I don't blame you, your cabinet looks GREAT! Painting and finishing is the one thing I wish I had done better - next time!! Maybe this summer, I'll redo the control panel and make it look a little snazzier.

Tell you what, though, it's GREAT playing a little Lode Runner on a 22" wide-screen! Way better than the green screen of 1985!!

Absolutely impressive. I love the flight stick and the tiered design. The only major thing missing besides a light gun is a steering wheel. A steering wheel is the major thing that I'm missing (besides more exotic sticks), so I end up just using the spinner as a wheel.

I've considered doing other emulation on my machine (though with my collection I tend to prefer to use the real thing), but right now I just use MAME mostly and media stuff, as well as use a commercial Dragon's Lair collection and commercial pinball games. I used GameTap for a while on it, but haven't reupped my subscription.
