Day 25: Papercraft 80s arcade games (4th batch)
Hi, I’m Adam, and I apparently can’t stop making papercraft arcade game models. Tonight it’s Dragon’s Lair and Tempest. Dragon’s Lair was another game I never played more than a couple of times because it looked too difficult. I liked watching expert players play it at the arcade, though. Tempest was and still is one of my favorite games. Maybe it’s the abstract vector graphics that I love about it, or the one-wheel-and-a-button simplicity of the controls.
The Tempest model was a more complicated shape, but it was pretty straightforward to put together and I constructed it without any problems. The Dragon’s Lair model was more problematic, and I ended up having to modify it in order to get the 3-sided marquee to look right (some more material had to be removed from the roof of the cabinet in order for the sides to fold back properly).

Wow. I spent many many *cough* nickels on Tempest and quarters on Dragon’s Lair.
