actually thats just the laminate vinyl at closer inspection
 
Not gun fight that cabinet is totally different: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8039

I would say its a Joust: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8243

Or at least I'm sure hoping it is I don't know of any other game cocktail that looks like this.

Hmm, they really screwed up that front...

Yeah I was looking at that but it should be a really easy fix just a piano hinge and a few pices of wood. Anyone have a coin mech like the one on the Joust cocktail cabinet up for grabs?

The best part is that it was only $90
 
Just got back from the pickup man that was a hellish drive in the rain to say the least! The cabinet looks basically the same as the picture except that there is some sort of weird ass plywood base on the bottom of the thing and that is going to be knocked off soon. The guy has a lot of stuff even saw an Omega race tucked away in the corner. I picked up another cocktail that for the life of me I can't remember the name of the game the guy said it was, or for that matter even if he knew. Its a midway and it has a complete GO5 13" monitor in it! The guy also threw in 2 other 13" monitors for free as well. He said he had the game board and went rummaging for one I saw him pick one up and I said that looks like a space invaders he said no it was the game board. He then showed me another space invaders board to compare the size it was bigger but it still ended up being a Space Invaders Deluxe board when I looked at it when I got home. Funny thing is it slid right in to the cabinet plastic PCB holders I think the guy just got lucky plus there was no lighting in the out shop to make things easy to see. Well at least I got the 13"GO5 if nothing else in the deal and that alone was worth the trip.

Tell me if you guys know what this game is:

Cool I guess I got a good score now that I searched a bit seems like getting a hold of the PCB's might take a little work. Is the cocktail version Omega Race fairly common? I know there a bunch of fans of the game on here I have never played the game personally.


Just checked for a serial number: 0889 nothing to special there.

Where is the serial number located in a Joust cocktail?

Ok, I have lots of pictures of the Joust cocktail. I had like 20 min today to mess with it and made an awesome discovery the original plastic CP plastics are unhacked. The only thing wrong with them is the tiny little nail holes that are left over from the plastic cover. The good news is that the holes are on the black parts and I can fill and touch them up. My only question is do they just sell the plastic next to the coin door or do you have to buy an entire set?

That is a GREAT stroke of luck.

I like the Omega Race cocktail, too. I really hope you're able to restore that one.
 
I should be able to when I get some more cash just blew my wad going up there and getting the extra Omega Race CT. There are a lot of small boards in that thing. I have lots of stuff now to trade for a set of boards if anyone's interested. I will be posting pictures soon for possible sale/trade when I get a few spare hours to sort through it all. I don't even care if the boards work.
