So new I am still wet! See you at Grinkfest!

[Davalope]

Hi folks, I am the Davalope, a new new newbie from Canada.  Yeah I know...all this forum needs is another fresh noob!  Well I am hopeful that I will be welcomed here so that I can get back to the memories of the 80's and 90's when cabinets were king!  I don't currently have any actual games at my place but I pal around with a few guys who do.  I am absolutely enthusiastic about the entire subculture that surrounds retro arcade games.  Back when I was a kid my favorite game was Space Panic; I loved it then and I love it now.  So far I am relegated to building a Retro Pi Mame cabinet that hopefully will very closely resemble an original cabinet.

 I am still deciding what cabinet design to mimic.  What are your favorite cabinet designs?

Anyway, I will be making the 12+ hour drive to be at Grinkfest this year with friends, and perhaps I will meet many of you there!  Till then...
Coin Up Folks!

I'm from Canada too.  I remember Space Panic, or maybe it was a bootleg.  Played it on ColecoVision as well and I remember a friend of mine getting a laugh out of the fart-like noise when one of the aliens runs into you.  Looks like it was in a Universal cabinet, so are you going to go with that shape?  As for my fave cabinet design, probably the old Namco one for Pac-Man/Galaga.
