My son and I had a great time building his Dinocade.

KLOVer javeryh has the best little girl's cab ever. Would be great as a 60-in-1 or MAME:

I myself made a smaller cab with different angles but is still a throw-back to a ms.pac cab.:

Thanks! I've always liked your Spongebob cab. My kids especially like the pictures I've shown them of it.

Here's my daughter's in case you don't feel like clicking the link...

It is a great height for her and an adult can sit in a chair and play very comfortably.

You are certainly some cool dads! I love Bella's and the Dinocade too... what fun it must have been building them and sharing the love with your kids!

You do! It's just a Ms. Pac-man cabinet scaled to 80%. I got the plans from jakobud.com (which I know aren't 100% accurate but they were close enough for this project) and just did some math. CHECK IT OUT.

Those are all really cool,but I think if my child shows interest my games I will.....buy him/her a chair to climb up on to play them.

My daughter has a stepstool she takes from cab to cab. She's 5 and really seems to be just now developing the coordination to play joystick games. I'm actually not even sure she'd play her own mini-cab alone, she usually asks to play as something to do together.

All kids are different though, so who knows?

that is how my dad built the mini pac i have but he went to 70%. he built 3 of them. he sold 2 and gave me this one.

This was just a Simpsons mini I built and sold, and the second is the same model of cabinet but prepared with a PC for my first daughter's 2nd birthday. She mostly plays some education games on it and uses it as an MP3 jukebox. She plays it practically every time we're in that room, which is about twice a week.

nice mini cades...

My question is: if you were to build a JAMMA one... what would be the best easy games for really young kids... like 4 years or so...

I like how Bella is on her tippy toes...
