I thought I'd try something different making a computer game into an arcade cabinet with better graphics.



I'm working on a Splatter House one but I don't know what the cabinet really looks like so I'll guess i'll Improvise

Just found a free paper Galaga cocktail table courtesy of Marshall Alexander.
Not really accurate but fun...

From the same website the C64/Atari/Pong "family".

Need more Paper Arcade machines?

This is the largest collection I have found:

Here is a more accurate Joust (by me):

Dragon’s Lair Pinball?
Here is a Pinball Machine template that could easily be converted:

I am printing all of them @ about 1” high and then I will start making more games (like 1941):

Prototype (on a Penny) - Cling Wrap over the screen to simulate glass. Black "sharpie" to paint inner cabinet. Need "cupcake" sprinkle for joystick ball.  56 lb. high-gloss photopaper 8)

Enjoy  :)


Edit: I just received the 6-Player X-Men cabinet from Mr. Green aka: ~paperart

Cool. Here's one for Gravitar which is originally from the 80s.
I made this one, but I had printed it on normal paper and it really needs something a bit thicker...
