I guess most of you have some hobbies, only the internet can appreciate

For that reason please consider taking a look at my mini arcade cab here, which I've finished earlier this year.

Btw. I'd really love to see the AGS engine on Linux, so I can finally write a sequel to Aeronuts and build a SCUMM cab afterwards.

whaaa that looks amazing Abstauber

And works pretty well too, very nice.
Now let's hope you don't run out of miniature coins.

Oh btw, you could try wine to run AGS games.

That's amazing...
You've inspired me to start up a new hobby... Giant beer bottles!

That's all kinds of great.

:o

Are you taking orders? I'll have 10!
Kickstart that sucker.

Sweet

. I want to build one of those pinball ones myself (seen someone who commented on your video who makes stuff like this too and he had made one).

Squinky · Sat 29/01/2011 16:16:06

God damned impressive.

Anian · Sat 29/01/2011 16:22:07

I thought you just made a little model of an arcade machine and thought "well that's nice", then I saw the video and was really impressed.

Tuomas · Sat 29/01/2011 17:49:18

Very cool dude!

Dualnames · Sun 30/01/2011 18:18:07

That's incredibly awesome Abstauber!!

Igor Hardy · Sun 30/01/2011 19:09:56

Brilliant toy!

Thanks guys! This is still the best place on the net

@Ascovel
Yep, the older you get the harder it is to find sufficient toys. I suppose if I got this during my childhood, I would have turned into that N64 Kid

@Steve
But going commercial? I don't think I'd have the breath to negotiate with the chinese mass production industry... and who would pay 400 USD for a mini cab anyway?

@Wyz
Maybe I should go back to AGS 2.6 and use DosBox if I ever write games for it (or simply learn to use SDL). Wine has not been ported to Dingux at this time.

@Peder
Yeah, a mini pinball is indeed very cool. But as Pocket Lucho (the guy from YT) wrote, it's very pricey. I estimated around 800 - 1000 eur (Intel C2D, 2 screens etc.)

Look, I built an arcade cab
