Has anyone thought of this?

Yeah, there is a driving game, not sure if in mame though. One person drives and has a gun, other person just has a gun.

Oh well, yes, there was a long hot thread some time ago, remember this. CDbrown, maybe do a search for LED or something like that, you should be able to find it!

I still plan to have LEDs in the start buttons though. (Sure wish I could find some Atari start buttons to hack!)

Same to me, but not on all controlpanels - I just got a hour ago a Xevious controlpanel with -you guess what- two black Atari-startbuttons! ;D Pretty expensive on Ebay, but I somehow get used to pay double the price that you in the US have to pay. :( Especially shipping-costs eat me up!

Thats what I did - thats where the fascination began. Thats also where I got confused somewhat with the ideas being batted around. But now thanks to Carsten I think I'm on the right track and thinking of crazy ideas such as this thread.

--- Quote ---Carsten: Saw your site, pretty excellent. Is that rotating monitor mount a manufactured one from somewhere, a kit, from plans, etc? You say you got in on Ebay and I'm intrigued by the picture. Just wondering if it's available somewhere else. Thanks

Yep, its manufactured from or for Quadro-Games -no idea if this company still exists, should be a germany company as far as I know. I fear it's very hard to get this until you get a Quadro-cabinet and rip it apart. Yesterday I set some additional pictures and infos of the mount on my page, you may have a look there!

Keep watching Ebay for Atari start buttons. There was an auction for them that just ended yesterday. I also saw a set about a month ago. They usually end up going for $20-$25 per pair
