Title: Pentagon cocktail cabinet
Post by: rchadd on April 22, 2004, 06:54:51 pm

just come across this idea for a cocktail cabinet its for a Midway game is called Clowns from 1978

has anyone made a pentagon shaped cocktail table for mame before?

just thinking that the CPs shown are good for playing horizontal games, and you could place CPs on the adjoining edges for vertical play.

hmmmm... its really got me thinking now...it seems everybodies got a pacman cocktail so...

Gun Fight, and a lot of other 70s midway games use the same cocktail table as that one.

Not that I am aware of.

Also isn't that one actually a hexagon?

It'd be cool if you made a top that you could place over the cocktail top and use it as a poker table or any other type of game table.
