Introduction

I intend on remaking a Taito Trimline arcade machine.

Taito Trimline arcade machines are a "cabaret" machine - which is a stand up machine, but not quite full size - a midi machine if you like.

Taito Trimlines came in different flavours (different games, artwork and control layouts)

These types of machines were popular in Germany, where floor space was important.

Some of the various Trimlines I can think of (from members help on www.jammplus.co.uk) are-

Phoenix (the one I have)

Crazy Climber

Polaris

Space Invaders

Jungle Hunt aka Jungle King

There isn't much info about them on the internet, but the most popular versions of this machine seem to be Phoenix and Space Invaders.

I intend to make my version of the machine and put Arkanoid into it, as Taito never made an Arkanoid in this style of machine. If all goes well with this project I may make more Trimlines with other Taito games in them. Maybe a Bubble Bobble would be nice? Who knows?
