Anyone ever build a wall mount arcade game ? / my concept picture
rlemmon:
Hey dude's, Have any of you ever built a wall mount game ? I'm thinking of building a vertical monitor one to play all the early 80's classics on.
I think this design is a really good starting point.
I would tilt the monitor down in and change a few other things, but the side panels look great. I would guess it would be about 40 - 48 " tall.
If anyone has pics of something like this could you please post them ? I'm on the fence about doing this.
Thanks

i'm sure you probably wanna do something new and differnet, but there's probably a good reason you don't see many of these. unless you're planning on bolting this thing to the wall i just don't see it working. i'd go with a bartop.

Ya I do want to bolt it to the wall, It's both a space and try something new thing. I've never been to much of a bartop fan. Those new pacman 25th anniversary ones are one of the uglyist arcade games I've ever seen.
Here's a quick paint file of what I'm thinking about.
I'm also thinking of doing a cabaret unit, but it'll take up more space and theres the whole building outside in the cold is a ---smurfette--- thing :laugh2:

Why does a wall-mount have to look like a normal cab that is shrunk by a NES Zapper? People think out of the BOX :dunno ! Maybe you can make it an in-wall mount with a big golden classic picture frame around it.

Spacies has, with his usual calibre of results:
