Title: Help with a restore, Atari Cab- what was in it? ~~ Solved~~
Post by: phyrosis on June 05, 2012, 09:41:44 pm

so two years ago i was at the dump dropping some building supplies off to be taken care of, and i noticed someone had ditched a Arcade Cabinet in the dump to be destroyed... now the humane person i am, i cannot let a cabinet rot in a dump.  :soapbox:

so i had it stashed by an old MAME cabinet for the last two years

i pulled her out today and snapped more pictures i want to restore the cabinet to the original game, of course, if the game does not suck.

after doing some major searching i think i narrowed it down to a few diffrent game using this image

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/pyro5050/Cabinet/ataricabs2.gif)

so it is either:
indiana jones
Marble Madness
Road runner
RoadBlasters
Peter Pack Rat

Any way to narrow it down more?

All those games pretty much came in the same generic, interchangeable cabinet. It could have been any or even all of those games at one point in time.

so i did some more looking, and it got down to one small thing that gave it away. my cabinet has a hole about 1 inch diameter on the bottom right. in googleing the games i limited it to i found it could be only one!

this is a mutilated roadblasters cabinet!
