I was j(o)ust wondering: are the cabinets of Moon Patrol and Joust identical or is there a difference? Judging from pictures, they seem to be the same and I've read somewhere that there is a slight difference in cabinet style, but WHERE?

the sides are identical on the outsides.. on the inside of the sides, there are a few extra recessed joints. The joust is wider, as was pointed out. Also, there are a few measurements that aren't exact as far as coin door placement and control panel hinge bolt holes are located.
 
Does this mean that Joust originated the term "Widebody", and Mario Bros. came second?

The KLOV database states that the idea of Mario Bros. being a 2 player simultaneous game was inspired by Joust, I guess the same applies with the cabinet?

nice, stir the pot and get the ninty lovers get all wound up
