Did you guys ever try to build your own arcade game when you were kids?
I never had money like Ricky Schroder in silver spoons so owning a arcade game back in the 1980's was only a dream. I remember back in 1987 when I was 10 constructing a stand up machine out of cardboard and plywood that had something like a 13" crt hooked up to an atari 2600. It had a control pannel with the joysticks attached with rubber cement and a cardboard coin door. I am sure it looked like crap but remembering back I think it looked pretty sweet. Did any of you try and make your own arcade machines when you were kids?
