Yes, but galaga and pacman type cabs are actualy very light. They use plywood.
Mdf is 10 times as heavy... It also is not as strong to resist extreme abuses.. as it will chip and crack. Not sure if the person is using mdf or not.
Ohh, actaully you can sometimes crack MDF when screwing it, unless you drill pilot holes first.
Mark70:
Glueing and Screwing goes together like concrete and rebar.
You can build a crappy little 3" thick slab for your lawn building with just concrete, but if you're putting a foundation under your house you'll be using rebar. If you want to build a parking garage you'll be using a lot of rebar.
I actually look at the glue as a supplement to the screws. The screws address any shear forces across the joint and the glue will assist the screw threads in resisting pullout force.
