Day 23: Papercraft 80s arcade games (2nd batch)
Now that all my Old West buildings from Whitewash City are done, I’m moving on to other papercraft projects. Today I was busy with a gaming session all day and was pretty tired when I came home, so I did something easy — more of the 80s arcade game standups from Way of the Rodent that I had printed out earlier. Today’s two games are Galaga and Gauntlet. I chose Galaga in honor of Jocelyn, because it was her favorite game, and I chose the 4-player Gauntlet game because it had an interesting-shaped cabinet. I remember dropping many, many quarters into Gauntlet (and Gauntlet II) — the fact that you could continue indefinitely if you had enough quarters was very addictive.
These two models were pretty easy to cut out and put together, but I don’t think I did the Galaga model right. That front joystick section should project outwards, not tilt inwards. I’ll have to print out another one and see if I can do it right.
