I want whatever game I obtain next to be a cabaret sized machine. I'm just not certain which one yet.

I am leaning towards Ms. Pac-Man, but I don't know how original that will look with a full sized Pac-Man machine already in my collection!

I already own a Missile Command cocktail table, so that one would be out as well.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone own a cabaret that they are very pleased with?

Do any of them have any unique designs to them that make them stand out above others?

Were any of them manufactured especially better than any other?

Just trying to decide what I want to get before I decide when and where to buy.

Any ideas would be welcomed!
 
i just picked up a sega turbo a few weeks ago

Oh no, it just has a big old record player butted up against it. It goes all the way to the floor. Its about 5 and a half feet tall. There was also a full size and a cockpit turbo but this was the mini model

Yeah, now I see it!

That one does look good, and I currently don't have a driving game...

Can anybody else think of a a mini cabinet that has it's own 'distinct' look?
 
Very true, but I already own a full sized Pac-Man.

So, for whatever cabaret that I end up getting, I want it to be a little different.

What games were distributed in cabaret sized cabinets?

Is there a list of some sort?
 
My favs are the Centipede Cabaret, Space Invaders Trimline, Donkey Kong Cabaret and the Asteroids Cabaret. I own a Ms. Pac cabaret which is also nice.
 
I like the Robotron cabaret because of the playability despite the smaller format, and the aesthetic touches (like the back-lit instruction panel).
 
A unique feature with turbo is the way the high scores are displayed across those 5 LCD screens on top of the monitor and not on the actual monitor. I'm a car guy too and it definatly had that "race track" feel to it so it went well with my automobilia collections too

The Turbo cabaret is a neat little machine. There were quite a few in restaurants where I grew up.
