The ultimate DIY car cab...
IronBuddha:
Cool idea but not all that great.
You have to wait 5 minutes just to get into it, your head has to be in a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- position the whole time, if you're going to spend that kind of money why not some decent chairs? Lawn Furniture and a old moldy car seat.
To me it would have been cooler if he just had 2 nice recliners and a cockpit built right between them, but hey to each their own.
And yes the music sucked

The music sucks until you get to 5:37... When Fleetwood Mac "The Chain" fades in.... The reason he used that was because Formula 1 Racing in the UK, when it was on BBC 1 always had that as the title music.
Personally I'd have made the video a bit shorter and stuck to classic stuff like that for the music.

Especially since most people consider it a good use of money to collect 300 pound boxes of wood, containing 25-year-old technology just to play some crappy 8-bit games ...
:dunno

yeah but I dont have to wait 5 minutes to play my 25 year old Mortal Kombat 2 that came out 13 years ago thats not 8bit ;)
by waste of money I meant... he could have had a car's seat on a piece of wood that rolled out in front of the screen woulda taken less time effort, and looked better
Demon-Seed:
Well there is a few pros and cons to this set up....which we will not all agree on. However we can all agree on one thing. That video is too long to show this thing....its like prom night build up and then total disappointment.. eheh...
more importantly that music is terrible, I would have rather listened to prince,rick astley,kriss kross, or michael jackson than that.... L:)
maybe someone could post other types of car arcades...
later

Maybe he is related to Turnarcades? We all know Turnarcades is an American living in the UK (he was also borne there, but he is still an American {with UK citizenship}). Atleast Turnarcades uses basic and straightforward design principals when building stuff tho... (I mean REALLY, do you need a neck brace to play that damn thing??? I half expected that the thing would rise up out of the floor so it would look confortable to play...)
Other than that: still a cool idea. This guy should add ergonomics to his list of skills tho, he would go far.
