For when the whole thing has gone on way too long and stops being cool.

Note, I did put this one here for a reason though, look how low down those handlebars are.

Was this a real game? I don't see it in my list of games on MAME. What's it called, The Fonz?

danny_galaga:

what about the 'ATM'  ;D

Some good ideas in those old designs, although I think the only one's I would like to build replicas of, are the early Atari and the tiny driver.  Having big removable steering wheel panels I can appreciate having a dedicated driver would be ace...and something that size would fit in most rooms.

RandyT:
The microfilm reader is the style I actually intend to build someday.  It has a kind of "android with a monitor head" kind of look to it, and with a few mods it's very functional.

One of things I see that stands out in the early cabinets is the angled upward screen.  In many, many locations, this is about the worst idea you could use.  Lights reflect off of glass, and where are the lights about 99% of the time?   :P  Probably the reason you didn't see that design perpetuated, as it limited where you could install the machines.

BTW, I realize that some of the Japanese sit-downs use this....but other than size / cost concerns, can't understand why :)

That microfilm reader is pretty cool after looking at it closely...
