Metalzoic Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 That control panel is massive. I thought it must be a 4-player at first. Is there a reason you built it so large?
danwelsh Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 That control panel is massive. I thought it must be a 4-player at first. Is there a reason you built it so large? I just like the extra space for the trackball I'm lovin my arcade
