Maybe if you didn't hit the keys so hard when you typed the letters would still be there. Or maybe you have to use a black light to see the letters. Or maybe you are just a nut...I think the third one is most likely.

But in all seriousness, you showed me this little awesomeness before and I think it is super cool. Looks fun.

It was so fun my son wanted to play two players so I made one for our TV using PS3 Controllers.

He loves playing TMNT Arcade Game 2+ Players. Brings back so many memories. Shinobi, Mortal Kombat, Contra, Crazy Taxi, Double Dragon!

What's surprising, on a big TV they actually don't look bad when upscaled to HD.

No, I only built one and it was so hard to do the tiny soldering I don't want to do the design again. Plus some of the parts are hard to get.

That looks waaay better than the games I used to play. I loved the hell out the cheesy Sonic Tiger handheld and Street Fighter Tiger handled that I used to have. I knew it was terrible, but somehow just using my imagination and racking up points was still fun.

I like this man. Interested to see what other things you can manage to get done with a rasberrypi. Always a headtrip. Your designs are very clean too! Good work.

That is so freaking awesome. It would be great if you can send the links where to buy the parts my boyfriend would love to do this kind of stuff. It would be a great advance Christmas gift for him :)

I don't play it too much, but my son and I like playing TMNT and Afterburner. I play a little Double Dragon and a few of the old ones I played as a kid.

(if you would want to have a soundcard and audio input/output, you could look at the cheap USB sound cards (often in blue or black case) very cheap and not to big, but there is maybe not much space for it.)

Awesome build and project, looks really good with the laser cut front plate, the shape, button configuration and feeling looks a bit like a "Sega Advance" very cool!

I wanted to keep it small so the audio filter works well. Sound quality isn't a huge issue and it does sound good.

Thanks! Love your projects as well. I still haven't built the SteemPi, but I want to try it some day.

Does one needs to have an idea of programming to achieve or implement this info?
