Video Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Cool, is that like a life size arcade? or just a mini with the vec stuck in it? I thought about two mods, one getting a tiny (like 2 inch) TV and makeing a portable, or getting a huge TV (or maybe a laser projector) and makeing a huge arcade system. I don't know though, as cool as that would e, I'd probably never get aroujdn to itl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plink Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 btw i know that someone (dunno who though) was making and selling these YASI cover art sticks. Haven't seen them anywhere for sale though and I was wondering, is the YASI cover art stickers still available from somewhere or is there any chance I can find somewhere the design so I can print em in vinyl or something...?

mos6507 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) What I always thought would be cool would be a half-mirrored Vectrex cab so you could do Warrior with the little blacklight glow in the dark diorama. Wouldn't that mess up existing games because of the mirroring? Anyway, making slide-in dioramas like that rather than flat overlays would be quite the cottage industry for new custom homebrews. No emulator would ever be able to simulate it properly. Edited May 20, 2009 by mos6507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you did a great job on that! I bought, not did it! But it is very much my style...and I think it is something I wanted to do! But I do have plans to do my own. My own style and 2 of my favorite vector games. And Im making 2 controller overlays for it too! I will post when its ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting forever for someone to make that game (that and Tail Gunner). How bout a Major Havok (best vector game ever) or a REAL Tempest...or a updated berzek. I personally want really bad a Debris...cant wait for a Debris 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Given that the cabinet is being sold on eBay, I guess the dimensions and any build detail will not be shared? I would love to have my Vectrex look like that!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
