    Gotta love the way the first picture on the ad is in the dark, on some level he must also appreciate the fact that it's a monstrosity.

    Regarding the controls, he could have put the stupid screen a few inches higher and had it looking...normal.

    But no, apparently you aren't playing arcade games correctly unless you have your hands in a piano playing position and are staring down at your crotch.

    He could have mounted the screen below the wood to hide the name on it. Also there is severe bubbling in the vinyl on it. I just hope he is a kid and if so fair play to him. Thats my only hope..

    Weird badge nipple things aside, is it just me or does it look like some kind of optical illusion?

    My brain can't make sense of the cabinet size versus the stick and button size. :confused:

    It honestly looks like someone tried to make one of those cheap Chinese linux emulation handhelds for a giant.

    On a brighter note, if this was the Fallout universe, that cab would be worth a fortune!

    That last Outrun one doesn't look too bad to me to be honest.

    It's a nice compromise between traditional controls and driving games... and that's a decent steering wheel to boot!

    Some very tidy work and collection of 6 games :)

    'So, you are bidding on a one of a kind DIY arcade-like machine, which I built in 5 months in my spare time using a headboard for a bed I acquired. I built around it, attached 2 arcade joysticks, stencilled, painted and am using a monitor inside a custom casing I built. It's kinda modular, I.e. the boards at the bottom, you slot in at the bottom to create the full assembly, but can be removed when you need to put it in a van for collection (transit van is highly recommended, or a van with good head clearance). The boards used at the bottom are MDF, cut to size, varnished and painted to keep the colour theme I had going.'

    Note: The underside shows my construction limitations - There are protruding screws (and bolts behind the housing for the monitor). I am making you aware, because I will not take responsibility for any injury caused by misuse or hyperactive children :D. Also made mainly from wood so be aware that as with any wood based stuff, it can set on fire if you're careless with matches and cigarettes. Again, I cannot take responsibility for this. By buying this item, you have agreed to do so at your own risk of these typical dangers (again, I mention this because it's a DIY project I assembled a year ago so is not a retail item, but has been made with some off the shelf parts).
    LOL - you have been warned
