I think the Judges vanished :P
I hope I don't have to make any decisions on this one :).

So unless I missed something there are 3 categories:
Best Reproduction
(Defender) - Not sure if the user "Houdini" made this one, but if so I would say it should be in the running. See it on Pg2.
(Pac Man)
(Space Invaders)
(Computer Space)
(Double Dragon II)
Best Cocktail
(No Entries)
Best Mame
(Pac Man Conversion)
Is that all of them? No one did a cocktail?
Howard_Casto:
Although I really like it, i think the pacman conversion is automatically disqualified.
It's not a reproduction, it's not a cocktail and it's not a scale model of an innovative new cab design. Simply put, it's not a model at all, it's just a cool toy 1up made. Again don't take this the wrong way, I think it's really cool, it just has nothing to do with the competition.
But yeah only 3 entries, kinda disappointing isn't it?

After they extended the deadline I was going to do a micro Ms pacman Cocktail to go with my micro pacman upright .I decided against it because I thought there would have been alot of cocktail entries. To tell the truth I though there would have been alot more entries in all the categories.

Well, as much as I wanted to win that spinner, I think Computer Space is out of the running. It actually looks better than the pictures make it seem at normal viewing distance, but the closeups and the metal flake paint make every surface imperfection visible, and I should have taken more care trimming the bezel and put "glass" over the front.
The Defender is a great Monopoly piece, but lacks any detail. The Double Dragon is a nice start, but is incomplete.
That leaves Space Invaders Deluxe and Pac-Man.
Space Invaders Deluxe was a more complicated machine to duplicate, and it was pulled off very nicely. The buttons were a nice alternative to the expected printed control panel. That mirroring system is brilliant, and the artwork is spot-on. The lighting is gorgeous, although I don't thnk it counts.
The Pac-Man, however, is such a perfect replica that one coud mistake it for a real machine with a giant ruler next to it. That micro coin door is a nice touch! We can't count the fact that it works, though, and that actually hurts it silghtly as it now has the wrong type of joystick.
Every minute I think it's clear who the winner is, and five minutes later I change my mind. If I could, I'd split up the prizes or beg the donators to donate a second set, but I don't think either of those is likely. I'm glad I don't have to make the decision!
