Launch of my Alien Bartop (Desktop MAME cabinet)

After much delay, I am finally ready to reveal my alien-themed 'Bartop' Mame cabinet!

You'll note special features such as wireless keyboard/mouse, rotating screen, illuminated buttons, glowing 'space invader' exhaust vent.

The cabinet also features (not shown) a removable control panel (to replace with other configurations such as a trackball).

too complicated, and you just placed the joystick at the wrong place dude whats up with that!?

@lllBoRUSSlll Read the existing comments. That is a dedicated 4-way stick for older games (pac-man, donkey kong, etc). There's an 8-way black batton-top joystick on the left.

Placed the stick at the wrong place?

[dmworking247]

@zather123 As mentioned, there's another one (8-way) on the left. The one on the right is a dedicated 4-way for classics like Pacman and Frogger that don't require buttons and handle better with a 4-way stick.

Update: This video seems a little odd since it was edited to the sound of "2001: A space odyssey", but unfortunately youtube muted the audio, so I replaced it with a generic Youtube soundtrack.
