Thanks for your reply
Well, I am just about done with a game that is loads of fun to play,
but is rather low tech... It is about 1978, technology wise, but that
is part of the charm. In my opinion it's more fun than anything
current. It uses non-off-the-shelf controls and would probably earn
many quarters in a bar. I am probably just going to release it open
source with instructions on how to build the controls, but I would just
love to see it get into some public spaces. From a business
perspective, this game probably doesn't make sense from a "marketing"
point of view, so I have no hopes of Nintendo or even Atari putting it
out. However it would probably be a successful product for a small
indie type game company. I have even toyed with the idea of
manufacturing a machine or two myself - I have seen many sites where
people build fully working coin op game cabinets (for MAME etc) but
don't really have the carpentry skills or the patience to do that part
of it (I'm already thinking ahead to the next game!). So here I am
looking around to see if there's anyone I can work with to get some
machines made.
