YANDMAN Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hi Guys Had something pretty cool happen with My Yars revenge arcade cabinet recently, Im sure most of you will be aware that arcade owner and restorer Richie Knucklez also made a yars revenge arcade cabinet i think with the guys from this old game, Well i recently got talking to Richie and showed him my cabinet that i had built, He said he preferred my sideart and i said i preferred his marquee so we swapped artwork with each other and somewhat unified the two machines across the globe. I know several of you commented when i first posted about not liking the marquee so here is a couple pics of how it is now, i think it looks great, So thank you Richie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sweet! What is that though... a cab you built around a 2600 system? Have a videoplexer to switch between games ala Neo*Geo style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very nice! I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameofyou Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Nice man! I liked your original cab, too, but "Yars" was hard to read on the original marquee. The new one is awesome! I have a MAME cab that I made many years ago, but for that I was able to start with an empty Centipede cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameofyou Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Thats cool, did you keep it styled as centipede?? I hope so as those cabinets are beautiful and i want one Definitely, I kept the Centipede cab as original as I could. The control panel was trashed though, so I replaced it with a standard joystick and a couple action buttons. Here is an older photo of it: http://www.gamingenterprisesinc.com/temp/Mame_Cab.jpg Edited September 21, 2013 by gameofyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Much better marque. Now I think we need something more on the bezel around the screen. Maybe a lot more Yars (like Galaga) with the energy field or a star field on the bezel. I just don't like the large print Atari below the screen. It's too detracting and feels redundant since its already on the cab. It makes the screen feel small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YANDMAN Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Im already there, I have drawn up artwork for the force field to go across the bottom of the bezel so that it looks like yar is flying down toward it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YANDMAN Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Im already there, I have drawn up artwork for the force field to go across the bottom of the bezel so that it looks like yar is flying down toward it and im thinking of making up a black and white points schematic to run along the right side of the bezel this filling it in nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That sounds much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YANDMAN Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 yeah im glad you said that because i was looing at it for several months and i couldnt decide if it would be overkill or not, im still not convinced but if one more person has also seen that vision then ill try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
