Here’s another fantastic, Robotron-like, Mutant Storm-like game… Grid Wars 2 by Mark Incitti. A dual joystick setup or joystick + 4 fire buttons is ideal. This game takes you by surprise because of it’s unique mix of old skool and modern graphics and physics. It looks rather plain, and it is for the [...] I’ve recently discovered a number of excellent PC games that play beautifully on a MAME arcade cabinet. I loaded them onto my Aladdin’s Castle and they are absolutely brilliant. Mutant Storm by PomPom One of my favorite old-skool games is Robotron by Williams. I love the two-joystick action or running and firing in two [...] You may know that I built my own MAME arcade cabinet in 2005 (see link above). Well earlier this year (2007), the Happ trackball on my control panel started to fail. It would no longer track vertically, and this functionality died over a period of days. My control panel is a SlikStik Classic, purchased [...] I received an email about my Aladdin’s Castle MAME cabinet recently. My reply was so thoughful and amazingly detailed that I figured I should use it as cheap content for Ooine. So here we go: The email: I was just reading your blog on your cabinet andreally liked how it turned out. I’ve just [...] Got my marquee from mamemarquees.com (thanks Scott) and it was quite beautiful. Extremely deep, vibrant colors on what appeared to be something like photographic paper. So I visited my cabinet and installed that baby between the plexiglass. Immediately I noticed that the colors get a bit washed out. But not too badly.

While not 100% finished, we are getting very close. I’m almost feeling a sense of disappointment with the completion. The journey is really what it’s all about. I fired everything up and it was very cool to see [...] Woohoo! Yesterday I received my SlikStik control panel. It works perfectly. I was actually amazed at what it could accomplish. My wife came to take a look and ended up playing Ms. Pac-Man like crazy. She was so into it… screaming and everything when the ghosts were about to get her. Sooo… funny. I [...] 9/27/2005 Parts installation, t-molding, cabinet door installation, coin door, painting touch-ups. I had asked in another thread whether or not I should apply some sort of clear coat to the interior latex enamel paint that I used to paint the cabinet. A few people said yes and a few people said no. Well, it [...] I’ve been finding Arabian Knights-type art very difficult to find on the net. I have no idea what I’m going to do for side art, but I figured I should at least be able to pull a marquee together. This is my first try: The actual file is 26 inches wide, 11 inches [...] Tags: aladdin, arcade, build, cabinet, castle, construction, graphics, mame, marquee Category: MAME Arcade Cabinet9/25/2005 Painting final colors. I am envisioning a cabinet with a black, purple, reddish theme to go with my memories of Aladdin’s Castle.
