The NEW Build Your Own Arcade Controls

I'm back in the U.S.A. for two weeks with my wife and new baby boy. My parents are having a party so every one can meet the first grand baby. I decided to build a simple mini cab for all the kids to play. Been wanting to build a Vigolix clone for a while and when I saw yellow fever I decided they would make for a good mix.
I only had two mornings to do all the work so there is a lot that needs improving. That said I think it came out well. I can fix the little paint and other odds and ends after the party this after noon. I also need to print a marquee and add a L.E.D. light strip as a back light.
I'll add pics of the kids playing after the party.
Thanks to Vigo & ChanceKJ for the inspiration and plans.

Yep, one day cutting/priming, one day painting/assembly.

One kid thought it was broking because the game did not start when she touched the screen. Another little one said "Mom it's Pac man and its free."
Amazing! All that in two days? :notworthy:
Great job!
Vegos plan's and ChanceKJs idea to use a plug and play made it possible. I just hot glued some good ideas together.

Very cool build, great idea
