OK so I got this Radikal Bikers off of SRW with the intent of using the monitor in my Capcom Vs SNK, but it turns out that the kids love the game and I was able to get a 27" VGA monitor for my Capcom Vs SNK (Naomi).

Overall the cabinet is in fair shape, the artwork is ripped along the edges, but it looks OK. But one thing I just noticed on closer inspection was that there is different artwork under the Radikal Bikers artwork!

Now this cabinet has a Atari Games sticker on the inside and out that says it is a Radikal Bikers, and it looks just like all Radikal bikers I have seen. This leads me to believe that Atari had leftover cabinets that it used for Radikal Bikers, like how Nintendo put Donkey Kong in Radar Scope cabinets.

I really don't want to peel off the artwork just to find out what this was originally, does anyone know? Either by peeling off the art, or just know?

Here are the game stickers:

Primal Rage?

The cabinet looks different though:

Primal Rage II has the same style cabinet, but blue artwork, not red:

Looks like Mortal Kombat 4.

The colors match up with the flames anyway... Can't tell where the picture locations are from exactly, but that is what I would look at.

Bleh! I hate that cabinet, freaky guy on the side! Now I will be afraid late at night in my basement of that guy!

Wow that MK4 cabinet looks alot like a Atari cabinet! The one picture was up by the marquee, and the other was the right side of the control panel.

So you think that Atari bought surplus MK4 cabinets and converted them to Radikal Bikers? I can see that as MK4 sucks. :D

WMS Industries (owners of the Williams, and Bally/Midway arcade brands) owned Atari for a while...
