Man, I dont know why i cant get into the Titan, seems to be the fave of everyone else... :dunno
TheDude:
Very good idea to make bartops available in different countries. Here in Europe there are also people that begin to offer kits at least in Britain and France !
These machines are more and more in demand and people need to have the option to begin with kits if they don't have all the reauired tools, space, time, etc.
I think there's room for multi-player bartops as well, why not ?
An d for the different options I lke them all except that the Thunder could be less wide at the top.

Thanks! I'm thoroughly enjoying trying to bring the inspiration of classic cabinets into the original designs. I keep looking at the games I remember playing growing up, and try to reimagine them as bartop units. I only wish I had the ability to create art like some of the guys on here. I can see my own 'take' on the Galaxy and even the Thunder side-art - as an homage to the originals - but have no ability to bring that all to fruition.

That being said, I think if you wanted to incorporate 2 player potential I don't think you'd want the side panels going over top of the side of the control panel. This allows you to mount the joysticks and buttons closer to the sides without having your wrist hitting the side.

Good idea. I think that I'm going to try and focus on couple design that's more open, and dedicated to a two-player bartop.

That's definitely a great idea, and one I'm planning on incorporating. Anything that gives the new owner the ability to speed up production on their cabinets is a plus!

I'm with you. It's not my favourite, but it is definitely still going to be an available option.

Thanks. I just noticed that there didn't seem to be anyone producing these (at least, not with the fervor that Haruman is in the U.S.!) in Canada, and I know there must be some need for them!

The Thunder is definitely getting a redesign. Don't you worry. ;)
As for models, I'm presently in-progress on the following designs and re-designs:
- The Galaxy
- The Thunder
- The Titan
- The Dinky King (man, I need a better name for this)
- The Horus (thanks opt2not, for the Gyruss idea)
- The Ominoss (Sinistar/Williams clone, anyone?)
Yeah - I'm reaching on some of the names. But, it's huge fun to do so! LOL.
PTD:
Can this be built ?
Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,128362.40.html
I have not seen a kit for this yet. It looks great.
This would be great for the vertical shooters games.

I do have plans to have some vertical cabinets, and was hoping (one day) to design a bartop (and full-size) View/Xeno/Ondlix-styled (heh) cabinet. I wasn't considering it this soon, as I'm still in the design phase with the others, but what the hell. Let me see what I can do. I am loving me some SolidWorks right now.
