--- Quote from: Zakk on June 04, 2024, 11:51:46 am ---Oddly enough, 20 years ago, I enjoyed building the machines more than playing them. Now I'm enjoying playing them more than building them. In 20 years I'll be back to building them I suppose. There will be a generation of kids that want a machine built by someone who actually was in video arcades.

God I feel this in my soul. I built probably 5-6 machines with nothing but a jigsaw, some workhorses, and an orbital sander. (and a borrowed router for the t-molding slot).

I really wish I had kept one of them -- I am back to wanting one but the thought of building one from scratch now gives me anxiety. With my main job, side job, and other hobbies filling my non-existent free time (pilots license, 3d printing, etc) i can't imagine finding the time to make it happen.

Seems like this whole community was buried in crap for all of 2024.
I know I was and with how quiet is has been around here I suspect it wasn't just me.

I count myself lucky as the worst of it was being buried with work and homefront tasks but I'm committed to having more fun this year because the last one was a slog.

And yet always grateful that the family is healthy and the house is still standing though.

And seeing this reminds me I need to work on the horizontal cocktail conversion to be able to play this one since I need to do something with MY Bank Panic pcb.

Happy New Year Mike!

I have a PCB.

I throw it in my JAMMA cab.

Some day I would like to have a dedicated Bank Panic cab.

Lol, Bank Panic is my sobriety tester. Play it on a cocktail while drinking beer (ignore the glaring oxymoron) and watch your performance magically deteriorate as the glasses increase.

After three large ones it is time to move onto shmups, pins or pool.

I have actually done this. I didn't do anywhere near as well as I thought I would. Whodathought? :)

SEGA made two really good ports of it to their consoles. As I recall, the master system version hangs at the title screen but the SG-1000 version does… something when idle. I like the master system version so much I’ve considered modifying a Genesis controller so that ABC is LMR.

I’ve probably posted this before. Oh well.
