Cabinet Information
The cabinet is quite unique since the marquee looms out over the leaning players. The sides contain 3-D molded plastic decals which are blue in colour and resemble a large alien cocoon.
Conversion
The game seems to use the same sort of cabinet as Terminator 2: Judgment Day but with different guns and decals. Probably an easy enough conversion.
