Every now and then, a YT vid comes along and you just become glued to the screen. This story is so fascinating - I can't imagine the amount of time effort and research that went into it. Welcome back Uncle Derek
NEW VIDEO! I spent the last 2.5 years uncovering the truth behind Faceball 2000’s legendary 16-player multiplayer mode.

The result was a 2-hour documentary!

Grab your GameBoy and a link cable! This is the craziest journey of my career, I hope you enjoy!

This was my first arcade designed for a CNC machine. The idea was to capture the same essence of an Astro City while trying to keep the design within the restrictions of "flat pack" / panels of MDF. Even has a working candy cab style coin mech.

Will probably revisit this one again later on!

Any Third Strike fans? I use a small frontend that allows me to make themes fairly quickly. This one is based on Street Fighter III: Third Strike
