Too bad I live on the west coast...

Yes, it was a horrible game.  It was hard to play control and the missiles were steered when you steered your ship.  It made it hard to hit anything.

Yes, it was the funky fiberglass cabinet.

That could have been done SO much better...but I'm guessing it was a 1st cab, so hopefully the next one will be better, but seems like such a waste of a nice cab :o

We should be trying to preserve the classics as opposed to just making them monstrocities. Especially Tron!

You missed the point - it's not the way the cab was done - I've seen the cab with a shelf and an X-arcade get trashed on CrapMame, and I don't agree.  It's not what I would build, but there's something to be said for being able to unplug your CP and use it in the family room on your console system, or take it to a friend's house.

The point is it USED to be a TRON cabinet.  Tron is a very rare and collectible cabinet with a very unique control set.  If it was a scratch-built cab, or a BadDudes or something, I don't think there would be nearly as much heartburn.
