Yes, but where's the spinner and trackball?  ;)

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

Neat! You should make these and sell them! (Without any software of course, for legal reasons).

Neat!!!

             Would have been even better if you could have scaled down the controls as well..... I think somebody on here did a couple of years back I forget who it was.

I was thinking about making small controls but i did not think it would be fun to play the cabinet is only 9" tall.

at 1st i was not even going to make it play games i just was testing out a new band saw. but when i made the cabinet i started too look around on ebay for a 2.5in screen.

i already have 2 full size mame cabinets and and one 4 foot one.

Yeah, someone made a hand-size Galaga (I think) but for the life of me I can't find it.

They weren't hand sized, but at the Midwest Gaming Classic in Oconomowoc WI back in March, someone had 2 mini sized games, a Ms Pac-Man and a Dig Dug. They looked pretty much like their full size versions, except they were only about 3' tall. Saw a few young kids playing them while I was there.

Lol, yeah PocketGalaga is mine. It does work with the tiny controls, but the joystick I made is a 2-way so it only plays Galaga and similar games.
