| So ... How do you explain your cabinet when guests arrive? |

Well I built my first one for my fraternity. It went into the frat house. I actually built the thing at the frat house, though, so they just saw me building it. I didn't get too many questions. Mostly just questions for help switching games. |

Meaning of course , the innerds. I try explaining my cabinet the best I can, and he still looks puzzled. So I figured alright, he's pretty clever, perhaps I should just drop some logic on him and tell him what it really is. WRONG! He was lost even more. --- End quote --- |

I had a couple friends I had not seen in a while drop by on two separate occasions last week...both asked "hey where'd you get the old Defender game? Does it work? Can I play?" I asked them what they wanted to play and they were confused, until I showed them the guts. One was vaguely familiar with Mame and thought it was cool, the other was completely amazed and was asking all sorts of tech questions...I tried to explain everything but he just didn't get it, but really enjoyed playing all the games. When I tell people that I am making 6 more cabinets for my basement, each one themed after a classic arcade game they either 1) think it's cool, 2) roll their eyes and shake their head, or 3) do not believe me until I take them out to my workshop and show them all the stuff in progress. |
