AS SEEN ON US TV!
I'd always wanted to have my very own arcade machine in my home. Unfortunately, they don't look the best and would have to live in the 'man-cave', garage, or shed. After over a decade of dreaming, I set about building my own DIY Arcade Machine that could live happily in ANY living room... Fast forward a few months and one of my videos went semi-viral! What's more, the host of Right This Minute stumbled upon it and LOVED IT! He got in touch and featured it on one of his shows. Check out the video...
Making the ‘Secret’ Arcade GamePad
There's a lot of work that goes into building my Dingo System. I've always wanted an arcade machine coffee table, but the constraints of adult life mean it's not practical to have an arcade machine in the living room. The answer is to have a machine that looks and functions as a classic, robust, and stylish coffee table... BUT is secretly a super games machine! Check it out!...

River Raid | Atari 2600
River Raid was one of the most popular Atari games of all time. The scrolling shooter video game that sold over a million game cartridges for the Atari 2600 alone. The success of the game saw it converted to the Atari 5200, ColecoVision, and Intellivision game consoles, as well as to the Commodore 64, IBM PCjr, MSX, ZX Spectrum, and the lesser known Atari 8-bit family home computers.
X-Men Vs Street Fighter | Playstation
As a HUGE fan of Street Fighter II growing up and X-Men V SF would have to be my favourite spin-off. It's also the only arcade game I've managed to (and continue to) beat on a single credit. Though I must say the PS1 version has proved to be a lot tougher! You'll see... What's your favourite Street Fighter game?
Operations Manual | Desktop Version
It wouldn't be a proper system without an operations manual! Made it fun and efficient highlighting the main elements all in easy to understand picture form. It features: setup, general operations, controller conversions, fun facts, and ALL 10,000 games!
F-Zero | GameCube
Brothers reliving this classic originally from the Super Nintendo, then N64, and now the GameCube. Quality and gameplay is outstanding and converts well to the Dingo System
Mario Kart | GameCube
Game on Show: Mario Kart - Double Dash!Console: GameCube

New Promo Video
When people first discover the coffee table before them doubles as a 10,000 game arcade styled video game machine, their expressions have been overwhelmingly ecstatic! Some have truly been lost for words usually followed by, "Wow! Wow! Wow!" I made this video to reflect people's excitement they have when first viewed. Enjoy!
Street Fighter II – Gameboy
Street Fighter II - Gameboy?? Was a huge fan of both back in the day but had no idea of this format. The game plays surprisingly well and makes for a good conversion.
