i played a vector game from williams in a fairground when i was very young,

it was black&white, big and the control panel had a lot of buttons.
it had these segmented pods on the screen and small pirate spacecraft would try to grab a segment an run away.

atleast i think that was how it played - i didnt play it.

the cab was a similar design to asteroids though, big and with a large control-panel.

the buttons were all small, like atari red start buttons but they werent, they where silver-metal, probably aluminium.
