A collage of four nighttime shots showing the mini arcade cabinet marquee lamp lit up in different colors — white, red, blue, and green. Each lighting mode creates a unique retro glow, highlighting the "Asteroids" game panel.

the second image is a slightly different earlier version showing the outrun panel instead of the asteroids.

The Yamaha DX7 keyboard has a variant of the same type of digital FM synthesis as the Yamaha YM2151 used in so many arcade games from 1986 onward.

If you haven't seen S.S.T. Band (Sega Sound Team) before, they do live performances of arcade game themes. Here's Magical Sound Shower from OutRun.

The band still tours as Blind Spot. Search both names on YouTube.

Pretty beefy (expensive) chips on the arcade game.
