Arcade !

[BrainEater]

I'd like to present the start of my latest project !

I bought this today for 100$ :



--------

Now , I have always wanted my own 'actual stand up video game' . I finally have one ,and I'm a fabricator so.........Modding to come

Here's a couple more shots ;

----------



----------

The guts ;



-----------

Here's the plan :

-Remove the guts and clean.
-Fix the case where required.
-Install a computer with an appropriate display , to run MAME.
-Build and install all the needed controllers.....
-cosmetic surgery etc....

-------

When it's done it will be capable of playing nearly all arcade games......

Dang! Subscribed! I always wanted one, or a pinball machine. But the problem with those is finding one with a table surface that isn't too damaged.

Sweet!

Pinball machines are wicked but the old games , IDC for the newer pinball machines.

Spent hours on Defender, tempest and robotron.
Galaga, edt, ect, ect. Looking forward to this built.

Hehe.......I have no doubt we would have met "out-back of the arcade" , had we grown up in the same area...

Should be a good build.I have the computer already.Gonna get the best display I can find for this app........

This kind of build is definitely on my to do list, once I get more cash flow. I'll definitely be watching your progress with interest! Good luck!

If i had the cash id love to do something like that. When i get my own house i plan to get one with a big basement, put a few of those in maybe, a big tv, bar, pool table etc. Basically a full arcade/bar in my basement :D

I tell ya, Braineater has some of the best projects going!

[klaiboi]

I think when this and the thinktank are done I'm coming over for a few beers...

I would love to do something like this

[SKYMTL]

I think the question is....does it still work in its original form???

[Phobia]

that is awsome. You should keep the money thing and charge .25$ to play

In all seriousness that will be one sweet project. you're lungs are going to take a beating from all of the dust in that thing
