I love the arcade game “Galaga”

Dexter + Galaga = awesome!

Here are some pics of the first black coat going on.

Here are some pics of the arcade machine after the final topcoat went on. It took exactly 1 litre of black semi-gloss to do the two coats of black. It was really way too hot to have been painting.

And finally, here is a pic of it getting it’s first series of use in the “production” environment:

//TODO: Proper marquee lighbox reverse-printed on perspex

//TODO: Bezel to cover TV

//TODO: T-molding on base

//TODO: Holsters for light-guns

//TODO: Reinstall operating system, emulation software and get drivers for dual lightgun working

This post on the wiki for arcadecontrols.com talks about the best ways to set up multiple light guns.

Can’t wait to implement this as I have two LCD Topguns.

It didn’t appear on the site for ages and I had forgotten all about it. Today I was searching for some inspiration for “Galaga Side Art” in Google and up pops my CPO.

And the one person that rated it gave it a 5 out of 5. Yay!  :-)

Yeah yeah – small things amuse small minds…
