Well done gentlemen!

I voted for Vidiot's The Dream Machine Upright.  That thing just screams "The 80's".  Love the TV aspect ratio and the colorful theme.

Yep, same here.  Artwork pushed that one over the edge for me.

For me it's the Neon Flynn's marquee and elegant aesthetics that put it over the top.

The photobucket image-hosting of The Dream Machine might impact the vote.

Let that be a lesson to all then!

Surprised there isn't more competition in this category.

Giving it to Flynn's.  Digging the little nuances.

I went with the "feels" on this one and voted for the Dream Machine as I spent many hours as a youth at the local Dream Machine near me. All quality builds, but Dream Machine took it for me.

I agree with you 100% on that one.

danny_galaga's Meet George Jetson! Upright

The only one done properly with a CRT and without putting the buttons into an arch.
