Coolest. MAME. Cab. Ever.

The Tardis has other uses than time travel, so it would seem....

Booo, all that work and no arcade monitor?

No, what you see there is just a compacted version of the control console for the TARDIS itself. The actual MAME cabinet is further in, near where the zero room used to be. What's really cool about using the TARDIS to hold your MAME cab is that you can take all the ROMS sufficiently into the future, past their copyright expiration dates and play everything legally. Totally brilliant.

Meh. It shouldn't just run ROMS, it should have a whole arcade inside - one each of every cab ever built. This being a TARDIS, it's supposed bigger on the inside than it is the outside...right?

Couldn't I just back to 1983/4 and go to a mega-arcade of the time? I'm pretty sure I could talk either #4, #5, #6 or #10 into taking me.....

But then I'd get stuck in an Arcade game for real, and he'd have to fight the Celestial Toymaker to get me out; I've read 'The Nightmare Fair'.....

amazing!

Haha, nice

I wonder if it plays the Gary Glitter/Timelords remix of Rock & Roll Pt.2/Dr. Who on an endless loop while you're playing.

There never was any hugely commercially successful Dr. Who game was there?

(searching brain...)
Maybe not here in the States, but in the UK there was....
2 games (6th Doc era) for C64 and..Speccy(?) sorta a maze/mine/puzzle game.

'Dalek Attack', a Left -> Right shooter from the McCoy days (I have that one floating around here somewhere; I remember being a bit underwhelmed by it...)

'Destiny of the Doctors' that CD-ROM game now known for Anthony Ainley's final performance as the Master.

Oh! Commercially successful?

Maybe the DS Dr. Who Trumps game, but that's about it. ( I don't have the DS game)

Still needs an arcade monitor, TARDIS or not.
