Fallout Themed Cabinet - First Build


Recommended Posts

Posted

Yes - Fallout is not an arcade game, but I wanted to set up a cabinet from the Fallout universe anyway. Consider this a tribute. The cabinet is an old NBA Jams game that an arcade owner had converted over to a bowling game that no longer worked. It was a bit beat up (and cheap) and I thought that the Fallout theme would also make up for any nicks, dents or flaws.

Graphics came from dozens of web sources and were mashed together to cover up for low resolution issues.

The controls are your basic X-Arcade Tankstick with some home-grown graphics overlaid. This was my first build and I didn't have the ability or tools to build my own controls - this was my best solution for a first go-around.

These pics highlight a lot of detail due to lighting adjustments. Outside of the Vault Boy colors, everything else blends in very well. (It's not as busy as it might look in these pix.)

There you go. First cabinet and I'm starting to load it with Hyperspin. Off to the rest of the forum to find some noob Hyperspin help...

Not sure if you want a thems song for your cab but there's an old obscure Police song (didn't appear on any of their official albums) called Fallout... you could sample it and use it with your cab.

Here's one theme song:

And another:

That came out pretty good man! Love the Fallout theme, goes good with an old cab and you don't have to fix any damage like you said. :)

You did a beautiful job with the graphics - it looks fantastic! Any chance you'd post some of the art?

Aimtrak from ultimarc will be your best bet. Try and stay away from the top guns. Had some and there nothing but problems.
