Hello from Maine :)
Well this is a neat bartop I just stumbled upon :

Do we have the plans for that ? I like the shape :)
Thanks,

This has been talked about before. While I like the idea of capturing the profile of the full sized machine, and they actually used a vertical monitor, I hate the way nothing lines up on it.
It would have been way cooler (to me) if they had done an actual marquee and moved the control panel to the correct spot relative to the sides. It would have been bigger, but looked way better. The other alternative would have been to just model the top part of the actual cab, ending at the CP bend with the panel in the correct spot.

You should build your vision :)
Show 'em how it's done :)

I think this shape is more of TOK's vision. Correct me if I am wrong but CP moved up and marquee added. The only problem with this construct is that it is made of LEGO. There is another pic of one that someone has built already but no marque.

I don't really like Pac Man. I did try what I was saying with Stargate. I just took all the upper dimensions and shrunk them down. Used a repro control panel overlay cut down by 2 inches.

BobA is correct, I think that the style of the Lego one is a lot better.

Now have pRok cut you a set of scaled down Stargate stencils and you will be set.

Wow, that is amazing. :applaud: If ever an emulated game deserved a dedicated machine, that's it!

Looks simple to copy the actual aniv bartop. Just copy the side and fit your screen between to determine depth. It sort of reminds me of the icade that was an April 1 joke but seems to have caught on. The design is similar but does not have the cab side like the 25th aniv.

Thanks guys. This is another project that got to the playable state and work stopped. I couldn't commit to painting it Stargate red. I hate that dull red color even though I knew that was the right thing to do, which is also why I never did any art on it.
Its getting moved out to the gameroom after I make a stand for it, I'll do something with the sides then.

It would be easy to replicate the design using cardboard and some imagination! 8)
