Burke's 4 player monster

[Burke LaShell]

It's a little late for an announcement, but I thought I'd post some pictures of my first machine.

I have four kids, and I like double joystick games like Smash TV, so I decided on a four player monster machine.


Here are my boys playing.  They have a lot of fun with the cooperative games where you can keep "pumping in the quarters" to play forever.


Nice tongue... 


Four 8-way joysticks + one 4-way.  The player one 4-way and 8-way are wired together.  In the upper-left, there is a black button to <Escape> and a red button to <Pause>.


I'm pretty proud of my wiring job.  There were more than 100 connections!


The iPac made this easy.  It's a great device.


I'm not crazy about how the speakers turned out, but it's too late to do much to change them.


Still left to do:
-monitor bezel
-3 access panels on the back
-hard wire the button to turn on/off the TV

It's not the greatest, but it's mine (and we're having fun with it)!

very cool, congrats on you first cabinet.

Isn't it cool to see kids enjoying what you built? I love watching people having fun playing mine.

Good job and nice work!

For the bezel - you may want to consider just putting a peice of smoked plexi over the television. I did this with my showcase and it turned out great.

Awesome wiring job Burke!

Wonder if there is enough room to 'hide' your speakers behind the planned bezel? Or maybe inside the control panel...
