Thanks for watching!
Absolutely loved watching this whole series and seeing the whole project develop with all the great team work.
Please do a Part 8 that covers the implementation of any of the revisions you talked about.
Such a great series. Encore! Additional arcade projects! :D
I was hoping there'd be a post-show episode like this. This has been a great series! I can guarantee Starlords wouldn't really be my cup of tea as a game, but watching it get designed and built has been very enjoyable.
Another game idea for that setup is a micromachines style of racing game. Top down view, one button to gas and the other to break. Could be really cool.
Love that idea
- OLED display
- tempered etched top glass
- weighted metal alum real arcade spinners instead of pots
- dimmed led panels during gameplay
- eliminate paddle ghosting trail effect
- undercab lighting
....and you’ve got a very sellable winner of a game that should be in arcades and personal collections everywhere. Fantastic job. Love it. What’s the name and logo for your new arcade game company / brand? ;)
You could join the greats: Bally, Midway, Atari, Nintendo, Williams, Stern, Gottlieb. Savage? Adams?
an oled display would be great but probably not the cheapest, i think that ips would be right there in the middle between price and looks, some lcd screens invert the colors depending on the viewing angle
I mean seriously. No reason not to build a few of these. Calculate how much it costs you (parts AND labour), then just charge people 3x that amount.
They will pay.
@@alpha_ray_burst And with coins the machine will pay itself eventually
The biggest Issue with OLED screens is that they badly burn-in and also the colours shift as it ages. Arcades machines are left on for hours on end so you will likely find the screen will be failing within a few months and be unusable after a year. I have seen OLEDs used in equipment that is left on 24/7 and all the screens had to be replaced with LCDs after the first year. If the machine is for personal use it may be fine but in a commercial environment, the technology isn't quite there yet.
Adam Kendall you’re right, these things would not be expensive to mass produce or build at all. There’d be some good margin in them and they could still be reasonably priced which would be attractive to business and personal buyers alike.
I think what would make it more attractive and useable for the huge real estate footprint it takes up is if it had more buttons and controls on it per player so it could run multiple new unique multiplayer games in that same 6 person cab. They’re going to have to develop some more games for it....
Congratulations! a wonderful series to watch and share. Thank you very much!
Such a great project, thanks for taking on this amazing challenge. I hope it's the first of many to come.
Awesome project, guys! Thanks for sharing your journey. :)
Loved this whole series, I would absolutely love to see more. UA-cam needs more quality Arcade DIY videos. Thanks for making this.
This was such a great series! please make a Season 2!
Well done team. Great job. Really interesting project to follow. The process and changes were cool.
A fantastic series/journey. Congrats to everyone involved!
This has been great to watch. I’ve looked forward to each episode. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Would love to play it someday.
Great work here, not just the arcade game but the series itself. Didn't think it was possible to beat the King Arthur armour build but I enjoyed this series even more. Feel a little guilty that I can't stretch to a subscription at the moment but honestly, I would watch TV more if there were shows of this quality.
This is the kind of content I want from youtube tbh. Very nice!
Have absolutely loved this project. Can't wait for the next one!
I'd check for light reflections (also with fingerprints) before putting a glass pane above the LEDs or you can put the glass in the bottom almost touching the screen, I think that having that "hole" adds to the epicness of this arcade machine.
I would love to see more epic, multi-episode builds like this one. Great job everyone, please keep them coming! :D
That cabinet/ set up would also support a demo derby or a racing game. You already have a steering wheel and a 'go' button.
Awesome project guys. Best thing I've watched in ages. Have you started planning the next one yet? Why not!!!!
Amazing work and it was a joy to watch you build it.
Awesome 👍 you guys should definitely produce these!
This was a great series, thank you for doing it.
This is an absolutely amazing looking cabinet. Wish I could see it in person!
Glad the public response was so overwhelming guys. Congrats :)
Building an arcade cab right now.... now I want to make a game for it! Loving bits to atoms!!
Thanks, Genius project. Really gorgeous machine!
More like this. It was an awesome series.
You guys did a awesome job on this Starlords arcade game an cabinet.
this series is why I became a premium subscriber.
More Bits to Atoms! Love this stuff!
You guys are heroes! I bought a copy of warlords for my 2600 because of this project.
I have a suggestion for another type of game for that cabinet! A top-down demolition derby game, where the paddle controls the direction your car goes, and the button is like a turbo button, otherwise everybody's moving ALL the time and the object is to just bash your opponents until their cars won't run anymore!
The glow effect on the panel is amazing but it is also definitely seizure inducing as hell.
You could add a "king of the hill" playtype to accommodate queue wait time. As soon as one player is eliminated... they leave and a new player can insert quarter to join. The remaining players can get buffs or point boosts.
A Tron style game would really well for this :D Imagine swooping curved walls instead of straight lines?
Yeah the overheating could be a problem for sure and the option to turn off the leds for some people would be nice.
I'd love to buy one too!!
Wow that’s actually really cool!
There needs to be another one like this only this time Adam needs to be apart of the process.
Hey if you guys made up a bunch of little bluetooth touchscreen interfaces with wireless chargers, you could have this thing deal poker too! Digital poker perks like a computer counting your chips and dealing the cards cleanly while being able to pokerface at your friends and drink beers would be amazing.
You might want to consider adding a second button for lefty’s. Awesome cabinet guys!
Great series. : )
You guys rock!
this was a cool series :)
Dudes, please make this online multiplayer so I can pay it through my MAME cabinet!
Game idea, watch the t-shirt decal of the firing area of the death zone..... it got blocks inside it with can be “shot” away....
I need to go to Cali I love old school arcades they don’t realy have them in Florida :((
So cool
Do a 6 way snake type of game with it. Like slitherio.
Or a tron type game
"I didn't null terminate that string" *Laughs in Rust*
i want one when how much
Optical encoders instead of pots.
good simple game that you can waist a bunch of time and still have fun
How about a 6 person game of ASTEROIDS?!?! ^__^
LED panels definitely looked too bright and distracting. Main focus of the players should be on the screen.
Spend the $$ on tempered glass and the same stuff that protects phone screens
Now make a 3D Dinosaur Arcade Game ;)
Might be better with no music
No views? Did YT hicked or something?
Nice project!!!!
I can see a game: Demolision derby.... the hex arena and cars(paddle steering ofcos)....
I read the title as 'Starlord's Arcade Cabinet' and got excited that they were making a Arcade Machine from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Philster me too. Up until the game was playing on the screen I thought the same thing.
told you to go right
That kid was not 13. More 16/17
AHAHAH #2 IM SO HAPPPPYYYYYYY
PONG!!! Sooo dated!
Was really looking forward to seeing gameplay, none! WTF! Guess, I'll have to look it up elsewhere. Really weird you guys didn't show a single second of playing it, or even did a quick session against each other.
Car Racing game
I'd think there would be more than 486 people that watched this after 15 min, guess not.
Wow what a waste as a one off....
Not everyone watches every video on the channel, and for those of us jumping in late, this is a bunch of guys standing around a table talking about how awesome it is... Not asking for a 2-minute "previously on" but maybe a line about what this thing is would give us casuals a leg up...
This should be titled “A bunch of old dweebs desperately trying to fix their childhoods”
