Tiny Shmup Cocktail Cab

Post by vcoleiro1 »

So with the release of iMame4all on the app store, I built my own Tiny Cocktai Cab which runs iMame4all using an iphone/ipod touch.
Check it below:

I have built an upright version , vid of it is below:

That's a really slick micro cocktail table cab indeed. The overall aestethics reminds me of those cool early 1980s Japanese style cocktail table cabs that I used to see at my local Chuckie E. Cheese's pizza/arcade joint.

And there'd be the American woodie-based cocktail-table cabs that I'd see at my local Pizza Hut back in early '80s as well. They used some thick MDF based particle board for both sides of the cocktail cabs & full color glass overlays for that eye-catchy look. Quite different from playing the classic arcade games on a traditional upright cab setup.

Do you plan on making a few to sell or is it just a one-off project, vcoleiro1?

If someone really wanted one , I might be convinced to make another. They do take a while to build by hand though.

Spiffy mini-cab! How long did it take you to build the cocktail cab?
