Title: Blizzard campus review by Arstechnica
Post by: Benevolance on April 26, 2010, 06:17:00 pm

Don't know how many of you browse Arstechnica regularly, but they recently completed a tour of the Blizzard campus and were showing some photos, including a Blizzard arcade cabinet. You can see the cab halfway down the page here (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/04/earning-your-sword-a-picture-tour-of-blizzards-offices.ars/5) but no indication what game it runs. Mame, maybe? Love the sideart, though!

I'd bet good money on Mame.  Trackball, 8-ways, what's probably a four way joy, spinner etc, it's gotta be Mame.

Happ bezel so I imagine most of the other stuff is Happ Controls also. 

Nice find.  Side art is better than the marquee.

Yup it's MAME, that's why they're not allowed to play with it anymore...Something about a gaming company having a bunch o' illegal roms in the lobby just seemed a little imprudent.
