Some rare Cabaret Games! Spiders, Mega Tech, Space Zap, others - TNT Amusements

Here are some pix of one wall in my gameroom where I have some of my favorite games! Radical Radial, Spiders, Sega Mega Tech System, Spectar, Satan's Hollow, Solar Fox, Wizard Of Wor, Space Zap (working!), Robby Roto (working!), a cabaret Kangaroo, my one "full size" game which I love--Route 16, and a tiny Neo Geo!

That Neo Geo a Moppet conversion? Is that a multicart menu I see on the screen?
 
I really like the red T Molding you did on the Satan's Hollow cabaret.
I have one as well and am planning on doing a small resto on it next month (painting, tmolding etc).
Not sure if I should stray from the "original" look or not. I definitely think that Red makes it look better.

Wish someone would repro the CP Overlay for a Cabaret!!

Thanks everyone for your comments!...the Neo Geo is a real dedicated mini! Yes, I got the multi Neo for it as my daughters have a few favorites in this system! It ahs a dedicated 2 slot board inside....not sure how many were made of this either...it uses a 13" Wells Gardner monitor. To answer other questions about minis, I wrote this letter I am also printing here!
The Radical Radial cabinet style you see--like Spiders (I also have other games, like Space Panic) in this style cabinet is considered a "cabaret"...like the Kangaroo machine--also considered a "cabaret" and not a mini! Atari made these smaller machines for Ireland because of size...and I also have Millipede, Fast Freddie, Pole Position 2 and I think one other in this style cabinet...I had years a go a Food Fight in this cabinet too...supposedly, Space Dual was made this way and wehave seen a picture of a Gravitar in this same cabaret!
Crazy Climber had three versions---a mini, a cabaret, and a full size--plus a cocktail!...we collectors wish of course, that lots of other games were made this way!!

I would love to find a Lock and Chase, Swimmer, The Pit, and others in a small or smaller cabinet! Todd
 
Do you have a Ramtek Hit Me? Not sure if that counts as a cocktail or a mini.
 
Todd, those are just amazing!

Is there any way you can get some individual pics posted up of them? I would really like to see the details...
 
Nice to see your collection, Todd.

Do you consider some of the early Atari short cabinets cabarets? Pinpong, Tank II, Shark Jaws, Qwak, Trak 10, etc. Just wondering what constitutes cabaret vs standard size.
 
they could be considered cabarets or minis, but because there was never a FULL SIZE version too, I never counted them to be in my collection!

Funny story. When Al was telling me we had video of Todd's Mini Game collection for the next DVD, I had something different in mind. So the first time he shows me the video I say something like "So where is the MiniGame video?". For some reason I had in my mind that a minigame was like those tiny Pacman table top arcade machines. :) doh. If Al would have said Cabaret or something like that, I would have know what he meant.

Todd is in about 15 minutes of the the just released Pins and Vids 4 DVD: giving us a tour of this game room. I believe he wasn't fully completed yet with it, but it was close as the video was taken a year or two ago.

He also gives us a tour of his warehouses and tells us a great retail story.
