Mamed Computer Space
« on: June 27, 2012, 11:43:01 pm »
Well I know Computer Space was not a huge commercial success, but I believe this is the first one I've seen Mamed.

It may have been posted around here before, I'm not sure but this is the first I've seen it

I must say, very tastefully done! My only gripe would be that he used an LCD monitor. He went to a lot of trouble to make the conversion look period, and then that!

I skimmed through the build, but hopefully he has all the original parts in a box (and from the sounds of it, I'm sure he has).

edit: Oh, it's right at the top!

This was a perfect game for conversion. The game I received had been stripped. It was only a cabinet and a control panel plate. There was no way I could ever restore it to original because the parts simply do not exist for this extra rare version

Tastefully done, yes.  But I am not a fan of the control panel, particularly those square poker machine buttons (and he "mirrored" them). Granted, it does look very well done but I'm sure a good chunk of those "22,000 games" he brags about are completely unplayable on it.

And who puts Action Max on his cab?   :laugh2:

I didnt post then, but I dont see how 22,000 games are playable on that thing, I bet turbo dunking in NBA Jam sucks.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Yeah, I would imagine that there are many of the 22,00 games that are not playable with that cp.
On my cab, there are a good number of later games such as fighters that I can't play so I didn't install them.

His cp is a little weird but you gotta give him credit considering what he had to work with.

It's aesthetically pleasing, but those buttons suck.  Not only are they clunky rectangles, but they're stacked vertically?  That would be horrifying to use for multi-button games.

I didn't concern myself with the 22,000 games thing. That's just software. If for instance I bought it off him. It would be down to maybe one hundred 70's and 80's arcade classics...
