Taito Phoenix Trimline - legit?

Yup, it was licensed by Taito for release in Japan and Europe.

Taito seemingly secured the global rights to Phoenix for many years and even included it in one of their Taito Legends compilation discs for the PS2 and Xbox consoles in North America. Shortly after that Taito seemingly scrubbed any mention of Phoenix. To this day nobody actually knows who developed Phoenix and Pleiades.
 
Hey guys,

I found this photo online and was wondering if it was homegrown or if Taito actually made this. I've seen the Centuri version of Phoenix in a mini, but never anything from Taito. Looks legit to me.

Thoughts?

Probably a European cabaret version. Played alot of Phoenix in the day. Great sound and good gameplay.
Most of those cabarets went to Europe, some would end up for the most part in american bar rooms though. Never played alot of cabarets I usually just saw full size cabs.
 
Jason, This is legit, but a rare version (cabinet) of Phoenix.
