What game is this the cabinet of?
« on: May 15, 2012, 01:01:21 pm »

Hi guys, about to start building my cabinet, and after looking at different models, this is one of the ones I like in the link below (this is from a guy in my country that sells them).

Does anyone know what game had this type of cabinet so I can look up the plans for it?

Thanks!

It sort of reminds me of Joust. The profile is different under the marquee and control panel, but close. I believe a bunch of Williams cabinets had a similar look.

Here's plans for Moon Patrol which is the same profile as Joust:

Yeah, it is similar to Joust and a bit less moon patrol (also joust 2)... I guess I can kkep looking some more and if not try to modify the joust/moon patrol plans.

Edit: also, since I don't really seem to recall them having many (if any) original cabinets in my country, maybe it was just a custom made cabinet based on a game but not exactly like any... (sort of like from a standard cab maker for arcades). That would really suck.

That made me smile.

It isn't a specific North American cabinet design, but it reminiscent of classic Williams cabs.

The over/under doors, speaker cutout, etc say its not Williams. Likely copy cab or off the beaten path mfgr cab.

Ref cheffo's handy dandy cut sheet, if you can figure out the height of the original (a commonly recorded metric) you can can figure the scale of the native image, take careful measurements and extrapolate the full size, or even blow up a full size template.

That's a great idea, but are you sure those are actually to scale?

Another great idea? Swing by my project thread to see if you know the answers that are stumping me... ;)

I'm pretty sure they are within an inch at 72 inches of height. I used on for my micro SW and the scaled down art was a perfect fit.
