On a side note I also picked up a 20" wide screen monitor. I'm debating on whether I should make the switch. If I do then I'll probably make it physically rotate depending upon the games and systems.
These arrived the other day. They go perfectly with the room.
The NES Arcade.
A full fledged gaming console squeezed into a cartridge.

I was having trouble with my trackball not working properly. I put it away for months and decided to do a rewire last night. I rebuilt the original Millipede trackball and all is working well now.
Night Of The Meteor
I'm really lookin forward to this being finished. It's a remake of the classic Maniac Mansion. The art style is done up like Day of the Tentacle. Which is another great game. Thanks to klopjero over at hyperspin for discovering and posting this little gem.

Well I had originally given this cab away 2 times. First to a fellow hyperspinner, but then my little bro asked for it but He never picked it up so I ended up taking it with me when I moved. The cab itself is in great shape. I had planned on restoring it. In the process of restoring the cab I found out the the color red was bad on the tube. Then after that something went wrong with the gameboard. So after all that I decided to convert it. How could you do something like that they cry? Well I can do it because it's mine. It's been in the family for 30 years and probably will be for many more after that.
So growing up I was a huge fan of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. I decided to theme the arcade after that game. There is a guy over at devine art who drew a crap load of Zombie video game characters. They are freaking awesome! All props go to him. I have his name written down somewhere but can't remember it at the moment.
To achieve a good print I needed some vectorized art. His charcter files are large,but not large enough to use without losing the quality. Below is a screenshot of his original and my redraw. His has more detail and shadowing, but mine isn't too shabby either.
