Oh, feel free to nitpick. :)  They are definitely not intended to be an exact replica by any means (they are a bartop afterall). In fact, I wanted a cab that could reasonably be a Pac Man, Galaga, Ms. Pac Man or Galaxian. I just thought it would be really cool to have several lined up together, each with different artwork, color and controls. And of course it goes without saying that I don't think any of those had a vertical monitor setup (at least Pac and Ms. Pac didn't).

But point taken, if you're building an exact replica, these plans are not the way to go by any means.

Lol, no of course not. It was more that the question was for the Galaga/Ms-Pac shape explicitly. Anyway, one could easily change the sides a bit to look more like a Galaga/MS-pac shape. Nice plans BTW!

Unless you use like a 7 inch monitor, that is going to be hard to do, unless you just want the sides stuck on that don't go with the monitor position, even then it will look way to short and fat.

I intended that one could make different styles of cabinets simply by cutting the sides differently. The top curve and the large front concave curve of the Namco cabinets could be cut differently to reflect different styles of cabinet. I was planning on making a Williams series of cabinets using these plans with alterations to the sides, but haven't got around to it.

Hopefully someone will try it, I'd like to see it.

Here is a williams inspired side that should fit.

Or even Crystal Castle.
