Build your own arcade game

So you have an old Dual 500Mhz G4 sitting around, and a copy of MacMAME? Why not spend a ridiculous amount of time (about a year or so) and effort to create your very own arcade game, powered by OS X, natch.

That’s just what creativebastard did, and he chronicles the whole thing on his blog. I must say that it is a very cool idea, and a great use of some old Mac hardware. If I was handier with a saw and electronics, and had more space in my small apartment I would be tempted to build my own.

I have a strong desire to play DigDug for some reason.

thanks, this might just spur my interest to go finish mine. I built the control box, got it to work and gave up. finishing the cabinet. There are tons more resources available online. A good place to start is at: www.arcadecontrols.com
