...are kick ass! They are by far my favorite. I just picked up a Sea Wolf, and although it's not 100% working yet, it made me realize that I love these "floating image" games. I have a Space Invaders and an Asteroids Deluxe, and now Sea Wolf, and these games with mirrors and blacklights are awesome. Which leads to my question - how many cabs used this technique? Besides the one's I already mentioned, I know of SI Deluxe, Boot Hill, and Kick. I'm sure there are others though...
 
I love those games. I believe Omega Race has it too.

Frogs (not a Frogger clone). Great game, great cabinet. MAME doesn't do it justice because of the overlay needed. It's a black & white game with a color over lay. See the last screen shot pic on KLOV:

Hard game to find though. If you ever get the chance to pick one up, do so (and if you don't like it, sell it to me!).
 
Solar Quest. It looks like the black cardboard in the back was just misted with neon paint off of a toothbrush. Hardly a "star" effect.
