Well if that isn’t this the coolest thing ever. Love the modification of putting the LED scream at the top the show what game is playing. So cool.

Wow, wow, wow! - this is very cool - better not let hubby see this - although I do tend to make him whatever he wants.

FYI: If you look at the link…those characters are actually inlays! Far more impressive!

yes, good catch, all the characters are inlays. The sides are two layers of 1/8" acrylic. The outside layer has the cut-outs for the characters and then cut each of the inlays and glue’d them in.

Too cool for school! And nice selection on the joystick - the swtichable 4/8 way is highly needed for different games.
