Castle Defender Arcade

Arduino based arcade machine | DIY | 2018-05

I always wanted to design my own arcade game and build a dedicated cabinet for it. The Arduino Day 2018 was just the right excuse to make it happen :D The game itself is a port of my Castle Defender DIY handheld game. The cabinet is made of laser cutted and spray painted wood. Inside is an Arduino Uno (with a tv-out generating a black & white fbas signal & sound), supported by an old cars rear-cam monitor, a mono loudspeaker and a proper arcade joystick. The side art was painted in Inkscape, printed on a laser printer and glued to the side of the cabinet.
