I was playing Killer Instinct tonight, I missed this game first time around in the arcades in 94. A pretty knifty fluid fighting game very much like mortal kombat Midway, Nintendo and rareware were behind it. lovely looking early 90's style cabinet!

Atari Battlezone Arcade 1980

A game from Atari in 1980 which had a very  unique and special arcade cabinet
two versions of the arcade came out one of which you stood on a step and peered through some periscope style device to play the game. Its possibly the first ever 3D vector game that came out.


Being a fan of the original machine we paid homage to it by building this one off machine.
it took 4 months to design and build with an update on the artwork to match the look of the game more than the original artwork did.
Complete 3D screen surround, two sheets of glass at different angles to give the 3D effect depth
The control panel is fitted with two dual trigger joysticks and  6 buttons each.
