TARDIS MAME cabinet makes even Daleks swoon

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 31st 2008 at 5:31AM

There are all sorts of things into which one can stuff a MAME machine, but why not build one into a TARDIS? The Dr. Who blue police box is surely the stuff of TV nerds, but when one combines that with emulated arcade games, well, geekvana surely swirls and creates a vortex of pure bliss for all to enjoy. Or maybe it creates uncomfortable silences. Or whatever. What's really important is that the machine's construction is detailed step-by-step in what is easily one of the most impressive cabinets we've seen since that one with the keg. Or that one build into an oscilloscope. Wait... was is the one in the dinner table? Ah, we give up.

Ah - the Doctor's secret headquarters. When you go inside, it's actually bigger!

Is it bigger on the inside? Does it travel through time and space? Fail.

More to the point, will it dial 999?

Clearly, the chameleon circuit must have broken again just when it was halfway through transforming into an arcade cabinet.

Also, abreviating Doctor Who to Dr. Who? Shame on you, Engadget. As the Dalek Emperor said "Those words are blasphemy!"...

I think that's fulfilled my British sci-fi geek reference quota for today.

Very nice construct of the T.A.R.D.I.S.! I think I'll still wait until someone builds a panic room in the shape of a T.A.R.D.I.S. :)

I just want a TARDIS in my house. I don't even care what's in it.

Actually, my wife would probably want it even more than I would.
