Arcade Classics Mini Cocktail project

[zallax]

This project was inspired by a Sam Seide's  mini cocktail project.  I always wanted to build one of these but thought you'd be limited to vertical cocktail games.  When I found out, through Sam's video, that MAME can do Cocktail mode for horizontals I was ready to start work.

This project took me 4 weeks to complete.  The majority of that time was spent on the artwork and configuring the software.
