Abobo arcade



A friend of mine programmed this tribute to 80s era video games where you play as a character from the Double Dragon arcade and travel through a mix of various Nintendo inspired levels in a quest to save your son who's been taken hostage (typical 80s action game/ action movie plot).


He & the other 2 creators debuted the game at Comic-Con San Diego. I designed this arcade cabinet for it.
There are more pics and a link to the game after the jump.



The key feature of the design was its portability. The whole thing fits easily in the back seat or trunk of a car including the computer and monitor that run the game.
This pic is us wheeling it into a recent classic arcade gaming party in LA. All the other arcades arrived in truck beds and rented trailers.











Setup takes about 20 minutes.
