Finished arcade + 80s Partay!

[shateredsoul]

My friend and I just finished the space invaders themed arcade.  This is the best I can do for pics right now, I have too much work to do today to take any more pics.  I had it working with only the mame wheel (I decided that would be the best for the party) but it failed the kid test.  They smashed all the buttons while it started up, and it got stuck on the button preview screen (cpwizard).. so I had to think quick and switched it over to the Nintendo games. Can't get any more 80s than Nintendo!

Awesome dude! 

Nintendo came out in 1985. I hate that 1985 is retro!

Awesome!  Looks like you had fun.  What a perfect use of a BYOAC cab.

do you have details of that marquee?

looks awesome.

i bought it from emdkay, I really loved the quality and the design. It was designed by deslusional (one of our own members).

I just wish we could have lit the marquee better, but we were stuck having to put the lights close to the marquee at an angle with the bottom closer to the marquee (we built a box for the subwoofer and it HAD to be a specific size).  So far we just tell people we did that on purpose as a dedication to pacman .

Can you point me to the emdkay marquee page?
I never can find anything there. They might have a good product, but their website is crappy.

Looks great!  Glad to see you went with the less busy marquee like I did.  :-)

Here's a link to the order page for emdkay:

I created 7 different colors.

Enjoy!

Yeah! I was outnumbered.. both the wifey and Luigi agreed with you.  I'm glad we went with that, it looks great! now to configure all the emulators to work =/

Is it just me or does it really look like Mario and Luigi are wearing rather large adult diapers?  
Considering it has been 25+ years since they appeared on the scene, I guess they need the diapers and the "Just For Men" mustache dye too!

Awesome looking cab! And I have a feeling all the people LOVED the cab and wished they had one at home.

ha ha.. rather full diapers at that.

 No one else pointed that out, but I swear I heard the "when are you due?" joke at  least 7 or 8 times that night.

I bet bedtime! (That's when you give birth to a pillow, right?)
