I now have 3 projects and cant decide what to work on next. Robotron Mini, Defender, and Gorf. They are each pretty sad basket cases and will require a lot of work.

Converted Gorf:

And weatherbeaten Defender :

From the pics it looks like the Robotron mini may be the easiest. I'd do that one because mini's look cool. - Barry
 
The Robotron does look like the least amount of woodworking. It depends on whether you are going to stencil the sides or not.

There is no real challenge in doing the Robotron so I'll pay shipping and you can send it to me. Go for the Defender, now that is a mans job..... :grin:

None of them look too hard but personaly I would do the Robotron first because I want one.
 
The Robo and Defender will get stenciled if the cabinets can be "stabilized". The Defender is weather/water damaged, the Robotron needs a couple of the joints glued, its pretty shaky, it needs a fair amount of patch work too. Defender has board issues, and Robo has monitor and harness issues.
 
thats a tough call. i think i might do all 3 at once. inevitably you will need SOMETHING that you dont have, and will need to send away for, and move on to the next thing you can do.
i might go with a whole bunch of woodworking and get all that done and over with.

the tough part is capping your projects at 3. me? feels like i have 20 projects going on at once.

if you were to hold a gun to my head i might have to pick the DEFENDER.
 
get all three games working first before you start on the cabinet work so you can play one whilst working on another and admiring the third, gorf then defender then robo, and swap, and swap , ........ :D
