Paper Arcade

[evilmess]

"... old-skool arcade coin-op cabs, rendered in miniature, with their original artwork and all ready to be printed out, folded up and arranged on your desktop at work..."

Ran across this link from slashdot:games

That looks so sweet. I'm gonna have my own arcade up and running in a matter of minutes!

Dammit, times like this I wish the ink in my printer was still full.

That page wont open for me....site down maybe?
But it reminded me of these sites.


http://www.hitmaker.co.jp/site/download_pcm.html - some paper consoles

http://www.gotorion.com/orion/single...papercraft.txt - Nintendo paper models.


I hope these are along the same lines as the original post.

Mmm, nice. I tried to make one of those paper Master Systems once, but then I found out that I wasn't very craft oriented.

Worked for me, but you know /. - kills things it does.

[Mayhem]

Wasn't as a result of /. actually... they've been having a couple of DNS problems recently. Hopefully should be sorted now. Site works fine for me.

I thought I'd revive this topic because I've finally gotten around to putting a couple of these puppies together. My craft skills ain't all that either, to be honest, but it sure is fun to put some unlikely party in front of the "machines" once I have a finished product.



I think I suddenly have an excuse to take more action figures to OKGE.

I think I'm going to do a few more. This one was real fun and real easy!

Gee, now that Spider-Man 2 is doing so great and all..I wonder what ever happened to his old buddies...*thinks*

[THXII38]

someone from a forum I host, made the set;

I tried, but then I remeber why they asked me not to do craft & design at school.........

You've got a few cabinets (like Q-bert) that don't appear on the page. Are they still around somewhere? Thanks for the link; I haven't seen this before, and I've been wondering what to do with my Jesus and Shakespeare action figures.

I had to hodgepodge together the Centipede, Frogger and Q*bert from the Defender cabinet (did Donkey Kong as well, until I saw that wayoftherodent did more (and did 'em better). If anyone wants the images for those three cabs, just pm me.

[izret101]

These are all so cool.
I will be making a bunch of these.

Thanks fo all the links guys.

[boatofcar]

Just a few tips after ruining a few cabinets with my lack of craftiness.

Be sure to hold down shift when you resize the pics after dragging them into Word to keep the proportions. D'oh!

Use a sharpie to darken in the area around the screen on the inside of the cabs.

Thanks everybody for the intro to my new hobby

Yep, I've had my Pacman paper cab for many months, right next to my monitor. I definitely didn't put it together quite right, though. I had to take a marker to it, but it looks right now.

I made a Galaga machine and put it on my bosses desk. Lets see how long he lets it sit there.
