Seven Kingdoms Open Source Bartop Arcade -- Episode 590

In 1998 everybody and their Grandma played Age of Empires, but Clem was hooked on its competitor Seven Kingdoms. Now 25 years later Seven Kingdoms still has a cult following and is available as open source on the Web. Clem always felt it was less of a simulation but more of an arcade style real time strategy game. So he builds what always should have been real: an arcade cabinet for playing Seven Kingdoms; including a trackball mouse and Neopixel light effects.

mayermakes Awesome build!. Someday I'll actually build one. Love the track ball. The original Legend of Zelda would be my choice.
