Micro Cab competition (Prizes). DEADLINE EXTENDED
Apollo:
Yeah me to. Oh well we got a couple of awesome entries out of it.
RetroJames:
I think I have to disagree. One of the categories was or is MAME cab. I think that the PAC conversion qualifies in that regard. I actually thought it was quite funny that 1UP "hacked" a "classic" pac man cab for a MAME project. It does indeed play multiple games. Looking at the rules, I don't see anything stating that the whole thing has to be fabricated.
One possible point of contention is the requirement, "...and should be authentic arcade in appearence ( you know what I mean ). This means that the only thing going to your cab is a power lead nothing else. No hand held controls."
While I suppose you could argue that 1up's conversion is not "authentic arcade in appearance" that statement is qualified later by a comment about the power and no hand held controls. One for the judges to decide I think.
Anyway, they are all cool. I feel like a dope that I did not do one, (20/20 hindsight). I sure could use that spinner and no offense, but I am pretty sure I would have wasted you guys! ;D

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?

No your missing the point... it's a MODEL competition.... that's not a scale model of anything... read the categories and descriptions of the contest again and maybe you'll understand this time. The mame category was for the best MODEL of an original mamecab design.
Regardless the voting is over and 1up won with his legitimate entry... I would also say that the judges agreed with me as his other isn't even listed.
Congrats 1up and everyone!

Well, I didn't really expect to win with the Mame conversion, and quite honestly I would have felt guilty if I did, as it was most of the way done when the contest was announced. All I did afterward was to add artwork and clean up some of the construction.
I'm glad that the Space Invaders was able to impress Apollo enough to earn me a new spinner! (I'm going to need a second one when I move my main machine to work this month...) I was kind of worried there, because the Pac-Man and Computer Space were very well done!
