Two cabinet types were created for this game: upright and a closed horizontally and vertically rotating cockpit. On the cockpit, only the seat rotated horizontally while the whole cockpit rotated vertically. Both cabinets contain a grey monitor frame with flashing lights at the top that indicate an enemy's "lock" on your craft. The two speakers inside the cockpit at head-level produce excellent stereo sound which really adds to the gameplay.
