Thanks to Bela (aka Belike), here's the pictures of an interesting Dragon's Lair *custom cabinet* he discovered in Italy, located inside the arcade of Mirabilandia, the amusement park of Ravenna  















Regarding the pictures, that cabinet uses Daphne emulator (because of the overlay score display) and not the Ultracade Dragon's Lair 20th anniversary board where the fonts are different...

Anyway, even if it's far from the original cabinet, I like the 'big size' display that must attract people for sure  
The operator responsible for that arcade must be a Dragon's Lair fan for sure, regarding the number of artworks used everywhere on that 'megalo' style monster cabinet   Maybe one of our Italian members here know the responsible for that  

Happy to see Dirk & Daphne are still alive in the Arcade in 2011

I like it, is that a 28" monitor ....?

There was also the manufacturer's metal plate on the back of the cp (could be seen on last pic), but I forgot to take a pic from it.

Wow, that's
HUUUUGE !
... it's the opposite of the modern trend that "tells" to build up small / slim cabinet(s)
Of course my matter is different: I have to carry this item

Ja, lord  !

"crap": hehe, unfortunately I haven't so much money, space and e-skills to acquire, store and fix original stuff, pretending to be a collector... so my way is computer(s) + emulator(s) thrown inside self-builded cabinets !

I think you did a nice job !

Hi Etienne, and thank you !
But I'm not too smart even with woodworks (mainly because I don't have a full set of woodwork machine equipment) , while you are great with  !
Let's tell it in the way Seth Brundle (The Fly, D.Cronenberg, 1986) told how he assembled the teleport pods...
"I'm just a system manager. I tell them how to build (things) for me, then I "mix" those things all together !"

Thats the reason why i don't really like message boards ..
Your cab is well done ! A great work .. I hope this "sounds" better !

I really love that one too
