Micro Cab competition (Prizes). DEADLINE EXTENDED

<< < (39/45) > >>

Apollo:
I had the feeling that 1Up was kidding around with the Pacman and I knew that his real entry was on the way ( he hinted as much ) so I didn't really count it. As Howard pointed out it wasn't really a valid entry. Maybe this could be an annual event, I'm sure that the interest is there now thanks to the entries this time around? Any thoughts on that anyone?

OH yea! Count me in! With a year to plan and build there should be more entries. I can see it now I'll have a arcade full of 12" cabs in a few years.

RetroJames:
Hmm...again, sorry to split hairs but I am afraid I have to disagree again.  No where in the first post by Apollo that outlines the rules, is the word "model" used.  The MAME category was NOT for the best MODEL of an original mamecab  design, it was...

"Categories will be:
Best reproduction of a dedicated cab
Best cocktail
Best MAME cab"

Look, I am not going to belabor the facts anymore, and I am sure most everyone here knew what was expected etc.  All I am saying is that the way the rules were presented, if someone wanted to press the point, 1UP's conversion does meet all of the requirements unless there is an addendum to the rules somewhere else in this thread.  You might want to qualify what must be fabricated and what does not have to be.  In the micro PAC, he used an lcd and joysticks.  Those were not fabricated.  If 1UP cut the plastic up on that pac game and used it to form a new cab would that count?  If I made a cab out of a soup can, is that acceptable.

Anyway, again I love the entries, heck yea I am interested in another round (although a year might be too long, how about 3 mo?) and no, I would not be such a stickler in the next round regardless of who won.

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.

Man I gotta say that all the entries were AWESOME.

1UP's tabletop-conversion is one of the best MAME cabs I've ever seen...large, small, or otherwise.  Quite amazing. There's the MAME can award right there.

Team OBryan, that reproduction is SWEET.  Since it's so spot on and working, I gotta hand it to ya.

and I say the Computer Space cabinet gets the cocktail award...cause back then they didn't even have definitions for cabs.  Plus it's cool, you know you want one.  ;)

to think I was going to enter the cocktail category with a pacman juice glass filled with a pina colada...I think by default I might have won.

congrats to everyone!

ps I know the judging is independent third party and I know my vote doesn't count.  Just giving props to the hard work.

Isn't there actually a cocktail called a Pac-Man?
