USB arcade joystick x4 plus Simon game
-
Thanks to retropie I was able to make my own arcade cabinet. Although I employed genuine arcade joysticks and a vintage CRT display I didn't get the same feeling that playing the original arcades. When playing the original, death was dramatic: if you “died” in the game and you wanted to continue playing you had to spend a valuable coin. Since emulators let you simulate the insertion of a coin just by pressing a key, in practical terms you have unlimited lives and the feeling is lost. To solve this I devised a joystick system with an integrated credit counter. The system disables the insert coin buttons unless credits are available and includes a little challenge that must be won in order to obtain them. The challenge is the Simon electronic game created by Ralph Baer and Howard J. Morrison in 1978. As in the original Simon game there will be four skill levels. The number of credits obtained when the game is won will depend on the selected skill level.
