The Cabinet
The Crystal Brawl cabinet was retired in early 2020 and was converted by Chris Hernandez during the COVID-19 pandemic to the Wondercab. He used a Shaper Origin CNC machine to etch the names of the Kickstarter backers, DBA Arcade members, and other supporters into the sides of the cabinet.
Availability
The Wondercab can be played at Wonderville at 1186 Broadway in Brooklyn NY. It features games for 3-month residencies that rotate seasonally.
