Title: Looking For Project Ideas...
Post by: jbuschman on October 07, 2013, 04:14:22 pm
So I'm (hopefully) going to be buying this thing this weekend.

(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=297908;image)

I'm thinking about turning it into a VS. system of some sorts.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Well, if you want to go for something dramatically different... it kind of looks like a face, complete with eyes (monitors), nose (keyboard), mouth (panel), and neck (base). You could have some fun with artwork and background images on your frontend to play that up.

should make it a dedicated super strike bowling or some retro bowling game.  Would be cool.

That's definitely a 'scoring screen' from a bowling alley!   :laugh2:  It would unique to see you create a vs bowling game.

i think it looks pretty cool actually.  you could make a regular joystick/button panel on the flat part and use the current buttons (keyboard looking panel) as like a quiz game type control panel.  i hope youre getting it for a good price  :cheers:
