Last weekend I acquired my first (and possibly only) arcade cabinet. It appears to be a custom cabinet (i.e. not the original manufacturer's cabinet) from the early 1980s.

Uniwar S looks like a conversion of the Galaxians PCB, and has very similar gameplay. It is not a particularly well known game and is probaly not especially collectable. Nonetheless, I will be trying to restore the original PCB and monitor if possible. I will also be doing a MAME conversion, but hope to run them both in the same cabinet. The game is from Irem, the company that later released Moon Patrol and R-Type which are two of my favourite arcade games.
