I was just curious if there was ever a list of all the games that
came in a mini cabinets compiled ? Also, I think there was someone on
this board that had somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 mini cabs. Are
there any pics of all his cabs. on the web ? LMK
thanks, Rich

I have pics of most of the following, but an "*" shows I
still need pics of one. There are still a # of games
that exist that are not on my list (yet). :) My hope
is to someday put together a site showing all of these
games/cabinets. Todd T. has all of these except for a
few, based on conversations we've had over the years.
If you know of any others that truly exist, PLEASE SAY
SO AND E-MAIL ME A PICTURE!!!

He's shopping out that bowl!
Next step is the speckle paint...
Hi Scott...a great list...I have below some updates to the list...there are
other games too that are not on the list, but my collection is in storage as
my new game room is built in my new house...I will then be able to display
my entire mini collection!
Atari--dedicated cabaret KLAX and TETRIS and of course FOOD FIGHT!
The Red Baron is in the Euro cabinet---I have a manual for this game---but
need the game!
The Gravitar does exist--2 newsgroupers have them! Wish I could get one
too!
Nintendo--I have a real dedicated Playchoice 10--it has a 9 inch monitor on
top and a 15 inch monitor below..its amazing!
SNK--Neo Geo was only made in a 2 slot
Taito--add Jungle King to the list
Sega/Gremlin--Afterburner (yes there is a cabaret)...also Zaxxon. These
three games--Digger, Astro Fighter, and Mad Alien--I classify as "super
minis"...as they are only waist high...there was a small factory stand that
raised them up 8 more inches that could be added. Also, there are 3
trimlines I include in the mini list as they are so small....about 17 inches
square, and stand as tall as your naval, you can stand or sit at them in
tall stools to play..the screen reverses like a cocktail...I have Carnival,
Astro Fighter, and two different DUAL games--Invinco/Head On 2 and
Invinco/Deep Scan.
Space Wars is Cinematronics and was made in cabaret version--one can be seen
in pictures from California Extreme show.
The conversion kit for Crystal Castles was for Missle Command full size--not
the cabaret.
Also, you really should count these as dedicated minis--as full size
versions were made.
Team Play---Defender /Stargate, Joust/Robotron, and
Centipede/Millipede/Missle Command.
Namco--Class of 81, Pacman 25th, Space Invaders/Qix, Donkey Kong Trio
Hope this helps the list!! Todd from TNT Amusements

Todd T. and I saw one listed on ebay that had Zaxxon side-art
under the Super Zaxxon side-art (the game was a Super Zaxxon).
That means one of two things... either the game was converted
at the factory (and is dedicated) or it was converted in the
field with a conversion kit. Todd said he was going to check
his quite some time ago, but I never heard back on what he
found (I believe his games are still in storage until the new
gameroom is built).
Anyone else have one to compare to, seen one, etc.?
Scott C.
Here are others not listed that I have:
Merit..Phraze Craze and Trivia Whiz---both dedicated.
Nichibutsu--Moon Base cabaret
Kural Samno---Crush Roller cabaret
Scott...if you could tack on to your list my want list below, so people know
I am trying to find every mini and dedicated game...I plan on donating the
entire collection on my death to any museum that will keep the collection
together and displayed! But will keep them in my game room until
then--hopefully, its a long time away! Todd
I have managed to collect some 95 dedicated arcade video games in the
cabaret/mini form now. Trying to collect all that were made. My stipulation
is that a full size version was made as well. Many early 70's games were in
small cabinets and I do not qualify them. If you can help, it would be
GREATLY appreciated. My plan is on my death, to have the entire collection
donated to a museum that would allow public access to the machines.
Here is what I am still missing:
Shark Attack--Pacific Novelty--1981--cabaret
Vanguard--Centuri --1981--cabaret
Space Wars--Cinematronics--1979--cabaret
Red Baron--Atari--1980--cabaret
Gravitar--Atari--1981--cabaret
Major Havoc--Atari--1981--cabaret
Space Force---Venture Line---1980--cabaret
Space Demon--Nntendo--1980--cabaret
Radar Scope--Nintendo--1980--cabaret
Donkey Kong Jr--Nintendo--1981--cabaret
Domino Man---Midway---1982--mini
Star Fighter--Potomac--1981--cabaret
I am told these Taito games were made in mini cabinets--never saw one, but
you never know...Lock & Chase, Stratovox, Lunar Rescue, Zookeeper, and
Elevator Action.

I had a converted cab (arkanoid) with tags inside that said
super zaxxon.
some changes,...
there was a mini conversion kit for Pacman Plus--I have one.
Caterpiller is the correct spelling.
Carnival and both "dual" games are Trimlines.
Astro Fighter were made as a Trimline and a Super Mini--in addition to the
upright.
Move Gravitar to the Euro section
Please also note I am missing Food Fight and the euro Black Widow also.
Tapper---I am surprised---never was aware this was a mini..because of the
gold appointments...are you sure? If you are, them I am missing that one
too.
Also, scott has mentioned a Final Lap 3 mini...anyone actually see one?

7-31-06 - Revision 3
--------------------
Legend:
* - Shows a dedicated cabinet I still need good pics of.
+ - Shows a dedicated cabinet newly made since year 2000.
# - Shows a dedicated cabinet Todd @ TNT still needs to
complete his collection of all mini/cabarets.
CLARIFICATIONS
==============
- Atari normally called their smaller cabinets "cabarets". They
also made games in smaller cabinets for the European market
known as a "euro", which is larger than a cabaret, but smaller
than an upright.
- Midway and most of the rest of the industry called them "minis"
- Sega/Gremlin sold two small styles of cabinets, one known as
"trimlines" and "super minis". The trimlines were a smaller
version of a typical mini, while the super minis were really
short, so they were almost cocktails.
Current list stands at 112 and includes new mini games made
since year 2000, the same game released by different
manufactures in different mini cabinets (Crazy Climber) and
some trivia/poker style games/cabinets.

if it is considered then Todd has one as well, maybe 2 in the
warehouse?? I cant remember...

Please add Battlezone to the Euro list...
I recently picked one up from sirpinball that has a Made in Ireland
sticker on it (230VAC)...also uses cedar for the back door posts.
(a work still in progress BTW)
Thanks - SideTracked
i like dirtbikes too =)
And add EXIDY's Crush Roller - made in Ireland (Todd has at least one -
got it from me).
We do have a Taiwanese (?) clone Galaxian mini/cabaret (white cabinet)
at the TTW (Time Travel Warehouse), am looking for more minis...
