Plans for a cabinet ID website
Crowquill:
Ray had most of them right.
From right to left:
Ms.Pac/Galaga (angled top is different from Pac/Galaxian). I think Bosconian is also a variation on this.
Sinistar/Splat/Robotron
Centipede/Dig Dug/Kangaroo/Arabian
Crystal Castles
Gyruss If you add a cut-out in the side it's the same as Track & Field too.
Stargate
Taito
Stern
Moon Patrol/Joust
Space Invaders - After mentioning it, the top is wrong on this. One of the few I didn't verify.
I actually took almost all of those from the Arcade Vector Art Library files. I think that's why SI was off since it was trying to show the artwork going over the edge. The Ms. Pac needs a bit of work too. I was trying to make up for the perspective in the photo, but it's definitely a bit off still.
One thing I was thinking might be nifty to implement once I get the flash version together would be a simple game of guessing the silhouettes.
Kremmit--as you requested (and a few others):
Kremmit:
Really, Gyruss? Wow, I'm officially embarrassed. Shows what I get for posting without verifying. :P
Also, curse your proposed flash game, as I'm obviously going to stink at it. :(
;) Just kidding, that's a great idea you've got there. Heck, I'd even install that game on a cab if it were polished enough- be a fun one to try on other arcade dorks. Now, if only there were somebody that codes flash games lurking around this thread...

Seriously, though, this can help in both identifying a cabinet and deciding on a shape for a build.

I love the similar Pole Position (Atari upright -hint,hint- ;)), Dynamo, and Centipede outlines. There's something about the combinations of angles used that add up to "near perfect" to me. Or maybe it has something to do with what games/cabs were in the arcades I went to as a kid. ;D Neo Geo is almost as good, but it's missing "something" IMO. But I'm still messing with it, searching for perfection for my cab. ;)
It would be great to see many of the different (and close-but-not-the-same) outlines and compare them to each other. Thank you for the ones already done. :applaud:

I am a newb here but I have a few arcade games and yes tring to find out what certain ones are, the production numbers and all the great history can be a pain. I think a site that had all that info would be great. Cabinet side pics as discussed first, along with some history and production numbers. I realy enjoy this hobby and would also enjoy to know more about the games I keep for myself. Jake
