Wow.  Good job, very retro!   

I think it's in interesting take on style... looks like it should be sitting next to a lava lamp and a disco ball    Way to step outside the box and come up with an original idea!

Oh, and I especially love the website.  Great design there as well.

Very nice!! Looks retro but modern at the same time  

Whats the stability like?

I love this! Website is awesome, like the way you move form past to present! Good innovation, eye catching and funky!

Looking good Blanka!!!

I have exactly the same font on my marquee. Good choice

[Blanka]

Thanks for the enthusiasm!

Whats the stability like?

It was more stable than I thought it would be at first. The monitor, the glass and the back panel all are quite heavy and put much weight behind the gravity centre. For really fanatic gamers, you can bolt the back to the wall, but here inside the house it stands on its own.

Very slick!     I'm just curious how you can get a scratch proof semi-gloss finish? I rolled mine with black semi-gloss and have already scratched it once.  Paint job is beautiful by the way!

This is the reason I check the forums every few days.......you have made a truly innovative & clean machine.

I like how the resemblance to computer space is apparent to a hard core gamer & yet to the normal folks it just looks really crisp & cool. So basically you are able to have your cake & eat it too.

Kudos!

This is a commercial product?  Interesting.  I like the clean lines.  Simple and to the point.

She looks hot ! Nice touch with the knickers just showing through, like the real CS flyer !






O , we're talking about the machine here ?

Nice. Looks very slick. I'm not a LCD fan for classic games, but it fits the design. I think you got one or two ideas from Knievl's machine ?

It's also a smart concept without any round angles, which I think will make it a little easier to build in "series".

I only have one thing I really don't like. With a "design" machine like this, you shouldn't have used the multi-colored buttons. I'd say all yellow, or all black or white or maybe a combo of these colors but get rid of the red, blue and green.

Just MHO of course. You should show this of on www.collectorsshow.be (bit late I know)....I'll be there tonight and the whole day tomorrow. Lots of classics to be played there !

Sorry, back on topic now !


Great site design by the way !

[psychotech]

KOOL!

Really love the babe ..eh the design .. 

Jep, That's A Really Good Looking Cab!  .. 

You should show this of on www.collectorsshow.be

Level42: Why are all the (www.collectorsshow.be) Main page links in english when everything thereafter is mainly in Dutch(?) mixed with a bit of english here and there? (Welkom op de website van de Limburghal te Genk ..Yes, understandable enough.  No problem.. But come on, "OPGELET, OP DE COLLECTORSSHOW GELDT EEN VOLLEDIG ROOKVERBOD !"  -> That has to mean: "Smoking in the show-area is severely forbidden - all smokers will be shot on sight!" ..?? Or something almost as politically correct, anyway..

[Gametreks]

A very clean and marketable gaming machine.  I think the colored buttons are complimentary as they draw the eyes away from the yellow.  The metalic look of the control panel was a very good move as well.  I can tell much love went into creating this baby.  Now how about some yellow and silver bar stools to go along with it.  Great job mate!
