Title: Anyone seen this bartop on the Internet?
Post by: BobA on September 05, 2011, 01:37:43 pm

I have a pic of a bartop running an icade board but I cannot remember where I found it.   It looks like a MsPacman LCD bartop made in black.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: added Pacman MsPacman Galaga Aniv pic

There you go, it's made by a company called Bestlong I think

Don't build one Bob. Those are ugly. If you want to build something, go for a Tempest inspired bartop. Really good lines, and translates to a bartop design very well.

Thanks Cougar888 that must be it.  It would have been alot easier if the watermark was on the pic.  It seems to be on everything now  :D

Just looking around for different designs right now.  I remembered that the company had a lot of different bartops and they do.   Looking for a design with less of a side to hem the user in.  Tempest while very classic has the same problem as the Galaga shape that I have been building.  The sides are like blinders.

Right now I am going to build a few weecade type cabs just for a change of pace. I have been working on the design to get a larger screen size in but 17 inches seems to be the max without totally changing the cab.

Thanks for your input. :D
