Justin Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 These are the types of projects I love to see, and the types of things Atari did in their early days that gave them so much character. You just don't see cool arcade cabinets like this anymore. A little bit of cool history resurrected. btbfilms76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I think the game "Tapper" would look good in that cabinet too. Justin and btbfilms76 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm thinking Donkey Kong would benefit from a cool Barrel cabinet! RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jin Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Absolutely awesome job BTB, that barrel cab is truly a thing of beauty! Can't wait to check out the new Jag Bar videos too. A Jaguar is still a bit out of my price range but I always love watching your videos and listening to you share your passion and enthusiasm for all things Atari. btbfilms76 and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btbfilms76 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 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!

Scott Stilphen Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Nice job with this, Brian. What software are you using to emulate Pong? btbfilms76 and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btbfilms76 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 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.

Scott Stilphen Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 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. btbfilms76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
