Not Your Average Arcade Console
I’m hatching plans to build a MAME console so that I can relive the retro arcade game era in my own home. No matter how much effort I put into the project though, I don’t think I’ll be able to top this.
Being somewhat of a Doctor Who fan, the thought of having my own TARDIS in the house is pretty appealing (it would certainly help address the storage problems that result from living on a narrow block!). The creator of the TARDIS MAME Console does a good job of writing up the process he followed to build the thing (complete with random humour). Great stuff.
