atari_man Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Ok some time over this summer, me and a few other people will begin production on our own aracade machine, and i was just wondering if any one had any NEW ideas for it, i don't want any rehashed ideas, the only guidlines i have is that it is a retros style, something commonly seen the the late 70s early 80s, any display works, all NEW ideas are welcome, thanks...

Cassidy Nolen Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I built a Soul Caliber about a year ago. What a pain in the butt. Ended up selling it at auction for like a G just to move it. In my opinion, unless you are going to work in fiberglass, a wood cabinet as a starting point is easier than a total new-from scratch. Modifying existing lines is easy; making new ones, that actually hold the monitor properly is tough. Just a suggestion. Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Why not port Yar's Revenge from the 2600 to arcade? I've always wondered if it could make the transition well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_man Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 The yar's revenge thing isn't exactly a bad idea, BUT i was hoping to put this out on a "hot spot" and make some quick cash off of it, so it's more than a hobby, so now the hard part begins, is Yar's Revenge still owned under a copy right? And if it is who owns it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I think Telegames USA owns it. Kryssun had a tangle with them over the name... Where is he anyway? Hope he's ok.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidGameKing Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 paticle board is cheap but I wouldnt use it, it's prone to water dammage, and it weighs too much. go with the much more expensive, but worth it plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
