UPDATED: Donkey Kong cabinet Lamp?
Masterful Gaze:
Sweet! Got me too thinking, if you go a little bigger it would make an awesome nightstand to have by the bed.
Yeah, the wife would let me do that... :D
rohan:
You might get her to OK a cocktail game as a nightstand...I've got a SixPac and Tank! cocktails serving that exact purpose.

Making this lamp has actually got me thinking about making a little bit bigger model, and sticking one of those 5" playstation screens in it and using one of those mini joysticks I saw in another thread somewhere (http://www.p3america.com/pp/851.htm). You could put a Jakks game in there (too bad they don't have one with Donkey Kong), or something like that.
I might do that once I'm done with the larger arcade since I already have the arcade parts programmed in and scaling them up or down is now very easy.
And I am itching to build a cocktail table ever since I saw that "Crazy Canadian" cocktail (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,27612.0.html), and I think the only way I could do it is if it were the end table for our living room (but maybe a night stand is the way to go :) ).
MYX:
That is great. I would love to build one of those. After I finish my cab, I may try one of these. Great idea. My wife may throw up a little when she hears about it.
melarky:
I finally got around to finishing the 2/3 scale one and posted about it in the Project Announcements thread:

These were really fun to make.
