Nice little generic UK cab between the Asteroids and Missile Command. Something like that would be great to have for a little late 70's/early 80s section in Arcade Simulator. Looks like you've got the carpet right already. And Goliath's galore below... 

Well worth looking at George Wilson's collection of photos from the early to mid 80's.

Some cool old pics in there - nice retro internal decors, couple of side profiles of old machines for potential modelling use too - ta :) 

Neo geo games should be ok, if not crazy controls... and yeah, Chds will be used sparingly if at all... likewise for a Dragon's Lair type machine, those video disc rips are pretty chunky.

Hi John I got trapped in the area where Moon Patrol and Moon Cresta is located, this is not a bug I just could not drag myself away.

If you added Ye Are Kung Fu that would be amazing.

Also I have a tool called Arcade Manager its for another Arcade front end, it downloads all the splash screens, cab art, demo's etc for MAME roms, could be an convenient way of you to get the art etc for the cabinets if need be, I will leave a link. https://steamcommunity.com/app/465780/discussions/0/343786746006038700/

PS If anyone wants to change the buttons if you press the left and right trigger on an xbox pad you can change they keys/buttons, i'm using a 8 button arcade stick, it is normally TAB on the keyboard but this was not working when I tried.
