Arcade Machine
I decided to build this 'arcade machine' to relive some memories of the first functional & fun video game I ever made; Space Orcs, which was designed to be played 2 player on an arcade machine. The controls where hard coded into the game and I decided it would be easier to rebuild the controller than the game.
Design based entirely off 1 photo of me holding the screen against the computer case.
Took some time to plan and acquire the parts but only took a Saturday to assemble. Its come in handy as a regular computer a few times afterward.
The poor thing now sits under my desk unused and takes up a lot of space...

Years later... My game is still on display at my old Tafe to show students what you'll learn from their course.
