Don't know if there's a list (being the internet, there is no doubt one, I don't know). Atari and Midway made many cabaret games during the 80's. Here are pics of a few:

I have the bosconian edition of it, as a matter fo fact all them william cabarets have the same body, quite sexy if you ask me, I wanted to convert this into a galaga one guiven that I like that game more, since all you have to do is change the art and presto, but Bosconian is an even more rare cab so I'm keeping it the way it is.

I was thinkking however to install one of the 48 in one contraptions in it just to have all the calssics on a working cabaret cab. I would love to get more but the space is an issue.

Also note that I would have to change the orientation of the monitor, but that's cake.;)

Nice! That baby pacman must be fucking awsome with the pinball elements in a cabaret.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Love to see a picture of that.

There's a hot dog stand near my house that still has a Centipede cabaret. CP is a little worn out, but it's still running. Love those cabs.

I have a Ms Pacman, I redid the power supply and made it more modern and bought an adapter to Jamma. It still needed a couple mods then I threw the 48 in 1. I still have the original board. I hooked up button 1 to player 1 and button 2 to player 2. I like how small it is as well. Ive been thinking about getting a black vinyl and redoing the sides and front.

I think the best part of this cabs is that they have the wood grain print on them, to me that's what makes them stand out. My advice; keep it original as much as possible while restoring the look, but do the internal mods, I'm sure is gonna be great!

Not gloating just showing you why you shouldn't paint it.
