How should I decorate this thing?

On this video blog I am starting to make my own Arcade Cabinet MAME machine! This is going to be an awesome project! Basically it will be an “EVERY ARCADE EVER MADE” will be playable on this machine! So far, I have spent ZERO dollars on this project! I’m projecting to spend at least $200 total. But we’ll see how it goes. 🙂 SUBSCRIBE!

What are some of your favorite Arcade games? Galaga? PacMac? Donkey Kong?

You should restore it and keep it, or give it to a coin op museum. This is a piece of video gaming history.  If you want a MAME cabinet, then build your own from scratch.  Do not be lazy and stupid, like most Americans are.  OBSERVE the old coin op and think about its history.  Do not destroy that history.  Original coin op arcade machines are getting harder to find.  THINK !

Yeah. Converting this would ruin it. This thing is a classic. Mame cabinets can be built from scratch for cheap as fuck. It would be desicration.

It would be cool it you can like… Hook up somekinda visual sensor thing like the wii so u can play games like duck hunt…. Those dancing pads for any dancing games u may have… Or maybe a steering wheel and go out in style man…

Brian Figueroa says:

That's dope man, and it's hand held; you just gotta be really strong to carry that thing around…
Man it sounds like fun.

Brian Figueroa says:

I got a good laugh at the end, but man you ideas are cool. I'd keep the original art on the side, but designing it is an original idea too.
Have fun man!

Christine Riutzel says:

That's pretty cool. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
I've never been to 1984, now I want to go.

I think the original decal is perfect, just touch up the blue paint around it.

Canote Films says:

lol. There were a lot of old wasp nests in there. Luckily the larva I found inside of them were all dead. Bla!

Canote Films says:

Thanks for the awesome comment! I will keep everyone updated on my progress via video blog. I went ahead and bought some pain tonight at Home Depot. Brought in a sample I peeled off the side of the cabinet. 🙂 And you are right, imperfection does work for nostalgic items!

Canote Films says:

lol. Thanks for the comment! I went ahead and got a paint sample off the side this evening and had a quart of blue paint made up. Going to just touch it up a wee bit. =P

redditate says:

Samantha Watters says:
