    That's really great that you got past the joystick graveyard Andy & looks fantastic , the cardboard mockup was a cool touch & really inspired design!

    I really like this Andy, the 3D print gives the control panel a sort of brushed metal look , very cool!

    Hopefully it's just early in the voting process. image I'm super happy with the arcade, but there's a lot I could improve in the video. A great learning experience in any case!
