Yeah, I know, probably sounds like a complete waste for only 2 games. But the thing of it is, Hogan's Alley/Duck Hunt are the only games I like. Truth be told, I'm not a gamer. I have a complete MAME 0.226 rom set in my collection, but the actual games I have installed and play on my cabinets is probably only around 150 or so. I also have tons of roms for other systems on my backup drive, but play very few of them... maybe Zelda and Sonic?? Oh I might occasionally try a new game here or there, but I tend to stick to the ones I grew up playing at the arcades back in the day. My huge rom collection usually only gets utilized if I'm building a cab for someone else, or installing games on a PC for someone else. |

Another thing to consider, is these arcade cabinets I build are for my son who has Autism (I DEVOTE MOST EVERYTHING I DO AROUND MY SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS). Therefore when I build them, I try to simplify the interface on them so that they are easy for him to understand, and the game selections are more at a graphics level that appeal to him. Highly doubtful he would play something like Terminator 2 or big buck hunter. He's more into the "kiddie sprite" type stuff if you get what I'm saying. As an example, the control panel on his recent A1U pacman cab looks like this.. super easy to figure out: |

Picture of the happiest person in the world. ME!! Can't tell you how much I love Hogan's Alley. My boy and I are gonna have a blast. Since it's been years and I'm out of practice, should be interesting to see if he can be as good as dad once was. I have an old school skillz advantage on this game, he has youth reflexes. He loves competing with me and can best me on the "pac" games, ain't no way Imma let him steal my Hogan's Alley thunder. ;D Now to install it on his cabinet,,, after a few more rounds on my PC. >:D |

Its awesome you are sharing this with your kids, Plus great job on the bezel. I have been meaning to make a pack just not had time to get around to it with all the other stuff I have been doing lately! Anyways if you have any tech support Q's in the future or would like to get some ideas of games to play with your kids check out the Sinden Wiki. Its still a WIP but growing daily almost :) https://sindenlightgun.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page |

Thank you for that. Very helpful. I watched the YouTube vid with the British dude trying to explain, he was hard to hear and I really had a hard time with that thick accent, but then, I have a hard time with Jersey/New York accents and Southern accents as well. I might have to do my own video on setup for reference and for others trying to set it up as well. It can be a tad daunting. |
