Well, the back wall of the game was a Contoured 'Standup seat' At the base, there is an algular foot rest so your whole body in titled a few degrees backwards. Feels very comfortable!
There is quad sound that activated durring certain sound fx's. Also, there is are flashing sequential lights that usually flicker when you fall off (if I can remember correctly)
The Monitor was pointed at a special see-thru mirror. When the flourescent lamp behind the mirror was on, you would see the background artwork...(if off - then the mirror would only show the monitor picture) This created an amazing 3d holographic look. There are 3 sets of plastic layers that made this even more dramatic. 2 of the layers were painted in flourescent colors, and glowed brightly in from the blacklight that was located in the front (of middle? cant remember) side of the glass.
The inside side walls are made of a mirror like material - so it creates an infinity view on either side of you.
The stick, and all of the neon are was illuminted by a front mounter blacklight. Amazing!
There is even a bottom panel behing the footrest that contains a blacklight that lights the floor up!
This is the most Artistic Cabinet Ever produced Period.

The rear of the cab has a great Marque thats is made of that material that if you move left to right - the picture is 3d, and the images (large disc) changes perspective)
I have a friend that has one. I will try to post pics when I get a chance.
