Title: Horrible Mame cabinets.
Post by: grifter on January 08, 2015, 11:05:17 pm
I'm not usually a negative kind of guy however I found these first two mame cabinets while searching for arcade machines on a local classified page... This got me thinking about what the worst mame cabinet really looks like.  (eye candy below)

I dunno, that rotating one is pretty ingenious if you don't want a frankenpanel. I can't hate too much, I'm working on downsizing the monstrosity I created.

I really like the big rotating one! That seems like it would be really good, but take up a LOT of room. Still im pretty impressed, it looks like he converted an old weight machine.

The rotating one, i must agree, that it a pretty clever design. Ms Stacie is also nice. But some of the other looks like they just went mad with a drill and then realised they had to fill the holes withs something they had laying around, and that happened to be buttons.
