I've never seen one myself, but it's apparently a Pacman clone:

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pac-Man_clones
-----------------------------------------------
Mighty Mouth was a game by A-1 Machines that District Court Judge Warren Keith Urbom described as "for all practical purposes, identical to ...Pac-Man"[4] Among the similarities cited were the color and shape of the player character and ghosts, the maze configurations, the sound effects, the paths of the characters in the attract mode and the paths of the characters in both the attract mode and a game where the player does not move.[5] Midway, owners of the Pac-Man copyrights, were granted summary judgment for copyright and trademark infringement in 1983.[6]

If yours is running, you may want to dump the ROMs, I'm not sure those are available online anywhere yet.
 
Was this sold as a conversion kit or a dedicated cabinet? Please post more pics if the later. Thanks.

It looks very much like the generic short/cabaret cabinet a bunch of games came in - with the top cropped a bit.
 
It appears to be dedicated, but made by a bootleg or small company. The bezel is also the control panel, etc. I'll post some more pictures when I get time to snap some. Pretty cool little machine.
 
Here's what the bezel and control panel looks like. I'll probably fix it up here in a few days and get the monitor and sound back where they need to be.

I think it's a neat-looking cab. Is it a solid cab or is it built out of the cheapest materials they could find?

Post a pic from the side if you have one.

The game and the judgements are pretty cool. Can't be too many of these around.
 
The two pics I posted are from the guy I bought it from... In the next couple days I'll take a bunch of pictures to show everybody what it looks like. The side is woodgrain with no sideart, and the game has a slanted back like it's slanted front. Kind of shaped like a minature Tron, lol. It has a 19" monitor, a K4600. The power supply is some open framed switcher. The construction is actually done pretty well and solid, but it's made out of laminated particle board, the inside of the cabinet is the same white that you see on the monitor surround. It's in fantastic shape with the exception of the extra bolt holes around the joystick, and the mising joystick knob.

Definitely. In a lot of these type cases, the machines will end up getting destroyed due to court order. It's probably not worth a whole lot, but it is an interesting and rare bit of arcade history. And it looks like a neat little cabinet.
