tremoloman2006 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Now that's one hell of a lamp! We got to get this mass produced! Talk about the ultimate conversation piece to an 80s game room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say that again! I'm going to build one and as someone else in here mentioned, I'll add sound to it so when you turn it on, you hear the intro sound of Pac-Man and when you turn it off you'll hear the sound of Pac-Man when you lose a life.

VideoFever1982 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Any idea what game box images were used on the other side. I know the ones on the front are Airlock, Frogger, Chopper Command, Demon Attack, Pitfall, Pac-Man, River Raid, and Air-Sea Battle.

Zwackery Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would definitely like to have one of these. Excellent design, I hope it wins an award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Well, it's time to unveil this: It's not painted yet, obviously and the little dashes aren't on there yet. The button is actually a switch to turn the lamp on and off. The joystick DOES look the correct scale when the lamp shade is on top. It was in Home Depot to get a feel for how long the joystick should be to get it to look scale. If anyone is interested in one, let me know. I'll have more pictures in a few weeks. Plus, I am still looking for a place to print on a lampshade.. either that or I'll just make mine like the guy from Instructables did. Without making the lampshades in advance I'd be able to put whatever someone wanted on it. Edited February 15, 2009 by yuppicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lampshade with the classic Atari logo tiled acorss it would look just as nice. With either a black lampshade or even woodgrain!

yuppicide Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think a black lampshade would be nice too. Just so there's no confusion here.. my friend is making this for me. I did not make it. He has taken measurements and will make more if people want them. I had him take measurements for this purpose and because eventually I think I want a second one myself.

Tony J Case Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 So what ever happened to the project? Did it die on the vine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Someone on here purchased the one off me. I believe the final cost was $110 + about $15 shipping. Um, the only thing I later realized is I had a clamp that holds on the shade, but forgot to send it in the package. I contacted them and didn't hear back anything, so I'm guessing their satisfied with the quality of everything. On page 2 of THIS thread I have posted a picture of the final product without shade.

Wow, I like the look of it in wood tone, with those contrasting woods. That's beautiful, now I gotta make me one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
