Got it yesterday and already into chapter 8.  My 10 year old son & I are looking forward to the spring when we can clean out some space in the garage and get to work building the project!

Sure that it's all been said before, but what a well written, well edited, well presented introduction to this hobby!  I had looked into building a MAME Arcade box about a year & 1/2 ago and was somewhat overwhelemed.  The Project Arcade takes you through it at just the right pace.

Great work!  Thank you.

I love the book - I loosely followed it so far. Using it more as a guide until now.

Have a look at my progress -

I was vacationing this past weekend and stopped by a Barnes and Noble for a coffee and picked up the Project Arcade book too.
Really nice I must say!
Most of the info is available online but it's so convenient to have it all organized and easily referenced in this book.

I also picked up these too books as well:



FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!!
