Anyone Younger Than 14

[sasuke_kun12]

Is there anyone younger than 14 thats makin an arcade cabinat?

[yobo]

I'm nearly 14 and my Dad's helping me...just about to start making one 

[SNAAKE]

I build one when I was 15

[Bones]

I feel old.

When I was 14 I was playing the newly released 1942 and the concept of making an arcade machine would have just been stupid talk.

If you're under 14 this is exactly the type of internet discussion your teachers and parents are telling you to avoid.

If this guy already sent you a picture of is 'cabinet' do not under any circumstance look at it.  The image will scare you for life.

1942! You're young!

At 14, I was playing the newly released Space Invaders!

[GGKoul]

I was 14 in 1987.  What a time... the Golden age of the Arcades and the birth of home consoles.

I'm still trying to figure out which came first...... me or Pong 

[ErikRuud]

As far as I know, PONG was officially released in November 1972, which means you came first.

Dang, I'm older than Pong too. That's almost as bad as "older than dirt".

[Sephroth57]

i thought pong came out of primordial ooze along with the first humans... you mean they had people already back then? =P

heh, they're just kidding Seph... of course Pong came before everything else.  These guys are just pulling your leg about being older than Pong.  There were no people before Pong, they'd have to be like..... a gajillion years old

.....so your hanging out with grandpa one day at the mall. After reading this thread it'd be a hoot to see a guy my age(32) and alot of us here im sure in that range, with his dad or grandpa wearing tshirts. Dad or grandpa's reads "older than dirt" and ours of course is "older than pong"

Now where did i leave my iron on transfers at?.........hmmm

 

[DrewKaree]

That'd be SWEET! 

One improvement I can see - for the "P" in pong, make the line separate, and have the "ball" complete the shape to create the "P".  Kinda like so:

Older than |^oong

[Tailgunner]

That'd be SWEET!

[Stingray]

So where do I buy my "Older than Pong" t-shirt?

[Tritoch84]

Jeez, I feel YOUNG. When I was 14 I was tripping out over Street Fighter 2!

[Sephroth57]

i think when i was 14 i was playing starcraft and diablo 1 =)

Allright, I'll start printing them, but in order to make it worth my time to get off my Phat, lazy, greedy American --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--, I'll be selling them for $25 plus shipping, and I don't know how much for "handling", and they'll come in whatever color you want, as long as it's white.

 

Stingray, in your case, I'll accept trades - TWO shirts for your Mini, the title, and the keys.....ah, crap, it's Christmas, I'm feeling nice, I'll give you THREE shirts

WTF @ cockles   

lol

[Jabba]

I was 14 in 1980. That was around the time when classics like Centipede, Defender, Tempest, Berzerk and all the *BEST* arcade games were released. I remember many a late night missing the last bus home due to my arcade *addiction*.

lol stingray, dipping in the eggnog early eh??  I was gonna do a quick logo for my idea of the older than pong. Drew i like that idea u stated above. I stink in photoshop but ill give it a go. And seeing as I was born in January, I was also thinking of putting a "Est. in 1971" or something on the front or on the sleeve, and putting the "Older than Pong" on the back.

THAT would be sweet!  That's how you'd personalize the shirts, with the year you were born in!  I think on the front should be the "Older than Pong", and on the sleeve or across the back should be the "Est. in 19xx".

Crap, I may end up doing this anyway.....I'll have to raise prices to stave off actual work!

I'll whip up a quick pic

i didnt quite get the | o  you referred to earlier Drew, but here is my doings. I cant seem to enlarge it, even set antialias at 4x. Perhaps someone can enlarge it without quality loss. I was looking at something like 8" width x 3" Height for going across the back.
