| What console games do you think are worthy of building a cabinet for? |

I think when you see cabinets themed after college or pro teams, favorite beverages, or TV shows, it's a "mancave" mentality. |

So there's an actual Diablo Mecanico game? |

You don't base it off a game that isn't on the machine or isn't very fun. Why? Because when people walk over and see your nifty Zelda arcade cabinet only to find that Zelda isn't on it and/or Zelda plays very badly on it, you've lost them... they'll never play again. Custom themes are MUCH more preferable to that because you can continue the theme on your front-end of choice and then the theme is presented as a sum of it's parts, not individual games on the machine. Nobody plays on a Penny Arcade themed machine and expects to find a game called "Penny Arcade"... they understand that it's a multi-game machine. *edit* Just for the record, don't make a "Penny Arcade" machine or a machine with the word "MAME" in it. Every time you do William Sessions pumps a kid full of heroine out of spite. |
