THE VERDICT

3/5
 

JUDGE'S COMMENTS**:

Zakk: I still see it as a kit, which really affected my vote on this.  I can't deny there is a TON of work in this, but it's a bit too kooky to get a 'best of the best' nod.
Stingray: Going by the description, I didn't think I'd like it. Turns out it's amazing. I'd definitely support this one for a controls mamey. What locked it for me was the rack of accessories that can be attached to one of the panels. This thing is an engineering marvel.
markrvp: I think based on the design and configuration ability of the arcade controls, Sybil is highly deserving of a MAMEY in the controls category.  Many of the things he did are very innovative.  If there is a game you can't play on this cabinet, I don't know what it would be.  His system of rails to swap out analog controls on that one panel was very creative.
DrewKaree: I say that's Mamey-worthy, even if dude IS a (silly fellow) for paying THOUSANDS simply to get a peek at the innards.  Dude took 1UP's mousetrap, and built the damn thing better.  Kudos!  I definitely vote yes!
missioncontrol: Pimping up the controls on a kit still primarily makes it well.... a kit with added features....
