A bartop version of an old early 80's arcade classic
A bartop version of an old early 80's arcade classic.
I already had built a full scale arcade machine, and had some other games. But I didn't have anything that could play games that used a spinner.
So I took the real dimensions of the arcade version of Tempest, one of the classic spinner games, and scaled it down to sit on top of a table or bar.
Most of the materials used to build the cabinet were actually scrap plywood left over from a poker table I had built.
Check out the video of the build process, below.
