Since FF is horizontal, and that cabinet looks a bit too tight to accommodate a monitor rotation.... I'm guessing your Ikari bezel is probably one that was used by the op to support the Skins bezel. I remember doing that with other games we were trying to finish. Bezel cutting is boring and if one fits and is rigid enough... bam, done. I think it went from FF to Skins. Was that in TNT's warehouse? If so, then I remember seeing a video that Todd did of a tour years ago and that was there.... I think it was around 2019/2020. Cool that you ended up with it.
It fits a horizontal monitor just fine. Atari Ireland released multiple horizontal game in the same/similar cabinet, including Popeye (licensed from Nintendo for distribution in the European market). This came from a private seller’s basement who got it from a bar that shut down. TNT had one painted with this textured (truck liner?) paint??
If you don't end up having any luck acquiring the food fight wire harness, I have a centipede wiring harness I bought from quarter arcade to restore my centipede cab back before I realized I couldn't like the game enough to go thru the hassle no matter how much I tried to like it. Free if it helps you to get your game working
Thanks! From what I've heard, some of the earlier Irish-built cabs (e.g., Kangaroo) were distributed in Canada before making their way south to the US, while later Irish machines (e.g., Food Fight) were sold in the US as "Euro style" cabs by Atari. So I guess it's not too shocking to see them here.
Super cool.. I have a control panel with that golf overlay always thought it was just something that someone threw on so there was something on the control panel. kinda cool to know it was actually for a particular game..
And apparently this PCB (which I was able to get working in another cabinet) is somewhat valuable as it can be converted to other games like R-Type Leo! 😱
Excellent video as usual. Over here in the UK, any Atari game we got was from Atari Ireland. Interestingly, Atari Ireland licensed a few other games as well and we got both Nintendo Popeye and Konami Timepilot in a cab very similar to that.
Thanks for the kind words! I think Atari Ireland produced Millipede in the same cabinet too. However, my understanding is that Food Fight was the only one with an offset coin door to make room for a speaker grill on the front panel.
My channel members have enlightened me that these Irem M92 boards are somewhat sought-after. After releasing this video, I tested the Irem Skins Game PCB in a functioning JAMMA cabinet and it works (although the audio is scratchy/popping)! So yes, I'll be looking to sell or trade it. If you're interested, please send me a PM on KLOV or an email to the address listed in my channel profile!
Awesome pickup! I am the one who repainted the Ms Pacman on Facebook. Hope to see you paint your Ms Pacman as well.
Thanks, Anthony - the paint codes you shared will be a huge help!
Any standard Atari raster power brick will work expect for Missile Command.
Good to know! I’m already working to track one down!

@@overtimearcade Yeah, makes sense. Good to know another Irish cab has been saved, and a cabaret at that.
@Postproductioneditor Yep, it’s got a good forever home now!

Wow, that would be incredible, thank you!!! Can you please send me a PM on KLOV or email me at the address listed in my channel profile?
Love that you're finding these cabs in the U.S., good luck finding any over here in Ireland, lol.

What I gather, Food Fight is a Horizontal game. How it looks in MAME too. 256x224 H resolution according to MAME info.
Thanks! Yup, good thing it’s standard res since I would want to have to track down a medium res monitor!
This is going to be fun to watch it come back
Thanks, I sure hope so!
Awesome, great game to play, proper joystick is essential.
Yessir, I hope I’m able to track down a nice one!
I guessed it was a Millipede, wrong. Glad it wasn't, Food Fight is a much better find.
I'd still be happy with a Millipede, but yes, I agree that Food Fight is cooler!
This looks like a fun project for sure!
Thanks, let’s hope it doesn’t break the bank! 😅
Love Food Fight!
Thanks, but… 🚨 SPOILER ALERT! 😂
Nice score Charlie
Thanks! Let’s hope this thing doesn’t turn into a money pit though!
I have a Irish asteroid deluxe
They’re really great cabinets!
I’ll buy the irem pcb if you want to sell :)
