Back to the Arcade - Summary

This has been a very fun project and continues to present challenges as I continue tweaking and modifying but most of all it was something I got to do with my son who wasn’t even born when I first started the process.  Now I go to him when I have configuration challenges since he is in the process of building his own projects.  I have learned that playing the games is just OK for me.  I enjoy the building and troubleshooting and improving on the project as a whole.

I hope this information is useful to someone who is going to undertake a project like this or just appreciates learning a little arcade history.  Feel free to ask questions or start a discussion about any of the topics presented.

Our next goal is to build a multi-driving game for all the great driving games out there like Pole Position, Night Driver, Outrun, etc.  We already picked up a non-working Pole Position cabinet so we have a starting point.
