I think the game "Tapper" would look good in that cabinet too. 

I believe Tapper had some cabinets that had an actual beer tap on it as controllers - super cool!

Wow man this thing looks amazing. Good job. You were going for class and you nailed it!

Thanks so much.  The wife was a little pissed I was bringing another cabinet in the house... But I nailed this one and no complaints.

Nice job with this, Brian.  What software are you using to emulate Pong?

At the moment of filming I was using Mame, Ill have to double check what version. How ever Pong was sketchy on it, it worked but not as good as I would have liked. I’m trying a RetroPie as well so I will let you know how that works once its up and running.

I came across a company called Bradbury Barrel (http://www.bradburybarrel.com/).  In the 'displays' section, at the bottom of the page, is the 'space saver wine merchant' which has a notched barrel mounted on top of a small cabinet.  So I emailed them for a quote.  $379.  Maybe if it was full of wine... which it isn't.

See what Im saying - too expensive.  I the one I found was about $150 on ebay.
