[🧵 4/x] Moving on to the arcade unit itself: while Zaxxon might not have the flashiest cabinet, I happen to absolutely adore it! That wood paneling gives me so much nostalgia for "the Wood Generation" (70's/80's, when wood paneling was in vogue), and the contrast of the silver/black of the control panel makes you feel like you're in a warm, wood-panneled spaceship. Maybe it looks a little "functionality-over-form", but I can't help but love that such a (at the time) futuristic game occupied a cabinet that felt so immediately familiar to us in the (then-"Wood Generation") present.
