Cabinet Information
The game is played on mulitple horizontally-oriented, 13-inch diagonal color monitors aligned straight across (so it is quite wide and heavy). The monitors are mounted with two of them facing upwards and the other facing the player. A half-reflecting mirror is used to align the images with an inch or two of overlap. Two versions of this game were made: the common three-screen version (like the original Darius) and a harder to find two-screen version.
