Saw this on chicago's CL... It looks like a cabaret space invaders, but when I looked in the database I didn't see this model. Do you think this is a custom cabinet or is this another model / a bootleg / a clone?

Looks like a Bi-Plane cab converted into a Space Invaders clone.

I have a trimeline I do not know if it was a space invaders or what because it is now a trivia whiz.

What does the instruction sheet stuck to the inside of the cabinet say?

What colors are on the bezel?

Well i think it might be a QIX because it has a yellow bezel if you look at a space invades it has red and yellow but are there more games that have a JUST yellow bezel?
the instruction card has been replaced with question mark stickers.
I will post pics in project update trivia whiz thread soon.

I'm talking about the sticker on the inside of the cabinet, left wall. I can see it in your pictures.

It's usually instructions for dip switch settings / a picture of the PCB / monitor / etc.

It only said the dip switch and the stuff for power ect.
If it did I would be happy and might bring it back to what it was but it will be a trivia whiz for now.

Right. Based on what it says about dip switches, you can determine what game it was. For instance, if it says, "dip switch for saucer" or something like that, it was probably a Space Invaders and not a Qix. Even just the number of dip switches listed can help.

Go read, and post what you find. ;)

upon closer inspection....the paper said
"VIDEO ROM CHECKSUM" "DATA/SOUND HARDWARE CHECKSUM"
random numbers for rom random numbers for thing
random numbers for rom random numbers for thing
ect.ect.ect. ect.ect.ect.

and more things like that. And nothing about what game it is.

Those are referenced in the Qix manual, but I can't find them in the Space Invaders manual.

Anyone else, feel free to chime in...
