Bootleg or not? Nice looking game and artwork though.

Yeah that looks like a dedicated cabaret Lady Bug which is extremely rare. Do not part that out and do not sell that cheap.
 
I believe those cabs were made by arctic electronics


Yep, I see that exact cab, monitor surround, and cp in the pic. So do we call it a dedicated cabaret Ladybug, or a conversion? That's what threw me, the monitor surround and cp... Also, fire buttons? Ladybug is a joystick only game, no?

It's definitely a conversion. Those cabs are neat. They open from the front.
 
Nicely done conversion, perhaps? It definitely is an ATW Inc. Cabaret cabinet, aka alienwar, aka Artic. Was made in Taiwan, distributed here in the US. Has a 19" monitor in it. Lots of Mr Dos, Mars games in these.

Looks very nice, keep it!
 
He's gotta get it first. ;^). Really cool little cab!
 
Cabarets are rarer, and that one seems to be in decent shape; not too many cabarets with 19" monitors in them. If I had it hard for Lady Bug in a cabaret format, good monitor, I'd say 500 is close to on mark, maybe be a bit high. There was another Arctic cabaret with Mars that went for $350 not too long ago here in CA, and didn't have side art.
 
Looks like a similar conversion to the ladybug cabaret in the King of Kong - "we've got a ladybug cabaret in the cabin, and todd's got a score going!" lol

Tough to see, but looks like the same cabinet with the same yellow joystick.

I'd love a dedicated Ladybug someday. I don't like this cabaret conversion due to the joystick being on the left side of the control panel, rather than the right side.
