The third project in this series is a bartop arcade machine to go in the bar my son and daughter-in-law built in the front room of their house. The theme is based on the logo I created for the bar, “Katie’s Corner” and uses pink, green, and their cat, Kitty.
The cabinet is 17.5″ wide, 23″ high, and 17.5″ deep. We’re using the same Raspberry Pi 5 that is in the other arcades, an 8-way joystick, 6 buttons for game control and 2 buttons for coin and admin functions, and a spinner. An external USB port will allow multi-player use.
