note of those for the cabinet ID webpage I'm (very slowly) working on. I talked about it on this thread. I even mentioned in that thread that it'd be nice to know the differences between the Centipede and Dig Dug-style cabs. |
