These are some of the other 'aussie' style MAME projects,
reviews, restorations and plans out there. More properly
they are 'japanese' style and appeared in Europe and the
US too. Us aussies call them aussie because we never saw
any other type! In fact several of these examples aren't
even in Australia. But i'm glad that was the only type we
had because i think these look great. I've been in love
with my MAME cabinet since i built it and so here is a
chance for others to feel the love. I think there is
absolutely no better way to play Space Invaders, Frogger
or Galaga than sitting at a cocktail cab (",)

The
cocktail
lounge (this is the guy that inspired me. mine is
very similar to his. and obviously inspired the name
of my page too!)
An
excellent Hankin cab, actually about 6 of them!
