Did you know that Quake had an arcade release?

It's true:

The cabinet shows this game ran on... a PC... big surprise:

Check out these controls:

I saw a cabinet on sale for $5000 online today. (Insta-prize!)

That's freaking cool though. Instantly made me think of this goof.

Very cool stuff.

I have definitely played an FPS or two in an arcade with a setup very much like this. I don't know if they were ports or obscure original arcade only games though, I always think it would be impossible to figure out what they were. I just know they were kind of like Dreamcast/PS2 era material.
