well if you guys wanna make a cool mini arcade cab you should go out and buy a sony PS1 acreen then get a gunboy or simular unit.

The gunboy is 1 of them nes in a n64 controller but the gunboy has like 80 arcade games like galaga space invaders etc.

It also takes famicon games and you can use an adapter to play nes games on it.

This is how we make a NESp (Nintendo entertainmen system portable)
as apart of Bens board we make these and snes handhelds n64 whatever kind we want.

Thats where that ps1 pic came from above ;) that was a handheld ps1 called psp (afew months after wired mag did a thing on the psp sony said they would release a psp 3 months later think about it ;))

Okay, here we go: the first coin-op video game, Computer Space.




Building this cab was a challenge!  Unfortunately, I didn't start taking pictures until I was almost done.

The first task was to build a rough core.  A model of the Computer Space cabinet was built up from a plastic phone jack housing, balsa wood, cardboard, wire, and masking tape, ending up looking like a junkyard version of Johnny 5 from "Short Circuit".  A clay layer was added over this, painstakingly shaped, and allowed to dry.  The clay cracked and shrunk in places, and ended up looking like this:



To smooth out the model, I added frosting:



Okay, it's not actually frosting; it's a color changing spackle that goes on pink and turns white as it dries.

Meanwhile, the art for the control panel and bezel were measured and printed on an HP 8550 Color LaserJet printer.  Finally, the model was painted with automotive metal-flake paint, just as the original cabinets were.

Here is a closer shot of the control panel, bezel and montor:



And heres a player's-eye view of the screen:



All in all, the project took about eight hours to complete.
