Looking forward to the video 25 years from now when the 8-Bit Guy retrobrites this vintage cabinet.

[@Diego-oq3ih]

A 75 years old David retrobrighting his own cabinet

[@bhirawamaylana466]

I think that should be his brother GeekPub to do the jobs, after all he the one who built it.

[@gmcnewlook]

Nothing to probably retrobrite? (Not sure about the longevity of the vinyl)

[@cendrizzi]

@@gmcnewlook I think it was a joke :). (but maybe the buttons?)

[@AristarcoPalacios]

And fellow YTer Adrian Black trying to figure out why the Amiga board is behaving. XD

[@TheGeekPub]

UPDATE: The monitor has been repaired and the game is back in service. We decided the world needed a PETSCII Robots arcade cabinet. After it all the other releases it just seemed fitting!

[@Tech_481]

@@bellshooter I think Michael and I are currently looking for the first video that he mentioned also incorrect he said there will be a link that you can click on and check everyday to see when it'll be back. I'm sure it's probably a homemade website that says unfortunately it's still broken or something!

[@bubbadmatt8124]

The Murray bros attention to detail when it comes to either their builds or restorations on computers are simply exquisite. Man I wish I could have a cab and a vintage PC done by em. I'd have to get a place with more room tho. 😂

[@inkblotthecolt]

Move over Parker Brothers The Murray Brothers are taking over.

[@Technokrat1981]

This is crazy, I was thinking the whole time watching the video, that they could be brothers... Same type of voice and they also move a little like the same way. Fine to have another channel to subscribe :D

[@snafuet]

@@Technokrat1981 yeah, I was too, like "how and why did he copy David's intonation so well?", and then I realised 😂😂

[@AndersEngerJensen]

Wow! Those decals and graphics turned out way better than I had hoped! Excellent work guys! 🤩🤓😁

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

Looks like you have many talents, Anders!

[@Pracedru]

Yeah great work Anders.

[@johanlaurasia]

Great job Anders!

[@Colaholiker]

I was surprised, knowing your name for cool retro music so far, I was not aware that you are also skilled when it comes to graphics design. Great job!

[@nyccollin]

I’m just glad to see this guy support a small KZbinr by helping with the cabinet. I think this 8 bit guy could really be huge one day.

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

One thing that is to be said for the Murray brothers: they show when things go wrong as well as when they go right. I look forward to seeing how the screen issue will be solved.

[@TheGeekPub]

Absolutely. This is real life, not the Kardashians!! 🤪

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

@@TheGeekPub Thank God!

[@commanderlabs]

This has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Our team actually discussed building an arcade machine for one of our own games and this video has definitely reinvigorated that desire. The world needs more cabinets like these.

[@jgunnink3]

This is amazing. David's brother is as good a carpenter as he is a computer programmer. What are the odds so much talent would be in one family?

[@nrdesign1991]

And he sounds exactly like his brother, just a bit deeper :D

[@kaitlyn__L]

That pneumatic nailgun really made me appreciate just how much hammering carpenters used to have to do until recently. Even sped-up, it’s clearly much simpler, easier, and more reliable. I used to think blacksmithing had to involve the most hammering pre-industrial revolution, but now I’m not so sure!

[@willallen7757]

Amen, driving nails requires lots of muscle memory and the proper hammer. It's amazing how hard it is to drive a nail with the wrong hammer.

[@cameronwebster6866]

@@willallen7757 even just a different hammer of the right type can throw you off.

[@killswitch2685]

I love how both brothers can work together to get projects done. The two powerhouses of retro youtube :)

[@Nebbed]

This must have been surreal for David/The 8-Bit Guy to have an arcade cabinet based on his game being built and put in place at an arcade. Awesome work you guys, and congrats! :D

[@DanTDMJace]

It was his idea, geekpub is his brother, and he talked to the arcade owner. Probably less surreal, but yes, surreal.

[@lucasmatos6201]

As some people say "There are many forms of art" Excellent work you did in that cabinet

[@Dsun4456]

A code based save system might be a cool feature to implement (if possible) on the arcade machine in the future.

[@nyccollin]

It’s really nice to see this guy support a smaller KZbinr and help so much with the cabinet. I bet this 8 bit guy could be really popular one day.

[@KennethSorling]

Tee hee. Nice trolling.

[@RyanSmith-hi2nv]

Looks absolutely amazing! I appreciate that you guys share things even when they go wrong. Hope it's up and running soon!

[@willallen7757]

I've been doing carpentry of one form or another since 1987. You make it look very easy, I love how you hit the highpoints, there is a lot of good info compressed in this.

[@S3gf4ult__]

Both you and your brother have some awesome content. I am a programmer, geek, and a woodworker. This is quality stuff :)

[@knucklehead83]

How many people can say that they not only coded the game, but built the arcade cabinet for the game too? Eventually, when the game is running on the X16, they can say they built the computer, coded the game, and fabricated the cabinet. What an accomplishment.

[@dwaynezilla]

Damn, that cabinet looks fantastic! The cleanness of the build really takes it to the top level, and the overall look of it would more than fit in with cabinets back in the day! Well, put them to shame but it wouldn't look like it was from the future at least, hahah.

[@AristarcoPalacios]

I found myself smiling with a stupid smile when the finished unit was installed in the arcade. As if I was part of it all. This has been so awesome!! What an accomplishment for you, guys! So, so awesome!

[@drewcam]

You do amazing builds. I love to watch them. You build things the right way, and it shows in the finished product. Great video!

[@droknron]

What a beautiful cabinet. You and your brother are so talented, it's really nice to see you work together on something with him making the game and you making the cabinet. I look forward to more such collaborations :)

[@TheVampireKit]

Genius duplication of the 2nd side of the cabinet. Bummer on the CRT frying after installation. Great video. Beautiful work on it all.

[@jesuschristiscallingyou953]

I'm not into vintage gaming or arcade machines, but I can't avoid getting excited at stuff like this. The craftsmanship and all the knowledge behind it is very satisfying to me. Makes me feel warm inside. 😌

[@deleted_redacted]

It turned out GREAT! So clean and professional, very well done! Congrats.

[@alvaroff81]

Amazing work, I´m impressed by the attention to detail that you and your brother display on every single project, keep it up!

[@prestonostra]

An amazing epic project; from programming the game to construction of the cabinet. From scratch. 👏 Bravo

[@firemyst9064]

This is super detailed and tons of work. I'm glad you made this video to give me a solid snapshot of what entails making a custom cabinet vs buying one.

[@mortensteen]

I will never not be completely awestruck by your ingenuity, skills, attention to detail and patience. What an absolute stellar job, Mike!

[@Cino2424]

awesome work. i followed the whole process of developing the game. and now you made rhe right hardware

[@international806yachting]

My best friend and I just built our first Video Arcade machines (MAME) together. It was a great experience and we have learned a lot. I really like your cabinet, too. Well done! I am really tempted to steal one or two ideas for my next Video Arcade Machine cabinet, if I may. Thank you so much for sharing. You also have a new subscriber.

[@Recordology]

Amazing craftsmanship. And equally amazing how you and your brother have the exact same vocal timbre and patterns.

[@HisVirusness]

Excellent craftsmanship. It's unfortunate what happened to the CRT, but hopefully that'll only be a minor bump in the road towards this cabinet being operational again. The actual price you pay for new old-stock, right?

[@EvilPOKES]

Build is flippin' awesome! Great job dude!

[@curiousottman]

Absolutely incredible. This cabinet is a work of art.

[@P5ychoFox]

That cabinet is a work of art. Hammering in that t-moulding looks so satisfying.

[@sm98710]

Ah those Petscii flybacks, they get you every time! Enjoyed this episode and developed a great appreciation for your skill and talents.

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

By far, one of, if not thé neatest, of these Arcade Game builds, I have seen, on KZbin.

[@RobSchofield]

A clever cabinet design, expertly assembled. Great video!

[@59withqsb12]

I've never been to America, but I'd come to play PETSCII Robots in an arcade. Awesome work, Murrays! Can't wait to see the next one. Best regards from the UK.

So funny! I saw the thumbnail pop up on my feed and thought, "Sure, I'll watch some guy build a cabinet for David's game.". As I'm watching (and I see David in the vid), I'm thinking, "This guy sounds EXACTLY like David. Does everyone who lives near this area talk like this?". DUH! I finally made the connection. Loved the vid. Subscribed.

[@DickDawsonTheShills]

The cabinet came out amazing!

[@Axonteer]

My dad was a carpenter and i think he would have approved the wuality in this. Yes he was more the roof or winter garden builder and less the furniture man but he always said, go slow and do it once, rushing the job will only have you come back fixing it up later. I wish he was still around, so many cool things could have been built. Anyway , really like the craftsmanship eventhough im less of an arcade player and more just a pc gamer 🥰

[@hodyhong]

Hats off to you mate, great work!
