Ah yes, I remember the good ol'days, waiting for what seemed like an eternity for my turn to play Pac-Man at the local pizza joint, and when I finally dropped my quarter in, there was nothing better than feeling the click of the keyboard keys beneath my fingers as I took in the magical glow of the 16x9 display. As a child, I often had trouble telling the difference between the "5" key and the "S" key because they just looked so damn similar, but I eventually got the hang of it. I also didn't understand the varied functionality of the "Menu" and "Esc" keys, but an older local boy took me under his wing and imbued his arcade wisdom within me. I wish I could go back, but alas, I have no laser cutter. I'm fairly certain that Midway released this in the U.S. with an F1 key, but that could be the Mandela Effect talking... My only advice to you would be to add a "Prt Sc" key so I can capture screenshots of the magic of my youth.

the S is for 'six'

The fact that you had to go into that much detail to form a smart-ass remark says volumes about your character 🙄

[@ocmatrat6924]

[@chadzero]

This reminds me of your older picade style vids, loved it!

[@RetroBuiltGames]

it is one of the original designs with a few tiny updates!

[@bigrob029]

agreed. that Jet Moto music definitely slaps. unlocked some of my repressed childhood memories.

[@RetroBuiltGames]

yeahhh!

[@Colin_Ames]

Nice work, as always. A laser cutter would be a nice tool to have.

[@RetroBuiltGames]

i think it's my favorite $$$$$ tool

[@usafa1987]

Nice new laser cutter you’ve got there!

[@RetroBuiltGames]

lol thanks, it's broken right now :(

"Can be more than an uncomfortable arcade cabinet" PMSL :)

[@SidebandSamurai]

Hmmm. Nice project. I don't have a laser cutter ... But a jig saw and a scroll saw will work.

[@atariforever2002]

Love the design, wish you could see the bottom of your bezel artwork though

[@RetroBuiltGames]

thank you. I choose some camera angles that are not flattering
