Was intending to include two bonus keycaps if the GB ever runs.

The pure MX solder PCB has lock indicator. And you can also use H87 pcbs.

Sega Astro City is a classic for sure however I felt like Donkey Kong, Street fighters, Space invaders, Astriods, DDR, Pinball etc and the others I used are more well known in my opinion. I would've loved to include pacman/ms pacman but I couldn't think of any ideas that wouldn't lead into copyright lol. Thanks for your opinion anyways
I second Rassles. Also Galaga.
How could I forget!

not knocking anyones ideas and hard work , just stating my preference
two of the MOST iconic arcade machines are the Taito Egret 2 and Sega Astro City , and both have very distinct colour schemes...... it could have been a great opportunity for two totally different but great colour schemes. and even within those schemes you could have a player 1 and player 2 variation so lots of scope to play around.
This seems to be just a bright set that bastardises some of the bright colour cues without capturing some of the iconic feel of the retro arcade
any way just my 10cents worth as former home arcade owner.....

Off Topic / Money Saving Tips (WW3)
« Last post by tp4tissue on Mon, 23 March 2026, 16:39:32 »PC:
Tp4 has reduced things like graphx settings from 8K 144fps to 1080p 144fps, GPU goes from 435watts to 75watts.
Change Desktop to 4K 60hz instead of 4K 144hz, Gpu goes from 60watt idle to 25-40watt.
Lower brightness, as you know 77 inch tvs use up to 300watts of power, 75-ish nominal, if you lower the brightness, you can knock out 20 or so watts.
PASTA:
Pasta takes ALOT of energy if you do it the "right" way. Boil water, pasta, 10-12min, drain.
COLD WATER PASTA, has its roots in Wartime, Start with Pasta already in cold water, get it to boil for 1.5-2 minutes, Then just leave it to cook on residual heat for 5-10 minutes. It's very much still possible to produced Al-dente, you just have to figure-out by trial the Rest-Time for the THICKNESS of the pasta in question. Spaghetti/Bowties will take ~7-10 minutes of rest, whereas elbows/angelhair take only 4-5 minutes of rest.

Is it because they are constantly at war, or do they not have any programs in place?
There is nothing clean or healthy about war.
