Such as? Maybe that'll be my next design.

Thanks! BTW, I linked to this thread from my thread over in KLOV, and lo and behold... ...the consensus seems to be that they dislike your work over there. (I would take it as a compliment - I posted my idea at 6 a.m. and at 3:40 p.m., I have no responses. Yet, your thread seems to have two pages on it. I say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.)
;D

Do you have links to these? I'll be honest - I haven't heard of any of these, but they sound awesome!

Holy $h!+. Ouch, yeah, I'd say they don't like it much ;D
I knew there was a reason I didn't end up hanging out over there. That's a lot of vitriol for a project that isn't even remotely complete.
But, I suppose the theme and approach is definitely not for everyone. Just jump on about any "steampunk" oriented posting anywhere and you'll find +lots+ of people that, doesn't matter the creativity or skill involved in whatever the project is, if it hints of "steampunk", they hate it.
And, yeah, I'm guilty of a frankenpanel, but, well, I knew that going in. I'm certainly no game purist, and for me, the fun has been in the build process itself. The games are just a happy side effect. Besides, I went looking around and I really didn't see much over there in the way of custom builds, mostly restorations. Oh well, doesn't surprise me and doesn't bother me.
I think someone here made a comment about two trackballs being overkill, which it is of course. But I've had a blast playing simultaneous 2 man Marble Madness with my 6yo, so, it was worth it.
In the end, Haters gonna hate ;)
I'm looking forward to your progress on the Turkey Punchout BTW!
I'd never heard of those references. I googled them and I STILL don't know where the came from. cotmm68030 wins the obscure aware!

I frequent both sites.
Dont take it too hard. Your project was posted on a site that deals with classic games and restoring them, no MAME. You have skill, it just doesn't apply to KLOV.
