A bootleg PacMan in a Midway Leader cabinet! Still has some Leader artwork below the monitor.

That is one of the ugliest damn machines I have ever seen (other than homemade). Somebody needs to kill it with fire!
 
Hooooollllllllyyyyy shit! I would love to put that in the middle of a demolition derby track and tee off on that thing.
 
Heh. Reminds me of the Puck-Man (bootleg Pac-Man) I had that was in a Williams Paddle-Ball cabinet. That was probably the oddest conversion I'd seen. The monitor was installed with drywall screws and scraps of broken particle board wedging it into place, and was only secured at the bottom. The control panel slants down at a weird angle (it's meant for pong knobs), so the joystick was mounted right in the center and it was odd to play. The cabinet actually looked pretty cool, with it's orange formica monitor surround, but the whole bottom of the cabinet was so water damaged that it wasn't salvageable.
