Plans for a cabinet ID website
Kremmit:
Left to right:
Pac Man, Defender, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Tempest, Stargate, Taito, Stern, Dynamo, Nintendo.
(I had to go look in the garage to verify two.)

There's no need for a site like this; we all know Centipede has the best design. ;D
Seriously, though, this can help in both identifying a cabinet and deciding on a shape for a build.

Hadn't thought of that aspect of it. That's not a bad idea.
Centipede was such a great design that Dynamo copied it and sold it for many years (although they did add front access which is very nice). I've got together about 20 silhouettes so far. I figure I'll get up to about 50 and then start working on getting the site laid out. Here's one of the pics I took at the auction. Can you guess what it was? :)

Oh come on. You already posted the answer to that one.

I'm curious...
So, if I have an unknown arcade cabinet that I want to identify. I have no idea what it is, what year it's from, who made it, etc. So, the solution is to click through 100+ cabinets pictures, until I see one similar? How is this easier than just asking (since it seems most people get a response fairly quickly)? :)
I just don't see how this database can be efficiently searched since the whole point is that the user doesn't have any information?
Not trying to be negative, just trying to understand how this will work...
