What cab is this in?

An ugly one?

It looks roughly like the generic wood grain cabaret that I have at home, but not quite. Funky looking coin door....possibly an import? Euro model?

Looks like the same cabinet that my Alien War is in.

It's an Artic mini. Mars and Devil Fish came in it officially. However they were very commonly used for bootleg games like Frog (ger) and Scramble.

The cab sucks.. the back is permanently attached, your only access is through the lower front that swings out with the coin door.

The power to the marquee light is cut into the left side just under the thin laminate.

The speaker is mounted on the right rear bottom facing back!

The monitor chassis is attached to the left side so you must detach the wires to the tube to remove either part or rotate the tube for horizontal/vertical -- again, all from the front.

The control panel is at most 4" of vertical space.

The coin door is the same as is often found on original Universal cabs.

Check the for sale group--someone is selling 3 of these somewhere and they had bootlegs in them and I put some details on them there yesterday.

AFAIK Firetrap was only sold in kit form. I remember playing this in the arcade when it was new and at the time it was in a converted cabinet.

Game isn't that bad -- like Crazy Climber but with flames. :D

And I thought this was going to be about Frizz's penchant for the Hot n' Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's, and the after-effects....
