Arcade game in John Carpenter's "The Thing"

I happened to be looking at some footage on youtube and it lagged while loading at this particular shot in the blood test scene, I thought people might find this interesting as it appears there's some kind of Exidy game in the room next to Kurt Russel:

I hadn't noticed it before, I'll have to watch that movie again and keep an eye out for what it is, it's an interesting mystery. Oddly enough I think it might be an ultra rare Hard Hat, the bright patch on the left side of the marquee doesn't seem to be in the right place for it to be Pepper II or Venture, and I think those three were the only ones released in that style cab aside from the Teeter Torture proto.
