The 50 Greatest Video Game Cabinets Print E-mail

Top50Cabs The gang over at i-mockery.com have put together a list of what they consider the 50 Greatest Video Game Cabinets In Video Game History.

The article starts you off with #50 being Space Invaders and the writers declaring "Nobody can deny the desire to pop a quarter into this ol' machine should they be lucky enough to spot it. The inviting drawings on this cabinet helped catch people's attention and made Space Invaders hugely successful. What's nice is how some of the artwork on the faceplate actually bleeds into the screen area."

Read on as they go through several different cabinets that span the decades including the classic Computer Space and Man Eater and moving on into modern day pheonomenons such as Guitar Freaks and DDR.  

The article reads like a who's who of video games and gives you cause to pay attention to not only the game itself, but appreciate the cabinet as an artform and the thought and creativity that went into designing some of these great cabinets. 

Thanks to RetroBlast! Reader Jacktucky for the tip.
