Making your own games for your cabinet?
« on: September 08, 2011, 03:21:20 am »
After having seen one of the "Winnitron" machines (http://winnitron.ca/) in my local area recently, I have been contemplating about designing some games specifically for an arcade cabinet. That put me on thinking whether anyone else had already done such a thing, and since I already know this as a place about arcade building, answer me:

Have you made your own games for your arcade cabinet?

I've gotten as far as putting on paper some ideas for electromechanical-style games, rifle galleries and such.  Need to learn more about costs and stuff for a thing like that, as the best case for me would be to bank roll the operation by selling a few.  Ahh, pipe dreams.
