Title: Defender Desktop CP
Post by: jerryjanis on June 28, 2003, 12:40:32 am

I finished this today for as a suprise for a friend.  Actually, he was sort of the boss at my job during my most intense BYOAC days.  He'd happily tell me tales of the good ol' Defender/Discs of Tron days (before my time) when I was too sleepy to do any actual work 'cause I was up too late working on some arcade related nonsense.  I was a lot more careful in making this pretty then I have been on any of my own projects.

Features:
------------
Happs buttons
Ebay'd 2way Microswitch joystick (from Joust, I think)
T-Molding
Lexan
CP overlay, printed on paper
USB Keyboard interface from Hot Wheels USB keyboard ($1.99)

You can get the keyboard matrix & my CP overlay on the web page.

This is the coolest standalone control panel I have seen! Love Defender/Stargate too, so it's just perfect. Really nice work.
