I dont think the ireland games had any sideart, just woodgrain. the cabs
were all pretty generic. Foodfight, Crystal casltes, and Millipede all
used the same cabinet as did a few others I'm sure.. I have 2 ireland
built games, a BZ mini and a Soccer. they both have Stainless steel coin
doors that look really cool too.. their wiring harnesses are held
together with electrical tape instead of ty wraps and the T-moulding they
used is different too..

Now I'd like to see some of the japan built Atari games.. I recall they
sold the japan factory in '76 to Namco? I'll bet the surviving number of
games built there could be counted on one hand.. if there are any left at
all.
