A fellow klover and I went and picked this up off craigslist, thought it was neat for the younger kids. The game plays tugboat. Is this a Moppet?

Normally I have seen that generic Tuni art kit on full sized cabinets, like on Radar Zone and such.

Searching the web for Tuni tugboat arcade doesn't really bring up any valid hits other than the craigslist ad you bought it from (and thousands of emulation related lists in which both tuni and tugboat appear on the same page but not related to each other.
 
No. Moppet is a type of small cabinet specifically designed for little kids and Noice. There were only a limited number of games released by the company that did the Moppet cabinets (if I recall correctly, I think the name of the company that first did them was Moppet). They were in Chuck E Cheeses and ShowBiz Pizzas.

If Steve (Noice) hadn't been run off, he could have answered this in a heartbeat.

Look at the pin in the picture, that game is barely taller than the playfield is high, and it is running a known moppet game and I know I saw pictures of that style cabinet in Steve's assorted moppet pics.

You do realize that is an infant sitting in front of that cabinet, right? :) It looks like a Moppet to me. Also look at how large the coin door is in comparison to the cabinet.

I looked back at PrairieDillo's JAMMoppet, and the cabinet looks identical:

Thanks for pointing out my optical problems. :D

I wasn't looking at it that closely. In the first pic it looks like a full sized cab that the picture cut off. I wasn't even looking at the JP next to it.

Plus I have had a nasty cold for a few days and everything looks bigger. Or at least my head feels about 3 ft wide right now.

and yes it is...

the pieces that hold in the marquee are the same as mine as are the speaker grill.

I say GUT IT and do what I did to it!
 
Yes. It is a moppet. I owned the same cab with the same Tuni generic artwork. The serial was 008. Not sure whats up with the grill though.
 
GEEZ! Fifteen weeks and you are already grooming her to beat my ass on these games, i have enough trouble keeping up with your other kid. :D
