That’s really cool. I hope someday you’ll invite me over and I can pick up some of that stuff you have just laying aroung. It’s better than the stuff I buy. lol

Cool, that would look great in a home bar.

Too cool. With my electronics capability the darn thing would catch on fire after a few hours.

Well, the original idea for this came from me wanting to convert my dining room table into an arcade machine since I don’t have room for the previous machine. Usually my wife doesn’t mind me and my quirky projects, but I did get a definite “NO” on that one. I have to agree that her argument was completely valid. Me and the kids would never finish supper….. Ha, I can hear it now. “Kids quit playing the table and eat your supper. Honey, back me up on this.” and my response would be… “Hang on a second, I’m almost finished with this level.”

Long story short, I decided to make a “tabletop” version that you see here. There are tons of of ideas and projects over at the BYOAC forums, I just don’t like the people over there for the most part. They’re too obsessed with MDF and T-moulding. Personally, I like to see the natural and man-made combined like this. I mean really, who would laminate a solid maple countertop?

The only sad thing in all that is—-
Yes—I do remember those tables
and all the quarters I pumped into them and their vertical brothers and sisters back in the day.

Very cool work.

-- Those who insist it can't be done - should politely refrain from interrupting those who are doing it.

does the first and 4th players have to play on the verticle surface. seems uncomfortable. Sweet project.

No, the screen lays down and all of the controls / buttons are completely independent.

-- My hear doesn't beat, it wobbles.......

oh you should have added that pic,to make it clear.

-- My philosophy: Somewhere between Norm and Roy

Wow…now that is cool.

-- Jeff , Illinois Please...can I stay in the basement a little longer, please!

Now this is cool…........I’m am also an IT guy and woodworking is a great change of pace from the day to day keystrokes of the network world. I work with a couple of youger guys (30’s) that love this gaming world thing. About as close as I ever got to gaming was a pac man coffee table console. Pac man rulles…...

Great job,

-- In the end it is more about the memories we make than the pieces we build.
