Opposable Thumbs

If there's one thing I've always wanted to have in the ol' collection it's a very nice looking full sized stand up MAME cabinet. There is just something very cool about all the arcade classics in one cabinet with good arcade parts on there. Why don't I have one? Because other than playing games I suck with doing things with my hands. I've never been able to build anything, hammer in something straight, or paint to save my life. It's sad, I know, but when it comes to building stuff I'm at a loss.

Which is why I've never attempted to make a MAME cabinet. If I had, it would probably look like one of these messes. That's right, link after link of terrible looking attempts at MAME cabinets. While the language aint exactly safe for work, the point and laught potential is huge.

If you have a good sense of humor click below for some very "special" creations.

This isn't typical fair and I'd advise not drinking while perusing.

I'd rather have a really cool, intricate pinball machine.

Very nice. I've thought about building a cabinet but that is about as far as I've gotten. Mame is an awesome emulator if you love the old arcade games.
