Doctor Who wants to time warp, play retro games

by Kevin Kelly { Jul 30th 2008 at 8:15PM }

Most of us have probably dabbled around with a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator before, but have you ever crammed one into a TARDIS? Those things are supposed to be bigger on the inside than the outside. Anyhow, one man decided that having a dedicated stand-up gaming cabinet wasn't enough, so he built this pillar of geek awesomeness.

Check out the two different sections, one on the building of the iconic blue Police Box, and the other on the console. He even had the 7th doctor, Sylvester McCoy, autograph the thing. Is it still a sin to covet thy neighbor's sci-fi gaming cabinet? If so, mark us down in the "sinner" category.

[Thanks, Douglas!]

Now someone needs to make a K-9/DS mod.
With a sonic screwdriver stylus.

Dalek cabinets? Let me tell you something about you Daleks. Your race is dead! You all burned, all of you! Ten million ships on fire! The entire Dalek race wiped out in one second!I watched it happen! I made it happen!

In Serious Mode: A dalek cabinet would be pretty sweet.

It's astounding,
Time is fleeting.
Madness, takes it's toll.

But listen closely...
Not for very much longer...
I've got to keep control...

I remember doing the Time Warp,
Drinking those moments when...

I just want the plans to build the TARDIS. Then I'd make it into a cabinet amp for my bass.

As if having a TARDIS wasn't awesome enough, it also plays games!
Mind = blown.

Shroomsday @ Jul 31st 2008 5:36AM

I'm disappointed. Isn't it supposed to be bigger on the inside!?
Nice control panel, though.

Stupid slow comment system!

I've been seeing a lot of Doctor Who related items recently....what's with this surge of interest all of a sudden?

ZeroCorpse @ Jul 31st 2008 2:28PM

The new series is awesome. That's why.

The show was always fun and interesting, but the new series is picking up new viewers, and it's one of the top-rated shows in the U.K. now.

I never miss it. It's one of my favorite things.
