Something I've wanted to do for weeks finally started. Maintaining a blog about the cool project i started a few weeks ago. Building an arcade! The idea is to make it for my son, but to be honest i'm also enthousiast because of the nostalgic feeling i have with these machines!
I remember the days on vacation with my parents during the 80's early 90's spending time in the arcade hall of the resort playing Galaga and score a free play on the pinball machine. That was great.
Remember other game titles as Outrun, Afterburner, Supersprint. Maybe more pop up during this blog.
Anyway what triggered me to get this thing started was the movie 'A fistful of quarters'. A must-see for arcade fans. It made me curious about todays arcade scene and so i discovered the whole MAME community. To my surprise the arcade scene is very active. Maybe not that much in the Netherlands, but still on internet there is a lot to read and discover about this.
Anyway, back to the reason to create this BLOG :)
Owning an arcade is fun, building even more.
As written, i've started building, i'll post the photos in the next updates so you can see what left to do. Also in this BLOG tips and tricks i ran into. I'm not that experienced with wiring and woodworking so if you dive into some kind of same project there might be something usefull to read for you.
