Title: The Bartop with No Name
Post by: Monkeyvoodoo on June 07, 2013, 12:16:24 am

Two thing everyone should know about me:

• I usually have more than one project on the go at once
• Sometimes I have too much freetime
• I can't count

Today I had an idea while at work. So I started to sketch it out. Ended up with these:

I really enjoy vertical games and since I have a spare 19" monitor floating around I thought I'd come up with a plan for it. This will be something for the moments I need a break from Take No Quarter. Maybe I can get the big (heh, not much big work for a bartop) work out of the way before winter sets so I can do the rest indoors.

First step is to pick a scheme...

Really nice

If you taper the top and put an angle on the edge of the control panel, it would look like a candy cab bartop. A Sega Aero City in particular.
