I'm starting on a project to build a Hammerwatch inspired counter top arcade machine. I recently fell in love with this game as it reminds me of the old school gauntlet arcade games. After searching around I haven't seen anyone do a project like this yet and i think this game's throwback style deserves a full coin op housing to enjoy like the old days.
Right now i have the internal workings complete, its running on an old netbook that was about to be tossed out and i have 4 players possible by 2 arcade sticks with 8 buttons each as well as 2 hidden snes style usb controllers. Its also going to include mame and console emulated versions of gauntlet.
For the overall look i am going to include a light up marquee with the hammerwatch logo, but i need to find some fan art of the characters to adorn the sides of the machine. If anyone would be willing to create or share some vector style fan art that can be printed please let me know. Or any other tips or ideas on what the project could include please feel free to share, this is only the second arcade cabinet i have built.
