| For the most part, do people think these are real arcade machines? |

The ups guy saw my cabinet and said "wow, does that thing still work?". I didn't have the heart nor the time to explain to him that since I built it a year ago, it's should be expected to still work. |

When asked what game mine was I would just tell them "take your pick". When I showed them the Windows desktop they started to realize what I had done. Even still, I'm not sure if they realize how much is PC and how much is arcade machine. |

My friends just get a kick out of playing mine as it sits on my dining room table in front of a PC monitor. I don't have a cab yet just a working setup with arcade controls and a trackball. It still flips people out. I can't imagine what people will say when I build the cab and have it in my game room/basement. |

Most people who visit know that mine is a conversion, not because its a crappy job or anything, its just not an arcade machine in the purest sense of the term, meaning to me Pac-man etc. I used a bright blue color and wanted it to look as individual as possible, not just another horrible black box. And when asked what games it will play I reply "What is your favorite?". I set them loose with a few plays on MAME and then it doesn't really matter, because they are AT the arcade! Watching people's eyes light up when they realize that they can play their own personal favorite is what makes this enjoyable for me. And its really cool when we get down to talking about how its done. Many consider this nothing short of computer voodoo when I explain how it was done. Still gotta admit this is the coolest project I've attempted and actually completed yet! Thanks to all here, couldn't have done it without ya!! ARCADIAC! |
