I didn't get to ride today so I decided it was time to work on the arcade cabinet... so here it is... home built cocktail arcade cabinet which not only plays the ORIGINAL classic arcade games (galaga, pacman, tron, etc) but also plays all of my favorite commodore 64 games. In the photo, my 6yr old is playing IMPOSSIBLE MISSION (stay awhile... stay forever! whahaha)

Surely there is some old computer geek on here who realizes how significant the c64 is as the primordial computing foundation of all that exists today.

Once I add a third and fourth control set on the side, it'll play full screen with two players or 4 player... I'll be adding track balls for missle command, etc, and 4 controllers will allow games like gauntlet,etc to be played with all 4 players.
