Title: What cabinet is this a clone of?
Post by: ivwshane on December 29, 2010, 12:35:34 am

I'm trying to find some better pics to see if this is something I can restore or something.

As far as I can tell the game that's housed in it is called barrage from Mango Grits, published by activision back in 1998-99. I'm pretty sure this is a one off but I doubt the cab was a one off and is probably a clone of something that came out during that time.

I agree with Leapinlew. I've never heard of a game called Barrage, but it looks like a self-made cabinet in the golden tee style.  Maybe a donor cab. Did you check klov?

note, the 3dfx logo which might be part of a more original marquee.

Good call. Looking again, you can tell that the Barrage isn't even set in the marquee frame. It's "surface mounted"...lol...literally looks like it was just stuck over top of the marquee in a half assed effort. You can see the overlap.

This particular cab was given to the lead programmer (or something similar) of the pc game Barrage.

Hmm... a golden tee cab would be nice.
