Title: Paper Arcade
Post by: bent98 on February 03, 2008, 09:07:33 am
I am sure some members on this forum already heard about this back in 2004, but I was one who was not aware of this cool little project. There was a guy by the name of atomicthumbs that made a bunch more of these but hasnt been around. If anyone else has any additional links or needs files hosted please pm me or respond to the thread. I know some that are outthere are q-bert, tron, star wars, coctail versions and more...

Made them all -- and let me tell you they're all lot easier than the real thing to build!

Oh, and one tip - after printing, turn the paper over and print a black sheet on the back. Otherwise you'll have white insides, or have to resort to colouring-in the white bits, which is a real pain.

TBH guys, when I first saw this I thought it was a bit lame.... until I noticed Ron Jeremy in the change booth. Now I think this is the best thing I have ever seen...

Those are pretty cool.. would be cool to give something like that as a gift with a gift certificate or something inside. I guess you'd have might have them bigger, but still that would be pretty memorable.

I want the pinball ones.  This might be a nice addition to a small corner of the room once I decide to do a full size one.

Those would be pretty cool to have on shelves and whatnot in a gaming room of sorts.
