Some of you asked me information about the arcade cabinet I'm currently modding.
**Some info:**
I'm using an old 2nd gen Pac Man cabinet from Arcade1Up.
Exterior: Will paint it blue, add Donkey Kong original stickers to the side. Will order a new Donkey Kong Marquee (based on the original arcade one)
I plan to create a new Control Panel (based on that image I'm showing you). So it will be a 3 buttons (instead of 1) but I think it will still look great. And it will give you more options with the games.
In terms of the games, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ since I am dealing with a vertical screen. I want to limit myself to vertical screen games only (I hate stretched out games - or horizontal games looking lost on a vertical screen).
I am a purist. So if a game is a 4-way joystick game, I want a 4-way, not a 8-way joystick. Since Donkey Kong is the theme of that cab, it will be a 4-way joystick and only 4-way joystick games.
I also only wanted games from the 80s. Here's the list I came up with. Oh and yeah, I wanted a limited number of games. When there are too many options, you keep scrolling over and over and spend more time picking something than doing something!
List of games:
Donkey Kong (Nintendo)
Donkey Kong 3 (Nintendo)
Donkey Kong Jr (Nintendo)
Donkey Kong Pauline Edition
Punchout (Nintendo)
Super punchout (Nintendo)
Arm Wrestling (Nintendo)
Heli fire (Nintendo)
Burger Time (Bally Midway)
Frogger (Sega/Gremlin)
Pooyan (Stern Electronics)
Kicker (Konami)
Circus Charlie (Konami)
Mr Do! (Universal)
Mr Do!’s Castle (Universal)
Bagman (Valadon Automation)
Super Bagman (Stern Electronics)
Pengo (Sega)
Anteater (Tago Electronics)
Nibbler (Rock Ola)
