Well, while I’m still in Ghostbusters mood, let’s talk about an arcade game based on them! I’ve been slow making new Arcade Center posts, but what better way to bring a new edition than talking about the Ghostbusters?

Okay, there might be a better way, but hey, why not?

Jobocan’s Arcade Center #3 : DonPachi

April 23rd, 2009

If you’re an arcade game fan, it’s more than likely that you also really love shmups. They’re a big genre in the arcade market, and there’s tons of them. And most of them are really good.

Here’s one that I really like: DonPachi. It also has a few sequels, including DoDonPachi, DoDonPachi 2, and some console releases. From my experience, the sequels share the same basic gameplay, so here I’ll only talk about DonPachi.

Jobocan’s Arcade Center #1 – Making of the arcade cabinet (not 100% complete yet)

March 11th, 2009

Hey everyone!

Recently I’ve been interested in a fun little project. I always wanted to have my own arcade cabinet, to have something similar to the arcade experience. Sure, I could just download ROMs and use MAME playing with a keyboard, but that just doesn’t cut it. And an actual cabinet with a game in it is… usually pretty expensive and not THAT easy to find.

So I set my goal to have my own upright arcade cabinet. And I found that the best and most cost-effective way was to make one myself. That’s how my quest to make my own arcade cabinet started.

And as you can see this is the #1 of my Arcade Center “series”, so I’ll have much more to talk about. I’ll start with my cabinet that I’m building right now.

Read on, there’s a bunch of info after the jump.
