Back in march 2009 I ordered the paper plans for an arcade cabinet, a 27″ arcade monitor and 4 sheets of MDF plywood. When the rain calmed down construction started in April:
So now lets buy a computer to run it, 2 joysticks, keyboard encoder, trackball, spinner, mouse encoder and 24 buttons. When June came around, I had something playable:
That was the worst mistake, Once it became playable things slowed down a lot.
7 years later, Still no artwork on the poor thing. My idea of a mosaic of Dirk the Daring made out of images from other video games did not look good unless you were really far away. Then Madeline wanted nothing to do with the idea of her in the middle with a karate gi surrounded by classic fighter characters 🙁 So here it sits. Played occasionally, but longing to be complete. This is why I’m starting with the backglass of the pinball. But its already playable too……
