Mame stand-up arcade game??
« on: June 13, 2007, 03:28:58 pm »
Q. Is the Mame arcade game with the control panel just as good as the coin operated games of the 80's?

yes, because if the game restarts because of power failure, it won't cost you another quarter!

That all depends, how good are you at building?

 :laugh2:  so true   :laugh2: 



Now, being serious ...... I made my cabinet to have an internal skeleton of 2x4 beams.  The thing is rock solid so having friends over beating up on the controls and shaking the machine around a bit does not cause me to worry at all.   If I made it with a thin outer shell of wood and decided to staple the joints together then I would be much more concerned.

Of course if you spill a drink all over it then I would be highly annoyed ... however, in the true arcades I would simply keep playing.   >:D
