Title: My wall display.
Post by: Carlos on September 03, 2014, 13:26:04 PM
I don't have loads and loads of stuff, on a recent visit to the O2 I saw how cool somethings look when wall mounted, so I made a start in covering one of the the walls in my office.

the C=64 does not hang nicely so I left that off.

thanks guys, all the holes are made to measure, so the very most I would use to hold them up is blue tak- and thats only on the GB carts, I want to be able to use them when I wish to so did not go the glue route.

Its not bad at all, it has a 'modern' version as well as the Arcade original, but the d-pad is couter intuative to the controls as its diagonals that work best.

I have now blogged this http://retrotext.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/the-wall-of-retro-games.html (//http)

That's cool.  I guess it does take getting used to with a D-Pad to play with it.
