I have a somewhat different Star Trek game conversion that I've never seen
done before...some one put it into an Asteroids Deluxe cabinet! Inverted the
image from the monitor and projected it just like A.D. over the asteroids
background. Actually, it makes it a much more interesting game that way,
IMHO. The sides are...ick!, wood grain, but I do have some side art waiting
to be applied. The control panel has a Star Trek overlay on it as well, but
no monitor bezel. The bezel is still A.D. with the Star Trek instructions
stuck on it over th A.D. instructions.
Just adding my .02.
Regards,
Tom Cloud
