Bartop build - Mars Attacks
-
Hey Guys! So I finished a prefab bartop Arcade about 3 weeks ago. I have a few pics, but this was the first time I documented a project by video so I’ll provide a couple of links to YouTube for an unboxing and the build (sped up of course). Majority of the parts, including the cabinet, were purchased from Game Room Solutions. It’s running on a Rasberry Pi 3 with a HyperPie image. The Mars Attacks theme was put together by me from images found on the web, and printed by GRS. Here are the links.
Pics to follow!

Nicely done! -
@vaportrail I like the mostly black & white design with only some coloured highlights.

Thanks! The first couple of designs were all color, then I came across a lot of comic themed images and just went with it. I felt like it it need some color to make it seem like the Martian Ambassador was coming to life out of the control panel.

@vaportrail He certainly looks very impressive and even a bit three-dimensional, at least in the video. ;)

Forgot I promised a few pics!

This is VERY well done. The artwork shows how much effort you put into this.

Thx Sgt!

I think the light up buttons and joysticks really sell it for me. Obviously besides the kickass artwork.

Here are some closeups of the outside and some of the inner workings.
