Is the #nobartops2015 all in good fun? Or is it counterproductive? If so, what is the #newhotness #newhotmess? Discuss.

Thus spread forth the revelation of the apocalypse...

Eh...bartops have a place. I think the issue is that most people thought they needed a weecade, and that they were going to save space without losing product. Not much space is saved, and the product does decrease. The real benefit is they are cheap and easy to move. I think they are good beginner projects, make good gifts and a good way to make that project that you don't want to invest an entire machine worth of time/money into.

I agree. I find it funny how they're starting to evolve into two player, widescreen projects that get away from the whole "weecade" concept, and now more are kind of a "squatcade".

New hotness for 2015 has yet to be determined
Just about run their course: pedestals, scratch built single game cabinets
Old and busted: bartops, virtual pinball, Fix it Felix
:cheers:

I'm building a Fix it Felix BUT I started the project back when it was still "cool". I request to be grandfathered in.

Damn, I had something witty and sarcastic to say... but this wins.

Nintendo shaped bartops are the best looking ones anyway. But, I'd like to see more theme varieties than just DK/Popeye/Fixit Felix bartops. I still think SodaPopinksi's old Metroid bartop (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=72801.0) (love that Mother Brain!) is one of the best ones to have been posted here at BYOAC, along with leapinlew's Galaga mini-bartop (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,68683.0.html).

Well, seems a mod had a little fun with my signature. I now propose %bartop. Let's get it trending!

I tried posting %bartop and a mod had a little fun with it.
I love bartops!
I feel like Daffy Duck did when Bugs Bunny got a hold of the paintbrush. ;D

Both of those are from 2007. Thank you for backing up my point about 2015.

I thought it was a "call to arms" for me to finish my CNC. ;-)

I hate clicking on a project thread that doesn't have the word "bartop" in the title, but it ends up being a bartop.
good day.

Well, that's certainly going to be counterproductive to my business.

If only someone had suggested a thorough way of identifing a project at the outset... If only...

I don't understand the hate for bartops. Not everyone has got the room for a ridiculously 70 inches wide upright with an even wider frankenpanel!
